BISJ Leads the Way - and You're Invited

Date: Sunday, 30 November 2025
Time: 5:00pm – 8:00pm
Venue: Russ Law Hall, BISJ

BISJ warmly invites all Jeddah families—whether you are already part of our community or exploring Sixth Form options for the first time - to join us for a dedicated Post-16 Information Evening.

This event is designed to help students currently in Year 11 (or equivalent) understand the full range of pathways available to them at BISJ, now that we offer three of the world’s leading post-16 qualifications:

• International Baccalaureate (IB)

A globally recognised, academically rigorous programme that develops independent thinkers and learners.

• A Level

A highly focused qualification offering depth in chosen subjects, ideal for students with a clear academic direction.

• BTEC (Business & Technology Education Council)

A practical, career-focused qualification suited to students who thrive through coursework, real-world learning, and applied skills.

What to Expect at the Event

• Welcome from School Leadership
  Meet our Director, Helen Olds, and Head of Secondary, Michael Holiday, as they outline BISJ’s expanded Sixth Form vision.

• Pathway Presentations
  Learn about the structure, requirements, workload, and university outcomes of each qualification.

• Subject Information Booths
  Speak directly with subject specialists to explore course content, assessment, and progression routes.

• University Guidance Team
  Our guidance counsellors will be available to explain how each pathway supports admissions into UK, US, European, and global universities.

• Student Voices
  Hear from current Sixth Form students about their experiences across IB, A Level, and BTEC.

• Campus Tours
  Explore our Secondary facilities and see where teaching and learning take place.

Who Should Attend?

• BISJ families with children entering Sixth Form in 2026

• Families from ANY school in Jeddah seeking the right post-16 pathway

• Students and parents looking for clarity around university preparation

• Anyone wishing to understand BISJ’s new three-pathway model

Why Attend?

With BISJ becoming the first school in Jeddah to offer IB, A Level, and BTEC, this evening is a valuable opportunity to compare the pathways, understand which suits your child best, and ask personalised questions.

Whether your child is academic, practical, or a blend of both, this event will help you make an informed decision about their next steps.
