Cambridge IGCSE, AS, and A-levels
What is Cambridge IGCSE?
Why A-Levels at AIS?
A1 takes place in Year 11 where students choose 3 subjects and take exams in each subject at the end to attain an AS-level. (AS levels equate to half an A-level)
Arts Stream | Engineering Stream | Commerce Stream | Science Stream | Own Stream |
---|---|---|---|---|
English | Mathematics | Mathematics | Biology | Global Perspectives |
Geography | Physics | Accounting | Geography | |
History | Chemistry | Economics | Physics | |
Global Perspectives | Geography | Global Perspectives | Chemistry | |
Global Perspectives | Mathematics | |||
Global Perspectives |
A2 allows students to continue with the same subjects at A-level and sit the final papers at the end of Y12 to acquire the full A-level.
In A2 some students might choose to switch to a different subject and take it at AS-level. 2 AS-levels in two different subjects count as an A-level. At AIS all students study AS-level in Global Perspectives at Y11 as global citizenship sits at the heart of our school.
The Cambridge A-level pathway is examination-based, meaning that students study fewer subjects than students doing SACE or IB. There is little or no coursework meaning that students have fewer assignments and more time to study or enjoy co-curricular or out-of-school interests.
The A-level pathway is suitable for students who perform well in examinations. Our AIS staff are skilled in directing you.
