The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (International GCSE) is an internationally recognised qualification for students in Years 10/11. It is equivalent to the UK GCSE exam (formerly known as O-Level). The International GCSE is widely accepted in countries such as the UK, USA, Singapore, and Australia, making it an ideal choice for students seeking a globally recognised qualification.

The International GCSE curriculum focuses on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills while broadening the students’ subject knowledge. The format of the International GCSE exam is designed to be accessible to international learners studying in Singapore. It offers a syllabus based on the British model but with a wider, more global perspective.

This curriculum provides a strong foundation for higher-level courses like International A-Levels or GCE A-Levels. It also offers flexibility, allowing students to select International GCSE subjects tailored to their interests and academic goals.
