The Secondary curriculum follows the English National Curriculum where possible, supplemented by the Inspired curriculum and Panamanian Social Sciences. High Performance Learning (HPL) components are integrated across the Key Stage 3 program. In Key Stage 4 (Years 10–11), pupils undertake GCSE/IGCSE examinations, with compulsory subjects including English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography or History, and Spanish (for non-native speakers as appropriate), plus compulsory Physical Education and PSHE; pupils may select additional GCSE/IGCSE options such as Art, Computer Science or French. In Key Stage 5 / Sixth Form, the School offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), a two-year programme with TOK, CAS and the Extended Essay, designed to prepare students for top universities worldwide. Instruction is in English with full English immersion; French is offered as an optional language and Panamanian studies are integrated where required. The curriculum framework emphasizes High Performance Learning as a core approach.

The school achieves consistently outstanding examination results and prepares students to study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. In Years 10–11, students sit IGCSE examinations across a range of subjects. In 2022, the IB Diploma average score was 35 (world average 31.98), and A Level results included 27% A grades; many graduates go on to Russell Group or Ivy League universities.

The IBDP is internationally recognized and prepares students for top universities worldwide; the programme provides a seamless progression from IGCSE to IB DP. For American universities, SAT preparation programs are available in Panama. The school notes that graduates gain access to universities around the world, including top global institutions.

The Nsouli Scholars Programme offers up to 50 full scholarships at any one time for extraordinary students to attend Inspired's prestigious schools, enabling access to a transformative education. Academic results highlight strong performance, with IB outcomes (e.g., 2022) showing higher scores than global averages and a substantial share of graduates proceeding to leading universities, including Russell Group and Ivy League institutions.
