The curriculum is designed to help students become lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and responsible global citizens.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum is known around the world for its strong academic standards and student-centred approach. At Ascot, students learn through inquiry, creativity, collaboration, and real-world experiences. The school focuses not only on academic success but also on wellbeing, communication skills, and personal growth.
The IB approach encourages students to ask questions, solve problems, and connect their learning to everyday life. Students are taught to become independent learners who can think deeply and work confidently with others.
Ascot’s vision is to create “a school where everyone belongs,” with a strong focus on wellbeing, community, and meaningful learning experiences.
Ascot International School offers a complete IB pathway across all year levels. Students can continue their education within the same learning philosophy as they grow older, helping them feel supported and prepared for each new stage.

Ascot is a full four-programme IB World School.
The Early Years programme at Ascot is designed for young learners aged 2 to 5 years old. At this stage, children learn through play, exploration, creativity, and social interaction.
The school combines the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework with the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). This helps children develop communication, confidence, curiosity, and independence from a young age.
Teachers create a warm and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore and ask questions. Learning is hands-on and meaningful, helping children build strong foundations for future learning.
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) at Ascot International School supports students aged 5 to 11 years old. The programme encourages students to become active learners who can think independently and connect learning across different subjects.
Students explore real-world topics through inquiry-based learning. They learn literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, arts, and languages while developing important life skills such as communication, collaboration, and reflection.
The PYP also focuses on the development of the “whole child.” Students are encouraged to grow emotionally, socially, physically, and academically in a balanced way.
In the Secondary Years, students continue learning through inquiry, projects, and critical thinking. The programme helps students become more independent while preparing them for future academic challenges.
Ascot uses an inquiry-based learning approach inspired by the IB Middle Years philosophy while also following the National Curriculum for England and Cambridge IGCSE pathways in the upper secondary years.
Students are encouraged to investigate ideas, solve problems, and connect their learning to local and global issues. The school also places strong importance on wellbeing, belonging, and student voice.
The IB Diploma Programme is offered for students aged 16 to 19 in Years 12 and 13. The programme is internationally recognised and respected by universities around the world.
