The Birlik Difference
Why Families Choose Us
Cambridge Curriculum
An internationally recognised English-medium education following the Cambridge Assessment International Education framework, taught alongside the nationally recognised ADP national curriculum — so our students are prepared for universities here in Mozambique and worldwide.
National Curriculum
Our National Curriculum provides a strong and well-rounded educational foundation, combining academic excellence with practical skills, creativity, critical thinking, and personal development. Students are supported to achieve their full potential while preparing for future studies and life beyond school.
Modern Facilities
Bright classrooms, science and computer laboratories, a library, and sports facilities give students the space to explore, create and grow.
Value Based-Education (VBE)
At Birlik International School, Value-Based Education (VBE) is at the heart of developing well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate individuals. Through meaningful experiences, students build respect, integrity, empathy, responsibility, confidence, and leadership. Our VBE programme extends beyond the classroom through sports, arts, clubs, the House System, teamwork, community service, and engaging guest lectures. We also value the involvement of our parents, who are invited to share their professional experiences, personal stories, and journeys of success with our students. These real-life interactions inspire students, broaden their perspectives, and help them understand the values, dedication, resilience, and choices that contribute to meaningful achievement.
Accreditation
Cambridge & the National Curriculum
Birlik International School delivers the Cambridge Assessment International Education curriculum — the world's largest provider of international education programmes and qualifications for 5 to 19 year-olds — alongside the nationally recognised ADP national curriculum.
That combination matters: our students graduate with qualifications that are respected by universities abroad and fully recognised here in Mozambique.
