The British Curriculum
The unique curriculum offered by British International School of New York provides a highly successful school experience for children that is based on a clear definition of:
- How the staff and parent and community partnership will nurture learning (methodology)
- How achievement will be measured and recognised (assessment)
The British (English) National Curriculum is respected worldwide as one that is thorough in all the traditional disciplines including: Reading, with an emphasis on phonics, comprehension and appreciation of literature, Writing, Speaking, Listening, Mathematics, Science, Social Sciences, World Language, Music, Art, Physical Education, Computer and other technology tools.
From the ages of 4 – 5
The Foundation Stage is for children aged three to five, and covers the years they spend from the beginning of nursery or pre-school to the end of reception class in primary school. This is recognised as a distinct stage of learning, when children learn best through active play which builds on their individual needs and interests.
