At CGA we offer a variety of options for those students looking to accelerate their studies and maximize their time in high school.
We offer the Pearson Edexcel International GCSEs, a globally recognized high school curriculum. Based on the British curriculum, this is one of the most popular international courses of study. You can take traditional subjects like English Language and Maths, or explore areas of interest in History and Business.
For those students looking to attend a US university, we offer Advanced Placement courses. These are college-level courses that students in American high schools take to get credit at university. While not a complete curriculum, AP courses are well-regarded for their academic rigour.
Students can enrol either full time or part time with us and take a variety of subjects. Our flexible options allow you to make your own timetable.
If you have significant pursuits outside the classroom like sports or other activities, then enrolling at CGA will ensure you do not miss out on the traditional high school experience while getting an international education with world-class teachers.

Early preparation for university begins by selecting the correct subjects that will guide on as you progress in your learning journey. By taking classes that will help you understand what subject matter is like in university, you will be better prepared to face the challenges of advanced learning. At CGA we offer two options for students at the high school level: the International GCSE programme and Advanced Placement courses.
At CGA we believe that students should study according to their ability and not age. With this in mind, we encourage students to accelerate their studies beyond the traditional school year.
We provide both full time and part time enrolment options that will help you maximize your time and take classes that challenge you academically. Our advisors can guide you in this process.
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 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.
The Advanced Placement course (AP) is primarily accepted for university entrance in the US & Canada, and is available to study through our CGA US campus. Administered by the College Board, they have now replaced the SAT Subject Tests for college applications.
The AP course is not a full curriculum or qualification but can generate credits for those students that are typically looking at applying for US or Canadian universities.
