Description : A-Level program in Queen Anne's School

GCSE

A two-year course is designed for students aged 14-16, completing a part-time secondary education program and entitling them to receive a valuable GCSE certificate (General Certificate of Secondary Education).

The program includes both compulsory subjects (such as mathematics and English), and electives that the student can choose to his liking. Such an academic variety of the course makes it possible simultaneously to form a firm foundation of basic knowledge, and to prepare for the subsequent studying at the Sixth Form and at the university, to give maximum attention to the most priority disciplines and directions.

A-level

The golden standard of British education, the A-level program is designed for 2 academic years and is offered to students 16-18 years old: according to statistics, this is the most popular in the UK studying option in the graduating classes of Sixth Form.

The program is academically complex and intensive: subjects are studied thoroughly, in-depth, almost at the university level. The students choose  all subjects for personal curriculum on their own: for the first year (AS-level) is 4-5 disciplines, the second of which remains only 3-4. This option helps to focus on studying the most necessary, priority subjects: as a rule, at the stage of the Sixth Form, schoolchildren are already well aware of what faculty and specialty they plan to do. The A-level certificate is highly valued: it allows students to enter even the best, most elite and privileged universities without additional entrance examinations.

Subjects for the curriculum can be selected from the following extensive list:

• German

Each student at the A-level receives his mentor - one curator for 10 students. He is constantly in contact with his group, monitors the progress of students and helps with the solution of various situations, controls the process of preparing documents and submitting them to the university.
