Description : Diploma + advanced placement in Brillantmont International School

GCSE is certificate of incomplete secondary education. The educational program allows students from all over the world to familiarize themselves with the education system in the UK in grades 8-9. The course, designed for 1-2 years, involves the study of basic and additional subjects that teenagers choose according to their preferences. Mathematics, academic English, and a foreign language are compulsory. To the choice of students of British schools such subjects are offered:

• Literature;
• Chemistry;
• Physics;
• Law;
• Economics;
• Biology;
• Accounting;
• Business discipline (more than 70 subjects).

To obtain the GCSE certificate, it is quite effective to study two compulsory and three to five additional disciplines.

Classes are held in classrooms and laboratories (depending on the disciplines chosen by the child). The main material is given in the lessons. There are also homework assignments, individual projects. Independent and group work is practiced. The progress of schoolchildren is determined during the entire period of study, since the quality of the performance of the tasks provided by the program, the test results, activity in the classroom affects its level. At the end of the course, the children take the national uniform examination, which entitles them to a GCSE certificate.

A-level is a program for students preparing for entering universities of Great Britain. The certificate, received at the end of the course, frees the entrant from passing additional entrance examinations. A-level is called the "gold standard" of British school education.

The program is taught in most colleges and schools in the country. Its structure, academic organization is the same for all educational institutions. The peculiarity of A-level is that the emphasis of teaching here is placed on the depth and intensity of the study of subjects, which are determined by the choice of the further sphere of the student's activity.

The program is designed for 2 years of study. In the first year students are invited to study at least 4 priority subjects. On the second - three. Students entering the A-level course are initially focused on a certain specialization. At the university, they will subsequently deepen their knowledge of the priority disciplines. When choosing items, it is recommended to pay attention to the academic balance. Some disciplines of the A-level course partially repeat each other. The high school program ensures successful entry into the world's leading universities.

A range of subjects are taken to meet the requirements of the American Programme, which is credit based. Students wishing to enter an American university are prepared for SAT examinations and English language tests, such as IELTS or TOEFL.
