We encourage students to enter our programme in Grade 10 to have a full preparatory year in readiness for the IB.
Our teachers use the preparatory year to lay the foundation for Diploma Programme so that our students are ready when they enter Grade 11.
In some subjects, students are allowed to ‘test out’ once they receive multiple grades above an exemplary level and use this time to focus on their other work or creative pursuits.
Our curriculum has been staged to acknowledge when applications to university may disrupt teaching and learning. Additionally, we recognise that students have many internal assessments and manage our calendar to offset these pressures.
