Time-tested educational standards that open doors to the world's finest universities through IGCSEs and A Levels.
The British curriculum at LindenHurst Preparatory School provides a structured, rigorous Individualized Education Program pathway recognized by universities worldwide. Based on the English National Curriculum and Cambridge International standards, it offers clear progression from primary through secondary education.
Our approach emphasizes inquiry-based learning through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), where students are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, and discover knowledge through active engagement rather than passive memorization. We emphasize deep subject knowledge, analytical thinking, and independent research skills. Students develop expertise in their chosen subjects while maintaining breadth across core academic disciplines through active exploration and discovery.
The curriculum's international recognition means our students can pursue higher education anywhere in the world, with particularly strong pathways to UK, European, and Commonwealth universities. Our inquiry-based approach ensures students not only master content but develop the critical thinking and research skills essential for university success.

Our assessment system is designed to understand each child as an individual learner. It uses world renown adaptive tests that adjust as your child works, identifying strengths, gaps, and progress in reading, mathematics, and language arts with accuracy.
Instead of relying on occasional exams, learning is monitored continuously, allowing teachers to respond early and provide the right support at the right time. Parents and teachers can see clear evidence of progress through recognised measures, helping ensure no child is left behind and every learner is supported to grow with confidence and consistency.
The British curriculum uses internationally recognized grading systems:
Exact Path is an adaptive assessment used to assess attainment, identify gaps in learning, and support progress over time in mathematics, reading, and language arts. The diagnostic information enables teachers to adapt teaching effectively, ensuring work is well matched to pupils' starting points.
Ongoing assessment data supports timely intervention, challenge where appropriate, and clear monitoring of progress at pupil, class, and whole-school level.
WIDA (World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment) is an international framework that supports schools in teaching and assessing English language learners (ELLs). Our programme's instruction is aligned with WIDA standards, ensuring accessibility, equity, and measurable progress for learners who are developing proficiency in English.
WIDA provides standards, assessments, and guidance to help students develop academic English alongside subject learning, ensuring that English language learners receive targeted support to succeed academically while building their language skills.
