A-Level

Sixth Form at Haileybury presents an exciting opportunity for girls and boys to make significant choices about their future.

A-levels

The A-level curriculum provides a focused, investigative learning opportunity. By choosing three or four subjects, pupils identify as subject specialists and explore subject areas in detail. Their pathways are complemented with appropriate electives, and balanced with the core curriculum.

• They allow a young person to focus on their choice of subjects
• This is a powerful motivator. The choice is important!
• They allow for specialism (eg all three sciences) or a broad range of subjects.
• They allow a pupil to study in-depth and really get to grips with advanced-level study.
• Especially powerful if a young person knows what they wish to focus on at university.
• They offer additional time for co-curricular involvement and the wider development of young people 
• Advocates of the A-Level system point out that twice as many international schools focus on A Levels as opposed to IB
• A-Level courses allow time to study in-depth, develop their university applications and undertake the International Award (Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme)
• The programme of study should be tailored individually to each pupil, rather than moulding the pupil to fit the qualification.
