International curriculum

Our curriculum reflects the international nature of the school. Our primary curriculum is based on the International Primary Curriculum, while in the secondary curriculum students follow a programme leading to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education in Year 11 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma in Year 13.

The school is licensed to operate by the Directorate of Foreign Education of the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia, and is governed by a Board of Trustees. While the school is patronised by some diplomatic missions, notably the British, the school does not have any form of diplomatic status.

BISJ has many traditions, but my favorite is International Day, where all the cultures come together. It’s something I look forward to every year.” Hana, IB2

28 April 2025
To introduce the concept of migration, Year 6 students participated in a powerful simulation activity. They were told that a sudden disaster had struck their home and that they needed to evacuate immediately. With only three minutes to pack six essential items, the children experienced the urgency and uncertainty faced by people who are forced to leave everything behind. Their journey led them to a new, unfamiliar place where they were met with strict checks, paperwork, and unfair treatment — a reflection of the real challenges many migrants face when seeking safety in a new country. This immersive experience helped the students build empathy and a deeper understanding of the emotional and practical struggles faced by people who are displaced. #bisj #primaryschool #jeddah

FS2-2 has been learning about diversity and how we are all different but also the same. They gained an understanding about melanin, which gives us our hair, skin and even our eye colours. They understood that darker people have more melanin in their bodies while lighter people have less melanin. Not only do we have different skin colors, hair and eyes, but we have different personalities and interests. The children then drew a picture of their friends and spoke about why they like them. We are all the same, but different! How wonderful to be a part of such a diverse environment! #BISJ #FS2 #EarlyYears #Diversity #Jeddah #BritishSchool

BISJ Book Week was a page-turning adventure! We kicked things off with a colorful Primary Book Parade, followed by heartwarming story sessions where Secondary students read to their younger peers—building bonds and spreading the love of reading across grades. The “Little Book” store popped up with a fantastic selection of books for eager readers, and our very own young author, Aliyah, hosted her own inspiring book sale! Parents joined the fun too, cozying up in reading tents to share stories with the class. It was a week full of imagination, connection, and community spirit—book lovers of all ages united! #BISJ #BookWeek #Primary #Secondary #JeddahSchool #BritishSchool

To introduce the concept of migration, Year 6 students participated in a powerful simulation activity. They were told that a sudden disaster had struck their home and that they needed to evacuate immediately. With only three minutes to pack six essential items, the children experienced the urgency and uncertainty faced by people who are forced to leave everything behind. Their journey led them to a new, unfamiliar place where they were met with strict checks, paperwork, and unfair treatment — a reflection of the real challenges many migrants face when seeking safety in a new country. This immersive experience helped the students build empathy and a deeper understanding of the emotional and practical struggles faced by people who are displaced. #bisj #primaryschool #jeddah

FS2-2 has been learning about diversity and how we are all different but also the same. They gained an understanding about melanin, which gives us our hair, skin and even our eye colours. They understood that darker people have more melanin in their bodies while lighter people have less melanin. Not only do we have different skin colors, hair and eyes, but we have different personalities and interests. The children then drew a picture of their friends and spoke about why they like them. We are all the same, but different! How wonderful to be a part of such a diverse environment! #BISJ #FS2 #EarlyYears #Diversity #Jeddah #BritishSchool
