Our Curriculum

The school is currently following two curricula, UK Pearson Edexcel International curriculum and the Somaliland National Curriculum. The Pharo Foundation Education Programme is dedicated to enhancing students’ achievement and implementing learning experiences that contribute to the future skills needed for higher education. The curriculum and pedagogy are designed to enhance students’ ability to engage with and find solutions to 21st century problems. This is achieved through the consistent focus on rigorous learning outcomes and the alignment of supporting pedagogy and assessment. We also have a favourable student teacher ratio of 13:1.
