Our Curriculum
The Creative British School is a thriving British School located in the centre of Musaffah’s commercial area. A member of the PACE education group, CBS offers high quality education to over a thousand students aged 3.8 to 18. The curriculum is modelled on the English National Curriculum and IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams with The International Cambridge examination board.
The National curriculum of England is followed in Primary and ensures that all students receive the same high standards of education irrelevant of which class they are in. From grade 10, students study the IGCSE programme to complete their International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and sit their final International examinations at the end of grade 11.
The Curriculum is divided into five parts: Kindergarten (KG1 & KG2), Primary (Grades 1 to 6), Secondary (Grades 7 to 9), IGCSE (Grades 10 & 11) and A-Level (Which we do not offer at the moment).
