Description : GCSE preparation in Rossall Boarding School

Quick overview: A two-year British course for pupils of 14-16 years, designed to receive incomplete secondary education and the certificate of the same name, the General Certificate of Secondary Education. The final exams are surrendered to 8-10 disciplines:

• Some of them are compulsory (for example, mathematics and English);
• Some are chosen by students themselves as electives.

This gives an opportunity to determine their interests and priorities before entering the A-level course, Choose a specialty and faculty for higher education.

Brief information: "Gold standard of British education": a two-year course of intensified, in-depth and complex pre-university preparation. The A-level certificate with high enough marks gives graduates the opportunity to enter even the most prestigious and rating universities without additional examinations and entrance tests.

The students complete the curriculum themselves:

• For the first year (AS-level) they study 4-5 subjects of choice;
• In the second year there are only 3-4, for which exams are taken.

Such academic concentration gives the opportunity to maximize knowledge of priority subjects and areas, to prepare for enrolling in the chosen faculty and specialty. Teachers and consultants help high school students to make a curriculum, choose exactly those subjects that will help enter the required faculty, form a positive impression at the university admission committee.

Brief information: Internationally recognized and well-known IB course is an excellent variant of pre-university training, designed for 2 academic years and for students of 16-18 years. Its advantage is that the IB certificate is accepted and highly rated around the world - which means that graduates are not limited in choosing a university for further education.

In total, 6 disciplines are independently chosen for studying on the IB program:

• 3 are studied at the standard level;
• 3 - on a more complex, advanced level.

Additionally, all students attend lessons in writing an extended academic essay, a general theory of knowledge (TOK) course, a CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) program.
