Aligning Learning with Key Assessments

TGBS follows a UK calendar structure to synchronize our curriculum and assessments with UK standards, including end-of-primary assessments, IGCSEs, and A Levels. Our academic year runs from September to July.

We recognize the challenge of balancing school schedules with family and work obligations, so we’ve structured our calendar to offer flexibility and consistency in learning.

  • Flexible Learning Across Time Zones

    TGBS’ digital learning model supports live lessons across seven time zones, so students can access classes from multiple locations within these regions.

  • Lesson Library Access

    Our Lesson Library enables students to catch up on missed lessons, ensuring uninterrupted learning in cases of travel or emergencies.

  • Balanced Calendar

    With 39 teaching weeks and two independent study weeks, TGBS’ schedule aligns with UK school holidays, including Christmas and Easter, ensuring a well-paced academic year.
