The 5-Term (18 Month) A-Level Course begins in January of the Lower Sixth Year. Thanks to extra tuition hours, students finish the first half of each A-Level subject within their first two terms. This allows them to complete the last academic year at a normal pace during the remaining three terms. They then take their final A-Level exams in June, alongside students in the standard 2-Year (6-term) A-Level program.
Our teachers have helped many students achieve top grades, allowing them to receive offers to prestigious universities and courses. Lessons are taught in small group sizes, which allows classes to be tailored to the individual students’ understanding, and means students are more engaged in their learning. Regular assessments are also key to our curriculum, allowing the progress of each student to be carefully monitored. Furthermore, many of our teachers are also A-Level examiners, ensuring students learn essential content and master exam techniques.
Students study three A-Level subjects over five Terms. The 5 Term A-Level course starts in January of Year 12 and students sit their final A-Level examinations at the end of the following academic year. Students have the flexibility to choose any combination of A-Level subjects offered.
The programme itself is intensive with the academic structure as follows:
A significant advantage of this program is that students can continue their education without a nine-month delay.
