BISR follows the National Curriculum for England to the end of Year 9, GCSE courses in Years 10 and 11, and A levels courses in Years 12-13. BISR benchmarks itself against private and leading state schools in Britain. It has long-standing links with British universities. The staff frequently go on training courses in the U.K. and it brings British trainers, speakers and facilitators into school to work directly with staff and students. BISR has a strong and valued relationship with the British embassy and with the RGBB. Its adherence to a modified National Curriculum for England enables students to transfer seamlessly to U.K. schools or universities if or when they return to Britain.
