English Language Immersion
1 term to one full academic year for students ages 12-16
Cambridge International pathway – A Broad and Balanced Curriculum in English
Is your child bilingual with a B1 level in English? Why not offer him/her the opportunity to follow the internationally recognized Cambridge Pathway. The programme is based on the UK national curriculum that is tailored to a more internationally orientated group of students.
Programme entry is possible at the lower secondary level (ages 12-14), the upper secondary level (ages 14-16) or the A level.
A student can choose to prepare and sit the IGCSE qualification, the most popular international qualification in the world for 14-16 year olds. It is suitable for learners whose first language is not English. It provides both clear evidence of a bilingual education and excellent language skills. Whether your child chooses to continue their studies towards the IB Diploma or A levels, we believe that the Cambridge International pathway is the ideal springboard for advanced study in English.
