EIC Prospectus - Secondary School
11 to 16 years of age |
 The
curriculum includes English Language, English Literature,
Mathematics, Spanish, French, German, History, Geography,
Art, Science, Music, Drama, Information Technology,
Physical Education and Personal, Social, Health &
Citizenship Education. In addition, the lower secondary
years take part in a programme which provides general
and cultural knowledge of the world and world affairs,
as well as participating in field trips and residential
courses, which form the basis for additional general
studies offered later throughout the Secondary School
and Sixth Form. Year 9 is very much a transitional year
in which pupils are prepared for the demands of the
IGCSE courses and the subject choices they are required
to make. In this year Biology, Chemistry and Physics
are taught as separate subjects. In the second term
of Year 9, pupils and parents are given assistance and
advice in a written guide to option selection for the
IGCSE courses, which start in Year 10. The aim of the
curriculum for students at this level is to provide
a broad and balanced education, whilst allowing scope
for specialisation.
Years 10 and 11 provide a preparation for IGCSE examinations
(International General Certificate of Secondary Education,
awarded by the University of Cambridge) and GCSE examinations
(awarded by Edexcel and OCR). This level of examination
constitutes a world-wide university entrance qualification
and its study programme facilitates the transfer of
students from one international school to another. Students
may prepare for up to ten IGCSE examinations. All students
take courses in English Language, English Literature,
Mathematics, Spanish and Information Technology. Physical
Education, though not necessarily to examination level,
is also compulsory. The class sizes are reduced considerably
at this time, which facilitates individual attention
when needed. Five further subjects are chosen from the
following list, in order to complete each student’s
study programme:
| Biology |
German |
History |
Drama |
| Chemistry |
French |
Geography |
Art & Design |
| Physics |
Latin |
Business Studies |
Music |
This selection is carefully planned in consultation
with parents, teachers and students to ensure that
the resulting course combination matches each student’s
aptitude and ability, whilst at the same time preparing
him/her further for the world of work or further education.
In this way the college provides for a range of academic
and educational needs.
In Year 11 students take ISCO tests. These tests
form part of the comprehensive career guidance provided
by the International Schools Careers Organization
of which the students become members, retaining membership
for 7 years.
