High School
Curriculum
High School students follow the Cambridge Assessment International Education curriculum, obtaining the Cambridge International Certificate of Education (ICE) at the end of Grade 10 and the Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE), at the end of Grade 12.
The academic curriculum includes a variety of different subjects for students to choose from, making it flexible and easy to adapt to meet the needs of each student. This allows students to follow an educational path they are passionate about and which best suits their individual goals regarding university studies, as well as their career aspirations.
The high school curriculum is divided into two distinct stages.
Grade 9 and 10: Cambridge International Certificate of Education (ICE)
The first stage of study is completed over the course of two years, as Grade 9 and 10 students study towards the examination of IGCSE subjects and the completion of the Cambridge International Certificate of Education (ICE).
Students are required to pass a minimum of seven IGCSE subjects, selected from the five IGCSE curriculum areas. When selecting subjects, students are required to follow the ICE certificate guidelines, selecting two subjects from Group 1, one subject from Groups 2 – 5 and a seventh subject from any of the stipulated groups.

The second stage of the educational process is completed during Grade 11 and 12, as students are examined in select AS Level and A Level subjects and complete the Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE).
Advanced Level can be divided into Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and A2, with Grade 11 students studying towards the completion of subjects at AS Level, while grade 12 students continue with their selected subjects, to sit their A2 examinations and complete the subject at A Level.
Students are required to gain a minimum of seven credits across their accumulated AS and A Level studies, in order to be awarded the AICE Diploma. These seven credits must be obtained by following the diploma guidelines, selecting subjects from the designated subject groups, while also completing Cambridge AS Level Global Perspectives & Research, which is a compulsory requirement. Subjects must be selected in order to receive a minimum of one credit from groups 1, 2 and 3. The remaining credits can be gained via the selection of subjects from any group.
