Grade Level Comparison
BIS assigns students to grades based on their age on 31st August, the year they apply to the school. Grades in the US, UK and Indian systems of education differ for any given age. To prevent confusion that can stem from this difference, we have provided a chart comparing the grades, based on the age of the student:
| School levels | Student's age | BIS grade | US grade | UK grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | 3-4 | Nursery | Nursery | Nursery |
| 4-5 | Lower KG (LKG) | PYP Pre-KG | Reception | |
| 5-6 | Upper KG (UKG) | PYP KG | Year 1 | |
