Dr. Seuss said that children want the same things adults want: to laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted. We all know that life is not only about having fun. However, studies have shown that learning through experimentation stands the test of time, unlike learning exclusively by memorisation. Moreover, regardless of how students prefer to learn, associations and connections with their passions make the learning process easier and more fun.
The Secondary School at the British School of Bucharest
While in the Primary Years of School, the teachers at the British School of Bucharest support learning through play and encourage pupils’ curiosity, in the Secondary Years students are assisted in discovering their interests and following their passions through the academic flexibility of the British educational system. Alongside this, they learn how to become disciplined and constant learners with a strong sense of knowledge acquisition and recall, as well as an instinct for inquiry and intellectual curiosity. Teachers help the students prepare for their academic future and work closely with them at a social, emotional, and personal development level, which is key to a happy and fulfilled life.
The British School of Bucharest provides a comprehensive British curriculum accompanied by a generous range of co-curricular activities, as well as trips and educational visits so that students can benefit from strong educational opportunities to help them in life through learning inside of and outside of the classroom.
The Secondary School is for children aged between 11 and 18 and consists of three stages:
- Key Stage 3 – Years 7, 8 and 9, for children aged 11-13;
- Key Stage 4 – Years 10 and 11, for children aged 14 -15;
- Key Stage 5/Sixth Form – Years 12 and 13, for pupils aged 16-17.
Upon enrolment for the new School Year starting in September, we will consider the age of the child on August 31st.

The Key Stage 3 years are vitally essential to lay the foundations both for solid general knowledge and for acquiring the knowledge which the students will need in the future. These are hard years with lots of important knowledge to be assimilated but our native English-speaking teachers make the lessons interesting and exciting for their students with theoretical, practical, and ‘real-life’ applications.
Lessons are interactive and challenging, extending students' understanding and their ability to develop critical thinking. The Curriculum includes core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, and Computer Science along with subjects such as World Religions, Music, Art, PSHCE, Design Technology, Drama, Physical Education, and Modern Foreign Languages like French, German, Mandarin, and Spanish.
