Curriculum details	Curriculum details —	Curriculum details The school teaches a hybrid of the British National Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate (IB). From ages 2 to 18, students benefit from small class sizes and individual attention. The National Curriculum in England is taught up to age 14, followed by two years of IGCSE preparation for ages 14-16; the IGCSE provides external, independent accreditation and is recognised by German authorities as Mittlere Reife. The school offers two IB pathways—the Diploma Programme (DP) and the Career-related Programme (CP)—which complement the British education and prepare students for higher education. The IB complements and mirrors the British education we offer and is recognised as equivalent to the German Abitur.
