Enrolments Now Open | Secondary School

We take the approach that each child is unique, with special talents and abilities and an individual learning style. We acknowledge that children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates, and believe that all areas of learning and development are equally important and inter-connected.

We see our children as naturally competent learners from birth, resilient, capable, confident and self-assured, and have designed a programme to build on these qualities, developing positive supportive relationships to nurture an inquisitive approach to learning where making mistakes is viewed as an important part of the learning process.

In educating our children to become strong, responsible, independent learners, our teachers recognise that the learning environment plays a key role in supporting and extending a child’s development.

Our classes offer a safe, caring environment, which promotes physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being, with good communications skills, as part of the core curriculum. We have a strong focus on developing key literacy and numeracy skills, artistic abilities and interests, and a general knowledge and understanding of the world.

Languages are an important part of our learning journey here at IBSB because we understand that learning languages at an early age builds learning capacity for later, and so the children joining our programme in the early years have the opportunity to learn three languages or more from the age of 5, including English, French, German, Spanish, Romanian, Japanese, and Chinese.

Extended and modern campus

With a campus modernised in recent years, IBSB offers dedicated areas where children of different ages can spend time outdoors for physical activities, socialising or snack breaks. The areas include sports fields (football, basketball), ping-pong tables, climbing and play centres, and an area dedicated to children in the Early Years, with activities and safety features suitable for their age. The campus upgrades include a new administrative building that includes the Early Years Center and a colorful and spacious Lunch Room.
