They have nearly 500-1000 employees in this very school. Bina Bangsa School is an authorized Cambridge International Examinations Center. Students attempt the Cambridge IGCSE examinations during

Secondary 4 (Grade 10) before attempting the Cambridge GCE A-Level examinations in Junior College
2 (Grade 12). The A-Level examinations follow Option 3 of the assessment options, but students have the option of doing retakes during the following year's May/June session and work on them together with the A2 Level examinations if they wish to. The school follows a Singaporean-style curriculum.

The education program in BBS includes Grade 1 to Grade 12. The grades are divided into three groups: primary school level (abbreviated Primary or P; e.g. P5 for Grade 5) which consists of P1 up to P6, secondary school level (abbreviated Secondary or Sec; e.g. Sec 4 for Grade 10) that consists of Sec 1 up to Sec 4 and Junior College level (abbreviated JC; e.g. JC2 for Grade 12) which consists of JC1 and JC2 only. Both the Secondary school and Junior College levels are often combined into the Secondary level and are internally referred to as SJC.
