AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR EYFS CURRICULUM

At The British School Yangon, Myanmar, our preschool children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. Our early years programme will prepare your child for primary school, developing the formative knowledge and skills they need to make fantastic personal and academic progress.

In our international school learning environment, your child will work towards the EYFS seven areas of learning.   

The seven areas:
  • Communication and language.
  • Physical development.
  • Personal, social, and emotional development.
  • Literacy.
  • Mathematics.
  • Understanding the world.
  • Expressive arts and design.
