St Christopher's School is a non-profit making institution providing a British-style education to students aged 3 to 18 years. The school year is similar to that in the UK and includes a minimum of 180 days of teaching (classroom staff work up to ten days beyond this). Each section of the school is purpose-built for educational use and all classrooms are air-conditioned and well equipped. The Senior School campus includes a large sports hall, swimming pool, garden and recreational / physical education areas, as well as the normal range of specialist rooms and a drama hall. In recent years the Senior School has been enhanced with a large library, 6th Form areas, 11 science laboratories, 3 art rooms and a music suite with practice rooms.

The Junior School moved to a magnificent new building in 2005. Their new site includes specialist science laboratories, music rooms and rooms for Art, Design Technology, Information Technology, Arabic and French. There is also a full-size artificial turf playing field, a sports hall and landscaped gardens. In 2007 the Infant School moved to its own fantastic new facility, linked to the Junior buildings at the Saar site. Infants now have their own hall, Information Technology Labs, Music, Arabic and Learning Support rooms. Teachers are, in the great majority, British trained - other staff have equivalent qualifications from other countries. All Infant classes and most Junior classes have access to classroom assistants.

Our curriculum follows most of the usual aspects of the English National Curriculum at its own pace and with certain sensible modifications. Headteachers will be able to advise new staff on specific curricular and schemes of work. In addition, Arabic and Islamic religious education is provided for Arab and Muslim children respectively and the School also delivers a non-native Arabic programme from Year 1 to Year 6, with a time allocation of 2 hours per week introduced in 2014-15. In the Senior School, there is an option to continue this learning before school. Classes are generally limited to 24 pupils in the Primary Schools and 22 in the Senior School (although occasionally in KS3 numbers might reach 24) and the emphasis is on individual teaching. There is no streaming, although setting is a feature in the Senior School in some subjects.

GCSE and A-level courses follow UK specifications and a full-time Exams Officer is employed to do all entry, administration and follow-up work.

Since September 2008, we have offered a dual pathway at St Christopher’s. Students can choose to follow either the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme or an AS/A2 Level Programme. The IB Diploma Programme is a broad, balanced and rigorous programme, incorporating the best elements of pre-university systems worldwide.

Assessments undertaken currently include National Curriculum Tests at the end of KS1 and KS2. GCSE, A-levels and IB Diploma. Also used are Aspects and PIPS assessments; NFER tests; Rising Stars maths; MIDYIS; INCAS; Yellis, INSIGHT and ALIS assessments from the CEM Centre at the University of Durham, World Class Arena Tests and UK Maths Challenge.
