The A- level Program is ideal for students with an excellent level of English and good academic grades who have not yet completed high school in their home country.

Why study A-levels?

A-levels are the qualifications taken by students in UK during their final years at school, usually between the ages of 16 and 19 years. A-levels, as well as validated University Foundation programs, are widely accepted for entry into UK universities. This program is ideal for students who have not yet finished their high school and are therefore not eligible for our Foundation Certificate program.

The UK Education System

British secondary students complete their compulsory education in the UK at age 16, after which they may legally leave school to enter the workforce or pursue training programs at technical and vocational schools, most continue studying for two more years to prepare for university entrance exams, called "A-levels" (Advanced levels). International students often enter the education system at this point, taking an A-level course in preparation for higher education in the UK.

Who Attends A-Level Program?

This program is ideal for international students aged 16 and above who have either not yet completed high school in their home country or who wish to attend a competitive university (such as Cambridge, Oxford, Nottingham, Bristol, or the London School of Economics). Most top-ranked universities in the UK will not accept international students onto a bachelor degree program (BA) without evidence of superior A-Level grades.

How do A-levels works?

Typically, a university-bound student prepares for A-level exams in three or four subjects. Students are advised to choose subjects that will help their future career and / or university application. Depending upon the subject, some subjects take into account the work you do throughout the year, while others are assessed entirely by examination. Examinations are independently marked and graded. A-levels grades range from A (the highest) to E.

Constant support and care

Each student is assigned a personal tutor whose role is to monitor student's academic progress, university applications and general welfare. Personal tutors meet with students twice a day briefly and also have longer structured sessions together to discuss classes and homework, applications and reports.

Parents are encouraged to maintain regular contract with personal tutors and all parents and guardians are invited to an open day every spring. Regular progress reports are provided to parents throughout the year.

University preparation and advice

Our centers have a wide network of contacts with prestigious universities. Each student is assigned a university placement advisor upon arrival. fromthe very start of the course students will receive regular university application briefings and will take part in a variety of visits to university campuses to thoroughly research the extensive range of degree courses available.

Detailed application support

The UK university application process is administered by a central body called UCAS. Detailed advice on the UCAS process will be provided to all students. University applications will be submitted during the autumn of the second year of their course using our centers on-line facilities. Students will receive mock interviews to prepare for university selections. Candidates for Medical, Dental, Veterinary, Law and Oxbridge (Oxford and CambridgeUniversity) places will receive specialist advice.

Our centers can make also arrangements for A-level preparation courses in modern languages such as French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Italian and Russian, if there is sufficient demand.
