UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL: KEY STAGE 4

IGCSE CURRICULUM

At Key Stage 4, our 14 to 16-year-olds study for their IGCSE exams. Our British curriculum for secondary schools is widely recognised as the gold standard of education for this age group, expertly preparing our learners for A-levels.

All our IGCSE students study English language, English literature, maths, and science. They also choose from a range of options, which include geography, history, ICT, computing, business studies, Spanish, German, Chinese, music, drama, art, graphic communication and PE.

In total, students typically study eight IGCSE subjects. This gives them plenty of time for enriching artistic, physical, and social responsibility activities.

UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL: SIXTH FORM

A-LEVEL CURRICULUM

In Years 12 and 13 at our upper secondary school in Nanjing, students delve deeper into their chosen subjects. As they prepare for university entrance – and start thinking about careers – they become specialists in their fields, typically studying three or four A-levels.

As they progress through our two-year A-level programme, we’ll guide your child through the process of choosing and applying for university. This includes suggesting areas for academic and personal development, identifying courses, and helping with application forms.

Follow your own path
No student’s day is the same. Why? Because everyone follows their passions, forging their own path to success. For some that means quantum physics in our science labs; for others creating sculptures in our art studios.
