High School Foundation Course
Our High School Foundation Program for Grade 9 is designed to provide students with a well-rounded and holistic education, serving as the initial step in their high school journey. This approach ensures that students have the opportunity to develop academically, physically, artistically, and socially, laying a solid foundation for their overall growth and future success.
Subject Offer
In Grade 9, students are encouraged to explore various paths for their academic journey beyond the foundation year. They are given the flexibility to choose their path for Grades 10 to 12, whether it be the Pre-Diploma Program (Pre-DP), the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), American placement (AP), or other options such as pursuing A Levels or the Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE).
Throughout this decision-making process, students receive guidance and support from teachers and counselors. They engage in discussions and consultations to determine the best path forward based on their interests, strengths, and aspirations. Final decisions are made in agreement with the Academic Principal, ensuring that each student's educational journey is personalized and optimized for their individual needs and goals.
