IGCSE PROGRAM

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is the

globally recognized qualification for students aged 14 to 16, especially those

who wish to begin their education abroad early. This program provides excel-

lent preparation for A-Levels, IB Diploma, and other pathways to university.

IB DIPLOMA

The International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) is a globally recognized qual-

ification that prepares students for university during their final two years

of secondary school. The IB curriculum includes six subjects and three core

requirements, and culminates in a final examination.

A-LEVEL PROGRAM

A-Level exam results are a standard entry requirement for universities in the

United Kingdom and some of the top institutions in the world. It ensures that

students in their final two years of secondary school will achieve the best

exam results in subjects such as science, math and economics.

HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA

This innovative immersion program offers a traditional American high school

education, including a wide variety of academic subjects, sports, service

opportunities and extracurricular activities. Students follow the IB Diploma

scheme, but have more flexibility of subjects.
