An IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) is the international version of the Briish GCSE. The IGCSE is the world’s most commonly taken international examination.
We follow the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) syllabi in English, Arabic, ICT, Business Studies and all the Sciences. We offer Mathematics through the Edexcel curriculum.
Our students usually take between 5 to 7 subjects for IGCSE and have some choice over which subjects they study. We usually have an orientation meeting at the end of year 9 or beginning of year 10 to explain the IGCSE. The IGCSE is a two-year course taken during Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11), usually with the examination in June at the end of Year 11. Please note that once the choice is made, students will remain in that stream until the end of Year 11. At that point, students will sit for IGCSE external exams and can choose up to 7 subjects.
