International Programme

The International Programme provides students with a full-time program of study with international teachers, following the optimal pathway of the Cambridge International A Level Programme.

Graduates from the International Program will have a competitive advantage in securing scholarships at top universities worldwide. They will be equipped with knowledge from top-tier, comprehensive training programs, develop personal and professional skills, and be well-prepared for success in higher education and beyond.

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

Progress tests assess students' abilities in key areas and measure their progress over time. They are age-appropriate and include questions reflecting real-world contexts and problem-solving skills. The tests cover a wide range of topics and concepts, and include both multiple-choice and open-ended questions.

Checkpoint exams are also administered to three core subjects:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science

These tests are designed to assess students' knowledge, skills, and understanding of topics within the Cambridge Programme.
