Students entering after Grade 9 follow the three-year programme (IGCSE, AS and A Level). Those entering after Grade 10 complete a two-year AS and A Level programme. South African matriculants enter directly into the one-year accelerated A Level programme.
Students typically take six or seven subjects at IGCSE, four to six at AS Level, and three to four at A Level, depending on their academic profile and university aspirations. Subject combinations are reviewed individually to ensure each student is well placed.
Students meet with the Head of Sixth Form at the start of the academic year to confirm subject choices and finalise their programme. Those intending to study at South African universities will receive guidance on Matriculation Exemption requirements.
Subject Notes
- Music students are required to audition.
- Drama requires the subject to have been completed in the previous year of schooling.
- Entry into Further Mathematics requires strong performance in Mathematics at AS Level or IEB Matric.
- Upper VI Mathematics students choose between Mechanics and Statistics.
Matriculation Exemption requirements are administered through Universities South Africa (USAf). It remains the responsibility of students and families to confirm that exemption requirements are met once final Cambridge results are released.
