A reminder of why a student might want consider A-levels

1. A student might be doing really well academically and would want to improve their options for International study. In this case doing A-levels is highly recommended, if not essential.

2. A student might be doing well academically but they want to apply to a top South African university for a highly competitive course. A-levels will give them a distinct advantage.

3. A student might be very uncertain about what exactly they want to do after school. Using A-levels as an Academic Bridging year will give them time to mature and get certainty, while at the same time giving them a competitive advantage over other students.

4. A student might be concerned over their academic performance and the pressures of having to complete AS in Year 12 with D symbols and a combination of C symbols for IGCSE. Doing A-levels buys them time and more options for University exemption while doing fewer subjects. (You need 3 A-levels with an E symbol or a combination of IGCSE with 2 A-levels to also get University exemption.)

In all the scenarios above, we will build an individual two-year pathway for students starting next year. This will be done in consultation with students and parents who are interested.
