Denla British School’s curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum, beginning in Early Years and continuing through Year 6 in the Lower School, with specialist lessons in Thai, Mandarin, music, PE, computing and art woven throughout. The Lower School (Mini Dragons through Year 6) emphasises core subjects, English, maths and science, alongside creative and language development from age 2 to 11. Upper School students in Years 7–9 build on this foundation with a broad academic programme designed to prepare them for Cambridge IGCSE in Years 10–11. In Years 10–11, students take IGCSE examinations across a broad range of core and elective subjects, including sciences, humanities, languages and arts. Finally, in Sixth Form (Years 12–13), students follow Cambridge A‑Level courses in disciplines such as mathematics, sciences, humanities and creative subjects to prepare for university-level study.
