At the British International School of Tenerife, subjects are thoughtfully structured to offer a comprehensive and balanced education from the Early Years through to Secondary Education, all in alignment with the British Curriculum.

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, children are introduced to basic literacy and numeracy skills through playful and engaging activities, fostering a love for learning.

As they progress to Primary Education, the curriculum broadens to include core subjects such as English, Mathematics and Science. This stage emphasizes developing core skills and knowledge while encouraging creativity and critical thinking.

In Secondary Education students engage more in-depth in these subjects and can specialize in areas of interest.

Key Stage 3 marks the transition from primary to secondary education, where students build on their foundational knowledge and skills.

Key Stage 4 focuses on preparing students for their General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. During this stage, students typically study a core set of subjects (English, Mathematics, and Science) along with a selection of optional subjects based on their interests and career aspirations.

Sixth form, which encompasses the final two years of secondary education, offers students the opportunity to further specialize in subjects of their choice. During this period, students typically study for A-levels or other equivalent qualifications, focusing on a smaller number of subjects in greater depth.

This stage is crucial for preparing students for higher education, vocational training, or entering the workforce. Sixth form education emphasizes independent learning, critical thinking, and advanced knowledge in chosen subjects, ensuring students are well-equipped for their future academic and career paths.
