Programs of Learnings
Teaching Materials: Ready-to-use Curriculum
We focus on being able to integrate real-world, project based technology curriculum into all subject areas so that every student, no matter their interest, can develop the skills required for the future.
Our curriculum is divided into engaging, easy-to-follow modules that enable students to e.g. build a data collection app to gather live data from a basketball game to study in statistics or build a website about the history of ancient civilizations.
Our curriculum is also mapped to US, IB and British academic standards and can be implemented immediately with no prior experience – 76% of teachers using BSD online and BSD programs have no technology experience. Why? BSD’s training programs give instructors all the skills, knowledge and confidence they need.

Chris Geary
CEO of BSD Education
“BSD has allowed me to take programming to the next level in my classroom! In the past, I was intimidated to try text-based coding with students. With BSD’s help and their intuitive platform, I’m successfully teaching HTML, CSS, and Javascript to my grade 8 students.”
