British Baccalaureate at ISCB: A-Levels Mode
The British Baccalaureate at ISCB follows the British A-Levels Programme, offering personalised, flexible education geared towards each student’s future university studies.
The British system encourages active learning and reflection, with small class sizes that allow for individualised attention. Students are prepared to pass the GCE A-Levels exams, a fundamental requirement for admission to the world’s top universities.
In addition, ISCB combines British methodology with the emotional and academic support necessary for each student to develop their full potential in a motivating and safe environment.
The A-Levels (Advanced Levels) represent the highest level of academic certification within the British education system and are among the most prestigious pre-university qualifications internationally.
Their modular and specialized structure allows students to design a personalized academic pathway, selecting key subjects aligned with their academic and professional objectives.
Unlike other baccalaureate systems, A-Levels focus on fewer subjects, allowing for an in-depth study of each chosen field. This approach fosters analytical thinking and research skills.
- Three subjects to choose from: Specialise in the areas that you are most passionate about and that best suit your goals.
- Flexible schedule: Includes study time within school hours to encourage autonomy and independent learning.
- Small classes: A personalised learning environment that encourages interaction and individualised support.
- Academic and professional guidance: Continuous support in the choice of subjects, university applications and career planning.
- Academic depth: A detailed approach to each subject that encourages critical thinking and analysis.
- International recognition: Qualification accepted at universities around the world, including the United Kingdom, Europe and the USA.
Success Rate of our A-Levels
Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
Within the British Baccalaureate, the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a unique opportunity for students to develop an independent research project.
The EPQ encourages creativity, autonomy and critical thinking skills. Students choose a topic they are passionate about and research it in depth, culminating in a written assignment and presentation.
Many universities particularly value this project, as it demonstrates the student’s ability to research, analyse and communicate complex ideas. At ISCB, students receive expert guidance to achieve high academic standards in their projects.
