Junior and middle school

Bloomfield Hall has two major targets: at the academic level, it prepares students for GCE 'O' level; at a cultural level, it is a liberal institution which encourages independent thought and critical enquiry among its pupils.

Given these aims, Bloomfield Hall has designed its own curriculum which gives weight to subjects in contact time and student assessment and promotion criteria.

Thus, English and Maths at this level are considered core subjects. They are allocated comparatively more periods per week and passing these two subjects is essential for promotion.

‘O’ level program

All students in Bloomfield Hall schools are prepared for the GCE 'O' level examinations. After completing 'O' level, students either continue on to 'A' level or join the local scheme at Intermediate (FA/FSc) level.

Choice of subjects

Keeping the above in mind, Bloomfield Hall offers the following subjects:

Options:

Students are allowed to select a maximum of nine subjects, including the compulsory ones.

'Increasing talent level' programme
