English Schools Foundation (ESF Schools)

ESF schools follow a robust curriculum that fosters academic excellence, critical thinking, and
holistic development. For primary and secondary education, ESF schools offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, including the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and the IB Diploma Programme (DP). This internationally recognised curriculum is known for its rigorous academic standards and
emphasis on developing students’ intellectual, personal, emotional, and social skills.

For Years 12-13, ESF schools also provide personalised pathways that allow students to focus on creative projects and inquiries and reflect on their achievements. ESF schools currently provide Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) courses which are recognised by many universities worldwide. These courses can be studied alongside other subjects and provide a varied learning experience for students.

A number of ESF schools are also developing the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IB CP) to offer opportunities for those students who have a particular career path in mind. The IB CP allows students to specialise and dedicate themselves to a career path that they know they want to pursue. The IB CP encompasses some elements of the IB Diploma Programme within its structure. It also encompasses the IB’s educational philosophy and mission.
