About BIST Secondary Section

For children aged 11–18 years old

The BIST Secondary School is a vibrant place of learning where students aged 11–18 are encouraged to be ambitious, thoughtful and globally minded. We are proud of the excellent academic outcomes achieved by our students, and equally proud of the character, confidence and curiosity they develop.

Our British-style curriculum is broad, balanced and internationally focused — giving students a strong academic foundation while encouraging independence, creativity and critical thinking. In the lower years, students build confidence across a wide range of subjects before moving into carefully guided IGCSE and post-16 pathways.
