Students in the early years and primary sections follow the English National Curriculum suitably modified for international students. They also study two additional languages, Myanmar and Mandarin. Our Early Years and Key Stage 1 classes seek to develop the students' language by using Jolly Phonics. The Oxford Reading Tree and Pie Corbett storytelling are also widely used in the primary section.

Students in Years 7-9 follow the English National Curriculum suitably modified for international students. They also study two additional languages, Myanmar and Mandarin.

Students in Years 10 and 11 can follow IGCSE courses, or ASDAN courses, or a combination of both. AS and A2 courses are offered to students in Years 12 and 13 along with ASDAN courses.
