Sixth Form Pathways:
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.
