OUR A-LEVEL COURSES

One of the top performing A-level schools in England, OIC offers two A-level programmes: an 18-month course and a traditional two-year pathway. Both provide an entirely personalised journey for each student – from the first advisor meeting to the final university destination.

Our A-level curriculum is academically rigorous, challenging, and packed with innovative learning experiences. This is enhanced by a higher education-inspired model of teaching, group lessons, and one-to-one tutorials.
