British School Bern

Our Curriculum

The school learning programme is based on the latest British and International curriculums. Lessons are given in English.

How is progress assessed?

  • Regular testing and continuous assessments are conducted.
  • Formal reports are made in the third term.
  • Teachers meet with parents twice a year in parent-teacher conferences, where both parents and teachers can gain a fuller picture of the student’s needs, and progress.
  • If there are any areas where the student is deemed needing extra support, such as EAL, the teacher will notify the parents and the administration so that this support can be put into place immediately.
  • Open door policy – parents can always request any additional meetings they deem necessary.

Our philosophy is that each student has a team of parents/guardians, teachers, and staff that are here to make sure they have every opportunity to succeed.
