At BST, we believe children deserves an education that nurtures a love of learning, celebrates individuality and inspires them to become confident, compassionate and ambitious citizens. Rooted in the English National Curriculum, our British education offer combines academic excellence with creativity, curiosity, problem solving and independent thinking, preparing children to thrive in an ever-changing world.
As an international school in Greece, we celebrate different cultures, languages and perspectives while helping our pupils remain proud of their own identity and heritage. Together, we are creating a caring and inclusive community where every child feels inspired to achieve their very best.
Our approach to learning
We recognise that every child learns differently and develops at their own pace. Our teachers provide the right balance of support and challenge, ensuring every pupil feels confident to take risks, embrace new ideas and achieve their full potential. We encourage children to be active participants in their learning through enquiry, discussion, collaboration and practical experiences.
Across the Prep School, learning is engaging, purposeful and interactive, with opportunities to explore through play, investigation and real-world experiences. By fostering curiosity, independence and a growth mindset, we inspire children to become resilient, reflective and enthusiastic lifelong learners.
Curriculum highlights
Our pupils benefit from specialist teaching that enhances and enriches the curriculum. Music and Physical Education (PE) are taught by dedicated specialist teachers, while Greek is taught by native-speaking teachers who foster both linguistic confidence and an appreciation of Greek culture.
Bilingual learning with a global outlook
Our curriculum combines the English National Curriculum with Greek culture and an international perspective. Through bilingual learning, children develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive in a global world while maintaining a strong sense of their own identity and heritage.
Learning beyond the classroom
Pupils enjoy a wide range of enriching experiences, including World Book Day, Science Week, Arts Week and International Day. Educational visits and expert visitors help bring learning to life, deepen understanding and inspire curiosity.
Supporting personal development
Personal development is at the heart of school life. Through PSHCE, assemblies and our Value of the Month programme, pupils build confidence, resilience and empathy, developing into respectful, compassionate and responsible global citizens.
The benefits of British school
The English National Curriculum is recognised and respected around the world for its high academic standards, broad subject coverage and clear progression from year to year. It develops strong foundations in literacy, mathematics, science and the wider curriculum, while encouraging creativity, critical thinking and independent learning.
At BST, we combine the very best of British education with an international outlook, helping children become confident, curious and compassionate individuals who are well prepared for the next stage of their education and for life in a global society.
