IG (IGCSE)
IG (IGCSE)
IGCSE levelFocuses on the subjects that matter most for strong IGCSE results, all taught and examined in English. Students take only the subjects relevant to their goals, a single subject or several together, building their academic English as they go.
Subjects offered
English Language & Literature
Students develop their reading, writing and literary analysis side by side, handling more demanding texts and writing with growing precision and range.
Economics
Students explore how markets, money and incentives shape the world, learning to read real data and put economic reasoning into clear, well-argued English.
History
Students examine major events and weigh up original sources, then argue their own interpretation in structured essays, becoming more fluent and precise writers as they go.
Geography
Students study both the human and physical world, interpreting maps and data and learning to explain patterns and processes clearly in written English.
Business
Students get to grips with how businesses work and make decisions, learning to read case studies and present their analysis in clear, professional English.
Mathematics
Students cover the core areas of IGCSE mathematics in a structured way, learning to read problems carefully and set out their reasoning clearly in English.
Biology
Students study living systems from cells to ecosystems through practical investigation, building the technical vocabulary to describe and explain biology in English.
Chemistry
Students explore the properties and reactions of matter through experiment, learning to record results accurately and explain them in clear scientific English.
Physics
From forces and motion to energy and electricity, students investigate how the physical world works through experiment, picking up the vocabulary to explain their findings clearly in English.
IAL
IAL
International A-Level (IAL)Students concentrate on the subjects most relevant to their university applications, taught entirely in English. Every subject is led by a specialist instructor in small groups, with one-to-one university mentoring from our Oxbridge-graduate instructors.
Subjects offered
English (Core)
Students sharpen advanced reading and academic writing, handling sophisticated texts and developing the range of vocabulary expected at university.
Economics
Students analyse micro and macroeconomics in depth, reading widely and building the critical thinking and academic English to argue a case with evidence.
Mathematics
Students advance into pure mathematics, statistics and mechanics for university study, learning to follow complex reasoning and communicate solutions clearly in English.
Further Mathematics
For the most able mathematicians, this takes the subject further, demanding precise reasoning and the confident, exact use of mathematical English.
Physics
Students study classical and modern physics in depth, with practical work throughout, learning to explain demanding concepts in precise scientific English.
Biology
Students study biology in depth, from molecules to ecosystems, learning to read research, interpret data and write up their findings in clear scientific English.
Chemistry
Students cover organic, inorganic and physical chemistry in depth, building the precision in language and reasoning to explain complex chemistry in English.
Pre-IG
Pre-IG
Foundation for IGCSEBuilds the foundation for the IG stage that follows. Students develop their English across a broad range of subjects, from English and Humanities to Latin, French and Computing, gaining the vocabulary and confidence to go on and learn every subject in English.
Subjects offered
English
Students strengthen their reading, writing and grammar in balance, steadily widening their vocabulary and finding their voice on the page.
Humanities
Students explore history, geography and how societies work, reading widely and learning to weigh ideas and express them clearly in English.
Latin
Students meet the roots that shaped so much of English, deepening their grasp of grammar and unlocking a noticeably wider English vocabulary along the way.
French
Students take their first steps in French, and in comparing the two languages they sharpen their understanding of how English grammar and vocabulary work too.
Computing
Students learn the basics of coding and computational thinking, reading and writing instructions precisely, which carries directly into clearer, more logical English.
Mathematics
Students build firm foundations in number, algebra and geometry, learning to follow instructions, explain their reasoning and pick up the language of mathematics in English.
Science
Students investigate biology, chemistry and physics through hands-on practical work, learning to describe what they observe and write it up clearly in English.
