High School
Assessments
Evaluation is a key component of the educational process at high school level, as assessments provide vital information regarding a student’s academic performance, so as to better track their progress in preparation for Cambridge examinations. This process allows for a comprehensive understanding of a student’s strengths and weaknesses in each subject area, so that teachers can formulate structured learning programmes which suit the needs of each student, thus providing individualised support and ensuring academic and personal development, that leads to a successful outcome at the end of each stage of learning.
In addition to the internal assessments, high school students also sit examinations during the Cambridge examination sessions each year.
Cambridge School of Constanta’s main session for Cambridge examinations at IGCSE, AS Level and A Level is in June each year. Students attend classes and work on subject material throughout the school year in preparation for these examinations. A November examination session is also available for students who wish to retake an examination from the previous June session, or should the subject require an earlier or later examination date. Students are always informed of the exam session they will be participating in, at the beginning of every school year.
