BSU teaches the National Curriculum of England and Wales. The curriculum is subdivided into a series of Key Stages for different year groups, each with its own course of study and requirements to interlink to provide sequential development of knowledge and skills as a child learns and grows. EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), Primary (Year One to Six), and Secondary form the main learning pathways, with the Sixth Form providing advanced study. The Sixth Form studies for Cambridge A-Level examinations, with AS and A2 level subjects including Mathematics and Further Mathematics, English Literature, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, Business Studies, History, Art and Global Perspectives. BSU is an accredited member of the Council of British International Schools, with two awards in 2018: Compliance and Patron's Accreditation.

The Sixth Form offers Cambridge A-Level examinations. The school provides university counsellors to support progression to higher education and aims for entry to the best universities worldwide, while some students pursue higher education within Mongolia.

Pastoral care and student support are provided; families can meet with staff during Open Days to learn about pastoral care and the school community.

Pastoral care supports wellbeing; there is a designated student wellbeing counsellor available (unicounsellor@britishschool.edu.mn).

The school has a Child Safeguard Policy.

Step One: Initial Enquiry. Families may call the School Reception, email the Admissions Team, or request a call to collect details and book an appointment.

Step Two: Consultation with the Registrar and School Tour. The Admissions Team meets parents to introduce them to the School, provides an information pack in English or Mongolian on request, and arranges a tour. The Admissions Team is usually available to meet with parents between 13:00 and 15:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays during term time; other appointments may be available by request. A meeting with the Headmaster can be arranged if possible.

Step Four: Assessment and Taster Sessions. After formal registration and payment of the non-refundable fee, an entrance assessment session is arranged at the School, which includes a written examination where appropriate and an age-appropriate interview with a Head of Key Stage, Deputy Head Master or the Head Master as age and availability permit. International candidates not currently resident in Mongolia may sit the Entrance Assessments at their current school, at a British Council Office, or at a British Embassy under proper supervision and invigilated conditions.

Step Five: Results and Decisions. After the entrance assessment and any possible taster session, the Head Master makes the decision. Parents are informed of the result, which will be either a confirmed place, an offer to be placed on a waiting list, or no offer. The Head Master's decision on entrants is final.
