The Journey
Your child’s journey at EISB
One journey, four stages—supporting every step from first steps to graduation.
Ages 3–6
Early years
Pre-School (Pre-School 3 and Pre-School 4, ages 3 to 4) leads into Year 1 (ages 5 to 6), together forming our Early Years stage. This isn’t simply preparation for what comes next, it’s learning in its own right. Play is how young children learn best, and it’s the foundation of the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP).

Understanding the IB
IB stands for International Baccalaureate, a curriculum used in thousands of schools worldwide. Rather than teaching toward one national exam, it’s built around how students think: asking good questions, working across subjects, and taking real ownership of their own learning. Universities recognize it because it prepares students to think for themselves, not just to memorize.
Its three programmes run alongside our own four school stages, not on exactly the same lines, so here’s how they line up:
Early Years · Primary
Primary Years Programme
Runs through Early Years and Primary School. The focus is on curiosity and the foundations of independent thinking.
Middle · Early High
Middle Year Programme
Runs through Middle School into the first years of High School. Students connect what they learn to real-world issues and take more ownership of their work.
Final 2 years · High School
Diploma Programme
The final two years of High School. A demanding, internationally recognized qualification that universities know and trust.
