England’s curriculum through A levels

BISL follows the English National Curriculum from early years to Key Stage 5, with IGCSE and A-level qualifications in the upper years. Subjects other than foreign languages are taught in English. The homepage gives ages three to eighteen; another school page mentions age two, so families seeking the youngest provision should confirm current entry rules.

Specific needs and senior English requirements

Although the school describes itself as non-selective, it reviews whether it can meet a child’s special educational needs. Years 10 and above have English-language entry requirements because of examination demands. Discuss support, assessment and language readiness before applying, and request a written explanation of available provision and any additional charge.

Requesting a deposit refund and giving notice

The current terms require a Withdrawal Form and one term’s written notice, including for Year 13 graduates. Examples are 31 August for December departure, 31 December for March and 31 March for the end of the school year. Use the Withdrawal Form to request return of the €750 deposit and make the request within two months of departure; refunds depend on settled bills and proper notice. The deposit is forfeited if the place is never taken up or required notice is missing. Fees in lieu may also apply, subject to the terms’ exceptions.

Starting after a term has begun

The 2026/27 schedule charges the full term fee for entry within its first ten school days. After that, the published daily calculation is 0.7% of annual tuition for each school day remaining in that term. Absences do not create a refund. This rule is for late entry, not a basis for estimating a normal school-year total.
