IGCSE

Cambridge IGCSE Programme

The curriculum framework followed from grades 6 to 8 prepares our students for the IGCSE programme which is a two-year programme offered in Grade 9 and 10  (14 to 16-year-olds). In the two-year IGCSE programme, students study a range of subjects and develop their skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem-solving. The fundamental approach is to encourage learners to engage with a variety of subjects and make connections between them.

It is the perfect springboard for advanced study. The syllabi are international in outlook but retain a local relevance. They have been created specifically for an international student body and avoid cultural bias. Considering differing abilities, there is a choice between Core and Extended curriculum papers in some subjects. Each subject is certificated separately which allows schools and students to personalise their learning experience.
