Lower Senior School (Years 9 and 10)

Cambridge IGCSE subjects are a collection of courses designed to provide learners in Years 9 and 10 with high-quality international education. The courses cover a wide range of subject areas and are structured to promote active inquiry and deep exploration of various curriculum areas. This program helps learners develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and investigative skills, which align with global education standards. By guiding our learners to choose courses in multiple subject groups, the IGCSE Program at Beacon Academy provides the perfect link from the Cambridge Lower Secondary Middle Years Program to the final two years of their academic career culminating with the IB Diploma Programme. The IGCSE curriculum encourages learners to become independent thinkers and learners, preparing them for higher education and university studies. Learners will also have time to involve themselves in the numerous extracurricular activities on offer to keep an all-important balance of academics and extracurricular activities. Stepping up to Years 9-10 can be challenging, but, at Beacon Academy, the IGCSE Learner will be supported throughout to meet deadlines for coursework, homework, revision, mock examinations and finally their external examinations at the end of Year 10.
