The British curriculum at ISK
How students learn
ISK follows the National Curriculum of England and Pearson specifications, creating a continuous learning journey from the early years to internationally recognised qualifications.
Students build secure knowledge, learn to think independently and practise communicating with confidence. Teachers use clear learning goals, regular feedback and age-appropriate assessment to support progress.
A caring, play-rich start develops communication, curiosity, confidence and the early foundations for learning.
The National Curriculum of England develops secure knowledge in English, mathematics and science alongside computing, humanities, arts and physical education.
A broad programme deepens subject knowledge and independent thinking while preparing students for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE study.
Two years of focused subject study lead to externally assessed Pearson Edexcel International GCSE qualifications using the 9–1 grading scale.
Specialist subject pathways, academic guidance and personal support prepare students for higher education in Pakistan and universities worldwide.
