Curriculum offered in Grades IX - X

The IGSCE Curriculum from Cambridge University is offered in grades IX and X when the students study 8-9 IGCSE subjects. Students are encouraged to take extended syllabi. They also frequently opt for the challenging accelerated Mathematics programme. The sciences are taught separately, so that the students may opt for two or three sciences in preparation for their IB or CBSE studies in grades XI and XII. Emphasis is placed upon giving students a broad foundation to keep choices open for their IB Diploma course selection and career choices.

The IGCSE programme is used internationally in over 157 countries. The IGCSE is an objective measurement of achievement that is well understood by universities worldwide. Students who have come from different educational backgrounds can gain acceptance at universities, but students with a broad array of IGCSE passes, particularly at grade C or above, have a selective advantage at the best universities and colleges.

IGCSEs are seen as robust proof that students can perform well in their further education, and the fact that every subject is externally

examined and any coursework moderated by well-trained professionals is a definitive proof of achievement. More information about the IGCSE may be obtained from the website www.cie.org.uk.
