British Division

THE BRITISH PATHWAY

EYFS Through Key Stages to IGCSE

Draft — for school sign-off (division is new; no old-site text)

The British Division follows the English National Curriculum framework — from the Early Years Foundation Stage through the Key Stages to IGCSE. Stanford operates as a registered Cambridge International school, an approved Pearson Edexcel centre and an Oxford AQA school, in partnership with the British Council — giving families flexibility in exam boards and subject choices.

British Division students share the whole-school Stanford experience: the French and German language programs, Arts and Technology enrichment, science and computer labs, the full Extra Curricular program and athletics — with the same individualized attention that defines every Stanford classroom.
