- Curriculum

Bujumbura International Montessori School (BIMS) is a private bilingual educational center dedicated to providing quality education for children of all nationalities residing in Bujumbura.

Crèche and Kindergarten sections are following the Montessori system giving young children a real voyage of discovery as they begin their important first steps in education.  Hands on learning is the key.

Primary and Secondary students follow the British Curriculum while honouring the Montessori Philosophy and will sit the external exams as prepared by the Edexcel Exam Board in years  11,12 and 13. Other classes are examined internally but within the Edexcel guidelines.

New children entering Secondary grades need to provide BIMS with the school report card from the previous school and if necessary the children will need to complete a grading test at BIMS before the child is accepted into the appropriate class.
