The programme has been designed for students worldwide, including those whose first language is not English. It is designed to help learners develop the skills they need to succeed in their lower secondary education and progress to Upper Secondary, the next stage of learning.

With 6 subjects to choose from, including English, French, Mathematics and Science, our lower secondary programme provides a clear path for the next stage of education, as well as plenty of opportunities to develop creativity, expression and personal wellbeing in a variety of ways.

The program provides parents with a structured and reliable report on their children’s performance that is valid beyond the school. It also allows the school to ensure that students are adequately prepared for the requirements of upper secondary IGCSE courses.
