Early Childhood
We operate an Early Childhood centre, with EY 1, EY 2, and Kindergarten. EY 1 at SBB is for students who are 3-4 years of age, EY 2 who are 4 -5 years of age and Kindergarten 5-6 years of age. The program follows inquiry, play-based, and concept based approaches, and is also a part of the Primary Years Programme (PYP).
Primary Years Program (PYP)
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 3 – 12 nurtures and develops young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.
Through its inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework, the PYP challenges students to think for themselves and take responsibility for their learning as they explore local and global issues and opportunities in real-life contexts.
Middle Years Programme (MYP)
The IB Middle Years Program comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad and balanced education for early adolescents. The MYP requires at least 50 hours of teaching time for each subject group, in each year of the programme. In the final two years of the programme, carefully-defined subject group flexibility allows students to meet local requirements and personal learning goals.
High School Programme
We currently offer the K-13 and Merdeka Curriculum. Additionally, we are in the process of applying for accreditation to introduce the IB DP program.
