Curriculum Framework
At Bridge International School Systems, our curriculum is built on a seamless integration of international best practices and Ethiopian cultural heritage. We draw on globally recognized frameworks—such as inquiry-based learning and project-based methodologies—to foster critical thinking, creativity, and real-world application. Simultaneously, we infuse daily lessons with local history, language (Amharic), traditional arts, and ethical teachings, ensuring that students remain deeply connected to their roots even as they prepare for global citizenship.
- Our pedagogical approach emphasizes student-centered learning:
Assessment at Bridge is holistic and continuous. We balance traditional quizzes and exams with portfolios, presentations, and reflective journals to capture each student’s growth over time. Regular formative assessments guide personalized feedback, while summative projects and end-of-term showcases allow learners to demonstrate mastery in both academic content and character development. This dynamic framework guarantees not only academic excellence but also the cultivation of integrity, resilience, and lifelong curiosity.
