BMIS curriculum is based upon the UK National Curriculum and includes additional learning opportunities to extend and enhance it. The Early Years Foundation Stage framework from England underpins the Early Years. The British National Curriculum provides the foundation for Primary and Secondary, with Cambridge Secondary for Mathematics, English and Science in Years 7–9 and Year 9 Checkpoint examinations; pupils move to the IGCSE examinations in Years 10–11. The language of learning is English. The Sixth Form offers a flexible programme combining A-levels and BTEC, and supports university placement worldwide.

Small classes allow students to receive individual attention.

The Sixth Form leads to higher education with all students who want to go to university obtaining offers from universities of their choice; alumni have studied at Oxford University, University College London, University of Pennsylvania, University of British Columbia, Maastricht University, Rhodes University and University of Cape Town, among others.

If a student needs additional learning support or is very able, the Learning Support Department provides support and challenge materials.

The school nurtures a caring and supportive environment that acknowledges the value and individual needs of all pupils and staff. It builds positive and respectful relationships between pupils, parents, staff and the wider community.

The school has identified 34 pupils as having special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), three of whom receive additional support.
