PRIMARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Our British primary school curriculum will inspire your child to become a curious, confident, and courageous learner. They’ll think about topics from multiple perspectives and make meaningful connections across their subjects. Our students also develop core numeracy, literacy, and social skills, and enjoy exciting extracurricular activities.

THE ENGLISH NATIONAL CURRICULUM FOR PRIMARY

At The British School Yangon (BSY), our primary school students follow the English National Curriculum, which is adapted to our local context in Yangon, Myanmar.

Primary school at BSY is all about jumping into a vibrant learning environment that encourages curiosity and stimulates personal growth. Guided by our talented teachers, your child will quickly learn not only to value their academic achievements, but also to take a broader view of personal success – one that includes social purpose and global citizenship.

Our curriculum is enriched by many complementary experiences, tools, and resources, too.

A BROAD AND BALANCED CURRICULUM

Our primary curriculum centres on the core subjects of English, maths, and ICT, while also integrating themes across science, history, geography, art and design, and music. From Years 5 to 7, your child will follow a more defined timetable of subjects, learning from specialist teachers who will prepare them for secondary school.


As Myanmar’s leading international primary school, we also prioritise learning a second language. We’ll encourage your child to develop a high level of fluency, which brings many academic, personal, and cultural benefits. Every student also follows our physical education and PSHE curricula.
