Cambridge IGCSE is recognised by universities and institutes of higher education around the world and is equivalent in standard to the UK GCSE and Cambridge International GCSE O Level examinations. Cambridge IGCSE provides a stimulating and flexible curriculum, thoroughly supported with exceptional resources and training. This gives students of all ability levels, the freedom to choose subjects that are right for them.

Academic Curriculum

Students may choose either Core and Extended Curriculum for English, Math and Science.

It is more challenging and designed for students who are expected to achieve grades A* to C. Besides the five papers required for obtaining the IGCSE certificate, if students attempt and clear seven or more papers, they are awarded the International Certificate of Education (ICE), a group award of Cambridge IGCSE.
