The British Schools of America classroom is a unique learning space. World class teachers provide lessons that are tailored to the individual learning student needs. BSA's layering approach ensures that specific knowledge is targeted and continually re-emphasised. Small class size means that teachers and students have a close relationship, further strengthened by pastoral care. Finally, BSA’s curriculum, teachers and families combine to make all schools truly international.

Within the classroom, lessons begin with an outline of learning objective and the criteria by which students will know if they have been successful or not. Topics begin with a knowledge harvest and set questions to be answered which are revisited at end of topic to see if all questions have been answered. Lessons end with a discussion about learning that has just taken place and next lesson in subject begins with brief recap and link to current and future learning.
