Chantemerle is a registered Cambridge International School and proposes the Cambridge curriculum to students ages 11 to 18. The curriculum is based upon the UK National Curriculum and is taught in English. The programme is also adapted for those international students whose first language is not English.
In three stages, the pathway prepares international students for the official IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) and A Level (Advanced) qualifications. Cambridge IGCSE / A levels are the world’s most popular international qualifications and recognized internationally. For those considering US universities, the American equivalent for A Levels are the AP examinations.
Students can also join this pathway for one semester or one year as part of our English immersion programme and prepare for official qualifications (one-year IGCSE preparation) or language certifications in English (Cambridge).
Stage 1 of this programme is well suited for young international students who wish to improve their English, while following a traditional programme of academic subjects :
The upper secondary stage covers a minimum of 6 examinable subjects and can be completed in one or two years:
Students who interrupt their studies to spend one year abroad must ensure that their year will be recognized by their school. Chantemerle offers the opportunity to follow the Cambridge International curriculum and prepare for the IGCSE qualification in one year.
Why choose the IGCSE One-Year preparation at Chantemerle ?
Cambridge Advanced is a two-year programme, typically for students aged 16 to 19 years who prepare for university.
To be admitted to the Swiss Universities, students must receive a minimum of two Bs and a C on their three A-level exams, one of which must be mathematics or another natural sciences subject.
