This is a curriculum found in British International Schools and some Internaitonal Schools throughout the worId. <br><br> We follow the guidelines laid down in the  Curriculum guidelines for the Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, England and Wales). <br><br> In the early years the students are first introduced to the british international school curriculum and they prepare for the IGCSE Examinations in Grade 9, 10 and 11. In grades 12 and 13 students will be preparing for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.<br><br> The British School Curriculum was chosen because it has clearly defined series of academic objectives at every level, known as the Key Stages. At each Key Stage, students are assessed through external starndardised tests. The Key Stage Tests are maintained and developed by the  Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, England and Wales . These are not school-based assessments, and every school following the British National Curriculum give the same tests at each level. This ensures that wherever the students are schooling in the world, the standards will be comparable to the UK, where Government monitoring of the unified curriculum guarantees quality.<br> <!-- <b> British School System Key Stages and subjects taken</b><br><br> <br><br> </font> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3"> <tr> <td><td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Age</td></font> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Stage</td></font> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Year</td></font> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Tests</td></font> </tr> <tr> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> 3-4<br>4-5</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Foundation</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> </td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> </td></font> </tr> <tr> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> 5-6<br> 6-7</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Key Stage 1</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Year 1 <br> Year 2</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> National Tests and Tasks in <br> English and Maths</td></font> </tr> <tr> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> 7-8 <br> 8-9 <br> 9-10 <br> 10-11</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Key Stage 2</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Year 3 <br> Year 4 <br> Year 5 <br> Year 6 </td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> National Tests in English, Maths and Science </td></font> </tr> <tr> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> 11-12 <br> 12-13 <br> 13-14</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Key Stage 3</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Year 7 <br> Year 8 <br> Year 9</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> National Tests in English, Maths and Science</td></font> </tr> <tr> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> 14-15</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Key Stage 4</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Year 10</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Some children take GCSEs</td></font> </tr> <tr> <td><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> 15-16</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Key Stage 4</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Year 11</td></font> <td align="right"><font face ="verdana" size="2" color="#000000"> Most children take GCSEs, others take GNVQs, or other National Qualifications</td></font> </tr> <table> <right>Copyright 2003 QCA</right> --> <br> <b> Extra lessons (Nachhilfe-Unterricht)</b><br> Extra lessons will be available for students who need extra help to understand the different subjects. <br><br> <b><h4>Languages offered</h4></b> <b> English</b> <br> English is the language of instructions at Hessen International School and English is taught in all the classes.
