CURRICULUM

The S1-6 Curriculum is split into 2 phases. From S1-3 learners follow the Broad General Education (BGE). In the BGE our courses are structured around the experiences and outcomes in both the Social Studies and Technologies Curricular Areas at Levels 3&4.

In S4-6 learners move into the Senior Phase where they work towards National Qualifications in Accounting, Administration and IT and Business Management. We also offer the National Progression Award in Business with Information Technology and Business and Marketing. Find out more here: Business Education Options Booklet
