A-Level program in Downe House School

About the educational program: To complete the school education, students take exams for 3-4 disciplines (Pre-U or A-level programs). Pre-U, developed by Cambridge experts, according to the teachers of the school is a full-fledged and promising alternative to the A-level. Exams are seldom, that is, the students have time to more fully and qualitatively learn the material, on the other hand, the A-level advantageously differs in compulsory writing of its own research project and the course "Global Perspectives". Such additions to the main program not only deepen knowledge, but also help to better prepare for further university studies.
