The British International School of Marbella 2.88

The British International School of Marbella (BISM) follows the English National Curriculum. It is a standardised curriculum that is followed by hundreds of British schools around the world. By choosing a British education for your son or daughter, you can ensure continuity in their education anywhere in the world. For further information on the English National Curriculum, please visit the official website at the UK Department of Education.

British qualified staff deliver the English National Curriculum supported in most instances by a qualified Teacher's Assistant. All children are taught in mixed ability classes, with children of the same age. Children may be taught English, Maths or other core subjects in smaller groups if we consider support is needed.

Teaching and learning is enquiry based with an emphasis on problem solving and aims to build up pupils' abilities as learners. Work takes place both individually and in groups. Class sizes are generally small which allows for greater personal attention to each pupil's learning needs.

Spanish is also a major element of the curriculum at BISM enabling pupils to learn one of the world's most important languages. Spanish studies ensure that we meet the requirements of the local education authority and prepare children for Spanish university should they choose this route in their further education.

Music, sport, drama and educational trips together with a range of other activities form an integral part of a broad curriculum that aims to help students learn essential skills and discover a range of abilities.
