Overall Curriculum: Two pathways to success

BCIS’s vision for its dual curriculum meets professional standards in teaching and learning by providing excellence in education through quality-assured programs and syllabi.

The BCIS learning environment focuses on a learner-centred approach to active learning. It uses the most effective pedagogical methodologies and incorporates modern technology to enhance the teaching and learning process.

Two pathways to success

French programme

BCIS is the only school on Phuket island to be licensed by the French Ministry of National Education. As a result, it is held to high standards by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE). The French educational network abroad is the world’s largest educational network.

This license covers classes from Kindergarten to Middle School and officially recognises the school’s adherence to the principles of French Education. Accreditation by the French Ministry of Education certifies that the teaching provided by the school complies with the demands, curricula, teaching objectives, and organisation of the French education system. Students from accredited schools can pursue their education in another French school or a French university without taking an entrance examination.

This program leads to the prestigious French baccalaureate, internationally recognised and grants access to many universities worldwide.

Cambridge programme

BCIS is recognised as a quality provider of the Cambridge programme. The Cambridge IGCSE and A-level courses and examinations are considered a gold standard of education recognised by the world’s best universities and employers.

Developing the curriculum

When designing and developing the curriculum at BCIS, we have utilised the expertise of our teaching community to provide a comprehensive and international approach to the planning and delivery of quality programs. Our global approach fully incorporates the multilingual demographic of our learners. Both core and non-core subject syllabi meet the expectations of the Cambridge International Curriculum and Cambridge Examinations.

Students

The curriculum will motivate, engage, and challenge our students as they acquire the skills and competencies required to progress through the stages and meet the expected academic, personal, and social outcomes. 

Teacher Pedagogical Approaches

Our teachers are aware of their powerful influence on student learning. They bring the curriculum to life by translating learning and assessment objectives, syllabus aims, subject content, and school policy into meaningful learning experiences. Our talented teaching staff have created a positive, inclusive, and collaborative learning environment at the centre of our vision for teaching and learning. At BCIS, our pedagogies constantly evolve, ensuring our approaches are informed by relevant evidence.
