With a wide range of subject options to choose from, students can tailor their studies to their interests and aspirations, while gaining valuable knowledge and skills that will benefit them for years to come.

Subject Selection

Students choose a combination of subjects in line with their interests and the Guidance Counselor ensures there is a strong correlation between interests, A’ Level studies, and University Admissions. Each student tailors a course of study unique to their academic interests with knowledge of equivalence requirements made available to parents at the time of subject selection. It is advised to take certain subject combinations based on the chosen field of study at A’ Level, and at Higher Education institutions.
