ACADEMICS
The Exupery International School, takes a learner-centred approach. This means that the school works with students as individuals to help them find a pathway best suited to their needs. In M5 (Year 10) all IB and A Level program subjects are offered as a way to introduce learners to the IB or A Level syllabus. This preparation allows students and their families to make informed choices, in consultation with faculty members that will support their transition to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or the Cambridge International AS & A Level programme.
At the end of M5 students take extended IGCSE exams in Combined Science, Maths, English Language and Literature. IGCSE is one of the most sought-after and recognised qualifications in the world. It is recognised by colleges and universities worldwide. An extended curriculum offers more challenging content for students aiming for grades from A* to E.
