OUR GCSE PROGRAMME

Our fast-track, one-year GCSE programme prepares students for the academic rigour of A-levels. Learners study up to seven subjects. This includes five core GCSE subjects – English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics – as well as a choice of two supplementary subjects: Additional Maths, Computer Science, Business Studies, Psychology or a native language (such as Chinese). Our students also explore potential career pathways through our Supercurricular programme, which opens doors to professional experiences and qualifications while nurturing key lifelong competencies.

Throughout the curriculum, our GCSE students build their skills in critical thinking, public speaking and independent research, paving the way to higher education success.

OUR A-LEVEL PROGRAMMES

We offer two A-level options: an 18-month pathway, starting in January, and a traditional two-year course. Every student follows their own Global Strategic Pathway – a tailored academic, personal and career-focused programme based on each learner’s talents, interests and aspirations. Guided by a team of tutors and mentors, learners choose three or four subjects that align with their higher education goals and desired country of study. Our university-inspired model of teaching features group lessons and one-to-one tutorials. Beyond the classroom, our students follow a journey of personal and career development through experiences that build key skills and enhance their university admissions portfolio. With outstanding A-level results, our students go on to study at the world’s most prestigious universities and competitive degree programmes.

In 2024, more than half of our graduates secured places at one of the UK’s top 5 universities, while 84% gained places in Russell Group universities.
