While some schools offer special curricula, such as Montessori, most British boarding schools follow the British curriculum, which spans across 13 years and covers a broad and balanced range of subjects, STEM subjects, languages, and arts and humanities. 

By the age of 16 students complete a GCSE assessment (General Certificate of Secondary Education). An international version of the test is also available called IGCSE. The upper level of high school ends with A-level assessments which are used when applying to universities in the UK and across the world. 

There are several benefits of following a British curriculum.

• The British system is recognized worldwide, useful for university applications abroad

• Wide and balanced education based on variety of subjects

• Curriculum is based on educational framework of key stages which are well-defined and provide clear overview of desired progression

• Student's growth is supported beyond the classroom
