Our Early Years department provides high-quality education for children aged from 1 to 5 years in a beautiful, purpose-designed learning environment. At King`s Oak British International School children are encouraged to make choices and decisions for themselves supported by our caring team, who nurture each child’s self-esteem and their belief in themselves as learners.
In the Secondary department we build on the firm foundations laid in the primary department and open our children’s minds to all possibilities. We follow the British National Curriculum for Key Stage 3 and personalize it to meet the needs of the individual. |
