The Curriculum
The curriculum at BISC Łódż is based upon the British educational system for 3 – 18 year olds. This is explained below.
In the United Kingdom, a child’s compulsory education is divided into four Key Stages which follow the government-based educational programme known as the National Curriculum.
Primary school
Key Stages 1 and 2 comprise ages 3 to 11, and include the following classes:
Foundation (ages 3-5)
Year 1 (ages 5-6)
Year 2 (ages 6-7)
Year 3 (ages 7-8)
Year 4 (ages 8-9)
Year 5 (ages 9-10)
Year 6 (ages 10-11)
Secondary school
Key Stages 3 and 4 comprise ages 11 to 16, and includes the following classes:
Year 7 (ages 11-12)
Year 8 (ages 12-13)
Year 9 (ages 13-14)
Year 10 (ages 14-15)
Year 11 (ages 15-16).
A Level classes
Years 12 and 13 comprise ages 16 – 18/19, and prepares students for A level (Advanced Level) university entrance exams.
Most subjects are available for IGCSE examination.
Upon parental request, lessons in various native languages may be arranged.
IGCSE examinations are taken by students at the end of Year 11 (age 16), given that their English is of a sufficient level to cope with the demands of the exam syllabus. Students in Years 12 and 13 take AS and A2 level examinations (Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced Level), which qualify them for University entrance.
BISC Łódż therefore offers an outstanding and complete education for children aged 3 to 18.
