Sousse International School

Academics

A British education in five key stages, from the first years through IGCSE and A-Level.

Primary · Key Stages 1 and 2

Years 1–6 (the Tunisian and American equivalents of kindergarten through Grade 5). The programme builds a strong foundation in maths, English, science, and the humanities.

Key Stage 3

Years 7–9. We deepen the core subjects and give dedicated project time so students can follow their own interests, independence, and confidence.

Key Stages 4 and 5

Years 10–13. Students follow a supervised IGCSE and A-Level programme with specialist teachers. They need their own laptop. Exams are taken at the British Council in Tunis; the school will arrange transport if necessary.
