The International British Academy (IBA) provides high quality British education to children of all nationalities between the ages of 3 and 16. The school follows a modified programme of studies based on the National Curriculum of England and Wales to take into account Philippine culture and the national language. Students take the yearly Key Stage tests which enables the school to benchmark student's performance against those of students in other British schools worldwide. The school believes that while striving for academic excellence, it is crucial to bring out what is best in each child. The competent, experienced and caring members of staff guide students to develop their full intellectual, creative and physical potential, with the goals of fostering self-esteem, independence, intellectual curiosity and moral character. The maximum number of students per class is 25. From Nursery to Year 6, in addition to the Form teacher, fulltime specialist teachers instruct and guide children in the areas of Design & Technology, Music, Art, Information & Communication Technology and Physical Education. Up to Year 3, all classes will have an assistant teacher. All classrooms are fully-airconditioned making the environment conducive to learning. Technology is widely used in all classes and a dedicated ICT laboratory, multi-media devices and internet connection are in place. An exciting current initiative is the introduction of SMART boards to enhance teaching and learning.
