Academics

Curriculum

Students at the International British School of Bucharest follow the National Curriculum of England and Wales, within an international school context. We see as central to our curriculum the need to develop our students as responsible, mature, community orientated citizens of the world.

Our curriculum offers students aged 3-18 years a strong academic programme, with student attainment well above the national average, in combination with a wide range of extracurricular activities to ensure that our students develop to achieve their full potential both inside and outside the classroom.

Below is a table providing a general overview of the IBSB Curriculum structure, from Preschool until Year 13. For a more detailed picture of the curriculum, please visit the individual Key Stage pages on the school website.
