NEW: we can confirm that we will open a Language A German course for 2021-22 school year.
The school is committed to offering a broad curriculum up to the age of 18/19 for all our students with compulsory study of English, mathematics, science, languages and humanities.
Our bilingual model, unique in the region, offers students the scope to explore advanced language learning and studying subjects through other languages but is also accessible to students with a good GCSE in French, German or Spanish.
Please get in touch with us via the contact form below if you would like to discuss studying with us next academic year.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Students will be able to enter the IB programme provided that:
- They show a strong academic potential through their Year 11 exams or GCSE equivalents, with a minimum entry requirement of at least five Grades 5 to 9 or equivalent, including Mathematics and English Language. Grade 7 required for the Higher Level courses.
- They have been promoted from Year 11 to Year 12 or from an equivalent year group in another country

*Should we have sufficient interest to offer another language in group A or B (e.g. Polish or Italian), we would be happy to look into it, so please don’t hesitate to contact us to register your interest. At any rate, Polish and Italian are available as a self-taught language A Standard level group. For other languages – please get in touch.
TESTS
There will be a number of entry tests. These tests are to make sure that the student can follow the curriculum and achieve the IB. These tests are explicitly not aimed at discouraging students from applying. Students should not have to prepare for these tests, other than being rested and ready to sit them. This year, they will be taken from home, supervised via a google meet.
