FAQ

Since the British international curriculum leads to an international high school qualification, these examinations are only set in english and all course material is also presented in english. However, even if english is not your first language, that should not prohibit you from doing this exceptional curriculum.

We provide extensive support to students whose first language is not english, to ensure that language is not a barrier to academic success.
