The Middle School Programme

As the students transit from childhood to adolescence, Middle School offers a caring, safe, and supportive environment which encourages the young teenager to tackle challenges in a culture of nurtured risk-taking. They are pushed beyond their comfort zones to build on their resilience, character and robust problem-solving skills.

The Middle School Programme at BBL School is structured to meet children’s varied intellectual and developmental needs. The curriculum builds on concepts and skills learnt in the Primary School. It ensures progression and continuity across various stages of learning in the School and incorporates continuous evaluation and review of children’s performance.
