A Levels
International GCE A Levels are provided by University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), the world's largest provider of International qualifications for the age group 14–19 years old.
International A Level is a 'gold standard' qualification
- For over 50 years A Levels have been accepted for entry to universities and institutes of higher education around the world.
- A Levels are important to employers who often demand them as a condition of employment International A Levels incorporate the best of UK A Levels, but are designed to meet the needs of International students.
AS Levels
International GCE AS Level was first examined in 2001.
It represents the first half of an International A Level course.
International AS Levels bring flexibility to an International A Level programme by allowing students to:
- Follow a staged assessment route to International A Level by taking the International AS Level in one examination session and completing the final International A Level assessments at a subsequent session.
- Take the International AS Level as either a one or two year course instead of, or in addition to full International A Levels.
International AS Level has half the value of an International A Level and is accepted for entry to university courses across the world.
Developing Skills and Understanding
As students move into Grades 4-8 (Age 8+), the curriculum builds on the primary foundation. It provides a natural progression to help learners gain confidence in core subjects while preparing them for the rigors of Upper Secondary and IGCSEs.
A Strong Foundation for Lifelong Learning
Our Primary program (Age 5+) focuses on a broad and balanced curriculum. We offer 10+ subjects, including English, Mathematics, Science, Computer Science, Art & Design, and Social Studies. We use flexible assessment options to understand each child's potential and track their progress accurately.
A and AS Level courses
International A and AS Levels require guided learning time in class, the library or a resource centre.
All syllabuses require students to develop analytical skills and the ability to apply knowledge.
