THE BEST POSSIBLE START TO YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION

Our reception children follow the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum at our international kindergarten in Bratislava. At this vital first stage in their education, we lay important developmental foundations, teaching the basics in English, maths, and science through planned, purposeful play activities.

There’s plenty of time for your child to express themselves, too, through music, games, and exploration at our nursery school in Slovakia. Our Forest School curriculum, for example, takes children on adventures into the great outdoors, including visits to local woods, farms, and zoos.

We also run a tailored after-school programme. From football, dance, and ballet to crafts and construction, our children pick up important skills and discover new talents.

NURTURING GROWTH AT OUR INTERNATIONAL KINDERGARTEN

MONITORING YOUR CHILD'S PROGRESS

Our teachers ensure that every child makes great progress through regular observations and by benchmarking their development against key EYFS milestones. These assessments also help us to understand your child’s preferred style of learning. Through personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) sessions and tutor time, we look after your child’s well-being, too.

A TYPICAL DAY AT BISB

At The British International School Bratislava, no two days are ever the same. That’s down to our personalised teaching, variety of learning experiences, and one-of-a-kind extra-curricular opportunities.

Circle time
Singing, playing games, sharing their news, and talking about what’s in store for the day – circle time is the best way to kickstart your child’s morning. It also helps to improve listening and language skills.

Forest School
It’s time for an adventure into the Dúbravka forest. Your child will become an explorer, discovering everything there is to know about animals and plants, building dens and toasting marshmallows.

The great outdoors
Our students love learning in the fresh air, getting tactile with water, sand and mud. Our outdoor kitchen is the ideal place for messy play, where children can concoct crazy potions and let their imaginations run wild.
