Advanced Level(A-Level)Brookhurst International school provides the Cambridge accredited A-Levels. Learners at this stage are preparing for university study. We offer both variations of A-Level, AS and A2. AS levels are basically half an A-Level. The student studies for 1 year (Year 12) giving a broad understanding of a subject but not in as much detail. AS levels are standalone courses, taken alongside – rather than as part of – A-levels. This means that they won’t form part of an overall A-level grade. So you’ll only take your AS exams at the end of your first year and you’ll need to take all the exams for your A-levels at the end of the two-year course. A-Level A2 courses have been specifically designed to be delivered in a linear fashion over the two years of sixth form. External examinations taken at the end of Year 13 assess the full two years of sixth form study and lead to the award of an A level. Most students will study 3-4 A level courses in their Year 12 and continue with all these courses to their Year 13. In Year 13 students can continue with four subjects or they may choose to study three subjects at this level depending on university or career aspirations.Why Study A-Level?The teaching of A-Level students is focused more on developing research, analytical, collaborative and communication skills among learners. A person may ask “Why should my child study A-level?’. Well, here are reasons why A-Level works well for your child:
