SBC subject teachers are at the heart of what we do, delivering high‑quality, inclusive lessons in a multicultural setting. They are instrumental in helping students become more confident and equipped with 21st‑century communication skills. Teachers promote a culture of respect and understanding and encourage our students to love learning through fun and engaging lessons. At SBC, teachers play a huge role in enriching our students’ experience, making their time with us truly unforgettable.

The Future Scientists Programme is a two‑week course for students eager to explore biology, chemistry, and physics through experiments, demonstrations, and guided research. Teachers guide students as they design investigations, collect and interpret data, and present their findings with clarity. The programme promotes critical thinking and examines new scientific developments and the ethical questions they raise. Students collaborate on group challenges that mirror real‑world scientific research, developing problem‑solving and teamwork skills. Through their guidance, teachers inspire students to deepen their scientific understanding and nurture the curiosity and skills needed to excel in science.
