What is the A Level programme?

The A-Level programme is a two year academic course typically studied in Years 12 and 13.

Students select three or four A-Level subjects, which allows them to focus deeply on the areas that match their academic strengths and future ambitions. This specialised structure is a key feature of the British education system and prepares students for university style learning.


A-Levels are widely recognised by universities in the UK, Europe, North America and globally. The programme encourages critical thinking, structured argument and intellectual maturity. Students learn to manage their time effectively and take responsibility for their own progress.
