(Ages 14-16)
Upper school comprises Years 10 and 11. During these two critical years, students study and pass their International GCSE qualifications. International GCSEs are highly respected, stand-alone qualifications and are a passport for progression to A Levels and ultimately to University.
Upper school students can choose the subjects they wish to study but should bear in mind that A Levels require a top grade in the same subject at International GCSE. So if you need to study Biology, Maths and Psychology at A Level because that is what you need to enter University, then you need to study these same three subjects at International GCSE level too. Students can only study A Levels in subjects they have already studied and attained a B grade in at International GCSE level.
Also, students can choose the number of International GCSEs they wish to study. However, students should not choose too few subjects because they may require an A Level to enter University and if they haven’t studied it at International GCSE level then they won’t be able to study the subject at A Level. Students change their mind about what they want to study at University all the time and so the broadest selection of International GCSEs affords the greatest scope for future directions.

CAIE are amongst the top awarding bodies for science education throughout the world
Cambridge believe that if you wish to embark on a career in the scientific industry, good practical skills are a must and many universities insist that practical skills have been assessed during examinations as well as theoretical skills. Evidence of practical science skills will also ensure that you are in the best possible position to apply to the most distinguished of institutions and improve your career opportunities.
Study Online Cambridge provides the facility of class experiments at our own campus. It gives students direct experience of physical phenomena. Just as important, they allow students to practice being scientists: discussing, developing hypotheses, designing experiments, predicting outcomes and returning to fresh hypotheses and more experiments. They develop their powers of observation, thinking and problem-solving. Active learning follows the adage ‘hear and forget, see and remember, do and understand’.
Or students can opt Alternative to Practical, rather than the Practical Test Cambridge International expect educators to embed practical techniques and investigative work into their teaching. Students are expected to be familiar with a key set of practical during their course of study. To support this the course provides full guidance for a limited number of experimental investigations that can be carried out independently, with minimal equipment. Such experiments however MUST be supervised and performed in an appropriate laboratory setting. We ensure that this can be complied to give students the best possible preparation for their examinations. Guidance on equipment and safety can be found within the syllabus specification. If for any reason it is not possible for a student to do experimental work then alternative activities are provided within the course.
Parents are responsible for arranging their child’s examinations at their local CAIE registered examination centre or with our school for sitting their written and practical examinations as we are registered with Cambridge international examinations. Study-Cambridge-Online students’ study from every part of the globe and so it is not practical for the school to offer a single venue to sit examinations.
