What are International GCSEs?

The International GCSEs and A Levels are the most commonly studied curriculum around the world. They are based on the UK high school education system and are adapted for a global student base.

  • Students usually begin the International GCSE curriculum in Year 10 or 11 by sitting a minimum of 4-5 subjects. These subjects are structured as first introductions to the specific topic areas that they cover.
  • External exams at the end of the course determine students' grades. In certain countries, students begin in Year 10 and sit 8-10 subjects over the course of two years.
  • In Year 12 students move on to the A Levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the online curriculum that CGA uses?

CGA uses the International GCSE and International Advanced Level (A-Level) curriculum, as well as offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

The International GCSE and International Advanced Level (A-Level) curriculum is provided by Pearson Edexcel. This qualification is internationally recognised and, currently, Pearson Edexcel exams are sat by over 3 million students in 6500 schools in 120 countries. The International Advanced Level qualification is usually a two-year programme. International AS exams count for half of the final International A-Level grade.

AP courses allow high school students to take classes at the US university level. They allow students to study 38 subjects in-depth and prepare them for college level work. Most US universities recognize AP credit as college credit. The AP Program offers several awards for high achievement. Each year, over 2.8 million students take AP exams, with most students taking multiple APs during the course of their high school careers. AP is one of the most recognized curricula for top universities and CGA is looking forward to launching this program.

Can I take Pearson Edexcel subjects while I am a Cambridge/IB/National Curriculum?

Yes. Students can combine exam boards and qualifications for university applications. Speak to an advisor today for expert advice on how to do this correctly.

What is the difference between Edexcel and Cambridge International?

Edexcel and Cambridge International are examination boards. The two are essentially equivalent. Most universities will accept a mixture of both Edexcel and Cambridge results. In the UK, it is highly common that multiple examination boards are often used within a single school in the UK.

Edexcel has additional advantages, including: more examination sitting dates and modular exams where a student can sit a module of the subject rather than the whole subject.

Are online GCSEs equal to a regular GCSE?

Yes, CGA uses the same exam boards that many international schools use - Pearson Edexcel and Cambridge. Your online GCSE results come from the exam board themself and are equal to that of a traditional GCSE from your school.

Will CGA students receive transcripts and official High School Graduation?

Students will receive regular and timely CGA Academic Transcripts, which detail grades and likely or expected final examination grades.

Each class will have a combination of examinations, mid-term tests and project-based assessments (individual and group).

The requirements usually involve taking at least 3 A-Levels and 5 International GCSE subjects. Specific subjects must be taken from different subject groups and graduation will depend on their full subject completion.

Our Academic Advisors will ensure that students select the right subjects to meet graduation requirements and provide the best opportunities beyond high school.

How long does it take to complete a GCSE online?

It takes just 1 year to complete a GCSE online in comparison to 2 years at a traditional school. You can enrol in our online school in either the September or January intake to complete an online GCSE.
