As a leading provider of British-style education in Shanghai for 20 years, BISS is proud to be offering an A level programme which runs alongside the IB Diploma Programme. This allows students to specialise in subjects which relate directly to their chosen career paths, their academic strengths and their interests.
A levels at the British International School Shanghai offer students a highly regarded and flexible pathway that allows them to specialise in subjects they are passionate about and excel in areas of strength. Recognised by leading universities worldwide, A levels provide academic rigour, depth of study and clear preparation for higher education, particularly for students with specific career ambitions. Through expert teaching, small class sizes and personalised support, students develop strong subject knowledge, independent learning skills and confidence, ensuring they are well prepared for university study and beyond.
Students taking A levels can choose between Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and Chinese.
In order to develop their English skills and to meet the requirements for university entry, students are also able to choose an IB English course alongside their A levels.
The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) allows students to develop research skills which will benefit them as they prepare for Higher Education.
Choosing the A level programme for your child means selecting a pathway that combines academic depth with flexibility and focus. A levels are ideal for students who thrive when they can concentrate on a smaller number of subjects, allowing them to develop expertise, strong study habits and a clear academic profile for university applications. At the British International School Shanghai, the A level programme is delivered by experienced subject specialists who know their students well and provide tailored guidance, helping each child achieve their full potential while building the independence, resilience and confidence needed for future success.
At BISS Puxi we offer a personalised learning journey throughout your child’s education. This way they can learn in a way that suits them to succeed academically, while discovering how they can make a difference in the world outside the classroom.
