Subjects Offered
Core Subjects
At the heart of our curriculum are English, Mathematics and the Sciences. These subjects not only provide essential knowledge and skills but also encourage students to think critically and solve problems creatively. English develops the ability to communicate effectively and appreciate literature, while Mathematics builds logical reasoning and precision. The Sciences encourage curiosity about the natural world and a deeper understanding of how it works. Together, these subjects create a solid foundation for success at IGCSE, A-Levels and beyond.
General
Our broad and balanced curriculum gives every student the chance to explore a wide range of subjects. Alongside core areas, students study Humanities, Technology, Physical Education and more. This wide exposure helps them identify their strengths and interests, while building independence, confidence and transferable skills. By providing variety, we ensure that all learners can find pathways that inspire them and prepare them for future study and careers.
Personal Development
Education at Braeburn goes well beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to take part in leadership opportunities, service projects and outdoor learning activities. These experiences build resilience, teamwork and empathy, while helping them to become responsible global citizens. Whether it is leading a house team, organising a fundraising initiative or participating in outdoor expeditions, students learn to apply their skills in real-world contexts. This focus on personal growth equips them not only for academic success but also for the challenges of adult life.
The Arts
We believe that creativity is central to a rich education. Our performing and visual arts programmes encourage students to develop their talents and to express themselves with confidence. With dedicated spaces for music, drama and art, students have the resources to explore their creativity in depth. Regular performances, concerts, art exhibitions and productions bring the school community together and celebrate the imagination and originality of our students. The arts also help to build confidence, resilience and collaboration — qualities that benefit every aspect of school life.
Languages
In an international setting, strong communication skills are essential. Alongside English, students have the opportunity to study French and Swahili, developing both their linguistic ability and cultural understanding. Learning additional languages broadens horizons and fosters empathy with others, while also opening doors to future study and career opportunities across the world. Our approach ensures that students not only learn to communicate effectively but also appreciate the richness of other cultures.
