Studies in many countries show that students learn best when they are active and involved, when they are encouraged to think for themselves and when they participate in solving their own problems and challenges. The curriculum therefore focuses on student-centred learning using appropriate teaching and learning strategies such as group and cooperative learning. Problem solving strategies and higher level thinking skills are consistently emphasized during the student’s learning experience.

The School applies an integrated learning approach at the primary level with a gradual focus on individual subjects at the secondary level. In line with the British curriculum’s requirements, the curriculum is subject-focused at secondary level, leading to the GCSE O and A level examinations.

The curriculum is designed to develop well-rounded individuals who are able to think for themselves, contribute to society and be responsible and engaged citizens of their country.

The school is moving to the International Bacalaureate (IB) Curriculum. It has been accepted as a candidate school for the P.Y.P. (Primary Years Programme) and began formal implementation in July 2005.

To graduate, students must obtain a minimum of seven O level subjects, which must be taken in one sitting. At advanced and subsidiary levels, they must obtain a minimum of 3.5 subjects. All of the Class 12 graduates pursue tertiary-level education.

English Language Workshop
The Language Workshop is a significant feature of the School's commitment to being an English medium institution, to develop the student's English language abilities.

The workshop teaches students basic language skills to complement the English language and literature classes. This approach enhances students’ core reading and writing competencies as prescribed by the British curriculum. With creative teacher-facilitated learning and active student participation, they also improve their speaking and listening abilities significantly.

Computer Studies
Starting in kindergarten, students receive hands-on experience with computers. The aim is to ensure that all students are computer literate - one of the School’s most important goals.
