LEARNING OPTIONS
We understand that families have different logistical needs. That’s why the E&T Programme offers two participation formats. Both options provide the same curriculum and personalized support — families choose the mode that works best for their schedule and location:
Students attend classes daily from morning until early evening (typically 8:00–18:30), including academic subjects, electives, and extracurricular activities.
Ideal for students living farther away, this format includes boarding from Monday to Saturday, with full access to evening activities, mentoring sessions, and project work.
ACADEMIC TEAM
Our teaching team brings together the best of both worlds: current Island School teachers, experienced in delivering the IB MYP & DP curriculum, and specially invited subject experts from around the world, with strong academic backgrounds and proven experience in teaching advanced mathematics, physics, and IT
A shared mission unites this international team: to support students through a future-focused IB education and to inspire innovation, curiosity, and academic excellence every day in the classroom.
