Grade 9 is the beginning of the four-year cycle that leads to our external university entrance qualifications and graduation in Grade 12. In addition to preparing our Secondary students for a High School Diploma, our courses also prepare them for success in a wide range of internationally recognized standardized examinations, including the American-based Advanced Placement®, SAT, and TOEFL exams, as well as the British-based AS and A Level exams. This gives our students the opportunity to be admitted to top universities worldwide. In grades 10 and 11, students can also choose to take the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE).
