1. What curricula do you offer?

We offer the IGCSE, A/AS Level, Cambridge, and Checkpoint Secondary exams.

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education is referred to as IGCSE. By the start of the ninth grade, pupils get a list of options for their disciplines. Each student selects a minimum of seven (7) and a maximum of nine (9) subjects, which results in formal, UK-based, internationally recognized qualifications at the conclusion of Grade 11.

Cambridge examiners mark checkpoint tests, which are external assessments. The purpose of checkpoint tests is to provide

  • a cumulative measure of performance at the end of the primary learning phase.
  • Analyzed test results to determine learner’s strengths and weaknesses.
  • Provide a statement of accomplishment for each learner.
