We deliver STEAM education, the IB Diploma Programme, and Cooperative Learning as core components of our pedagogy. The IB Diploma Programme is central to the secondary curriculum, and Cambridge examination results are consistently strong. 98% of students progress to higher education after school, with many entering prestigious universities worldwide, and 100% of IB participants achieve notable results.
Arts and creative activities are offered as part of the after‑school program. Primary students have Art & MindLab, Musical Theatre, and Musical Games, with Modern Dance as part of the offerings; Infants also engage in related creative activities, while Secondary includes performing arts options. These activities run after school and foster creativity, collaboration, and performance across age groups.
From early education, English and German are vehicular languages for about half of the subjects, alongside Spanish. The school supports language immersion through study trips to England (primary) and Ireland and Germany (secondary).
