Nursery and Reception (Foundation Stage) children follow the Foundation Curriculum, based on the UK Early Learning Goals.

All children at the British School of Houston follow the National Curriculum for England up through Year 11 followed by the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13. This means they follow nationally agreed programmes of study in English, Mathematics, Science, Design & Technology (DT), Information & Communication Technology (ICT), History, Geography, Modern Foreign Languages, Art & Design, Music, Physical Education (PE) and Personal, Social & Health Education (PSHE).
