At Beau Soleil, every student’s education is unique to them. Personalised to individual passions and ambitions, our globally respected academic programmes – which include the International Baccalaureate and Advanced Studies Diploma – engage, motivate, and inspire our learners to excel.
A Beau Soleil education is rich, diverse, and tailored to individual passions and ambitions. Our students excel in their chosen academic subjects, enjoy life-changing learning experiences beyond the classroom, and develop the skills and mindset they need to thrive.
At Beau Soleil, we tailor learning to the individual strengths, interests, and university and career aspirations of each student.
Our personalised approach to education is underpinned by globally respected curricula. In Grades 6 to 10, our students follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme. Our Grade 11 and 12 learners can choose to either study for their IB Diploma – which they can take in English, French, or a combination of the two – or the career-focused Advanced Studies Diploma Programme.
As well as being academically rigorous, our programmes are filled with character-building experiences, which develop international mindedness.
We’re committed to nurturing our students’ all-round growth, ensuring they develop the skills, attributes, and habits of mind they need to thrive – both now and after they graduate.
More than just teachers, our academic staff are truly passionate about their subject or specialism. In small class sizes – with a teacher-student ratio of 1 to 4 – they expertly adapt our programmes to individual needs and preferences, ensuring each student receives the right level of challenge and support. Our learners also benefit from ongoing guidance from a dedicated mentor and specialist advice from our University Counselling Team.
At Beau Soleil, our 11 to 16-year-olds follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP). The MYP is a challenging but highly rewarding curriculum that encourages students to make connections between their studies and real-world experiences. It provides an outstanding academic education, with learning taught through eight subject groups. The MYP also develops important attitudes, skills, and values.
At Beau Soleil, our 16 to 18-year-olds study for either the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and/or the more careers-focused Advanced Studies Diploma. Each Grade 11 and 12 student’s programme aligns with their interests, strengths, and university and career ambitions. Subjects and core programme elements are taught by specialist teachers, who also offer the expert support our learners need to manage the demands of their course.
