Science

From Year 7 onwards, the sciences are taught as separate disciplines by subject specialist teachers.

We offer two Science courses at IGCSE, both of which provide an appropriate foundation for A level and International Baccalaureate programmes. Our Double Award Science IGCSE covers all the key concepts and allows ample time for consolidation, while our Triple Award course, leading to separate IGCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, is more suited to those who can assimilate new ideas at a faster pace.
