NGS offers Cambridge Lower Secondary in Years 7, 8 and 9, allowing students to develop a foundation in a wide range of subjects, before they make increasingly specialised subject choices in IGCSE and A Level.
NGS offers Cambridge Upper Secondary in Years 10 and 11, leading to Cambridge IGCSE, the world’s most popular international qualification, recognized by leading universities and employers worldwide as equivalent to the UK General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE).
At NGS, Cambridge Advanced is typically for Years 12-13 and helps learners to develop deep understanding and independent and critical thinking skills in a wide range of subjects. Cambridge International AS Levels have half the content of the corresponding Cambridge International A Level and may be completed in one year. Students can complete Cambridge International AS Level as a qualification in its own right, or as a stage on the way to a full Cambridge International A Level.
Students can study Cambridge International AS Level alongside other Cambridge International A Level subjects to increase breadth in the curriculum and build further knowledge and understanding. Cambridge International AS & A Levels are recognised by UCAS and leading universities in the UK and overseas.
