British Advanced Levels

Advanced Level Qualifications (or A Levels for short) can lead to University, Apprenticeship, Vocational Education or Work. It is typically for learners aged 16 to 18 years. Taking three or more A levels is an intensive educational journey that will prepare you for the future. They’re normally assessed by a series of examinations, which can be challenging but ultimately rewarding if they lead to university studies and professional careers in their respective fields. The skills that A-level students learn will make them competitive for any job they take. They can develop their critical thinking abilities, and improve research techniques and data analysis, among many other things. The syllabuses develop a deep understanding of subjects and independent thinking skills.

The Advanced Level at 21K School offers full-time and part-time Learners the following pathways:

• Cambridge International AS & A Level
• Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL)

Students must study a minimum three ‘A’ Levels (or a combination of AS and A Levels) in core subjects to secure admission into most University Undergraduate Programmes. A few Universities worldwide also require IGCSE grades in core subjects, while most only ask for AS and A Level subjects. Specific requirements may vary from country to country.

The Cambridge Advanced programme has an extensive range of subjects available at AS and A Level.

Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL) are globally recognised qualifications with academic content and assessment designed specifically for international learners. IAL are part of iProgress, the complete series of Pearson Edexcel academic qualifications for 5 to 19-year-olds for international schools.

Both Cambridge and Edexcel offer a wide range of subjects. Learners can choose to study 1 or more subjects with 21K School with a combination of different pathways. Students enrolling on 3 or more subjects are considered full-time students, and such students are generally not registered with any other Schools.

Learners studying with another school or as private candidates may opt to study one or more subjects online through 21K School. This broadens opportunities for learners to demonstrate their learning, particularly for university undergraduate programmes. A more comprehensive choice of subjects at the Advanced Level will help learners get admission in their preferred University. The increased number of subjects available, and the ability to study them flexibly, means that learners can tailor their studies to match their interests and career aspirations. In addition, the online delivery of courses means that learners can study at their own pace and in their own time. This enhances the learning experience and opens up opportunities for those who might not otherwise have access to such programmes.
