British Schools

The British Curriculum is also known the National Curriculum for England, and this system of education stresses creativity, critical thinking and flexibility. At the same time, the British Curriculum includes a series of measurable and achievable goals, each designed to build on what went before while preparing the student for their future work.

Recognition
One of the big advantages of the A Level is the ability to drop subjects which the student finds difficult, or has little interest in, in favour of studying in the areas they enjoy the most and are most confident in. Not all students have a talent for art, or skill in mathematics, or an aptitude for literature; instead, they excel in other areas, which the A Level allows them to explore and expand upon. At university, students will usually focus exclusively on their chosen specialist subject (or two subjects, if they take the major/minor route). By studying for the A Levels, the student is already consolidating their skills in the subjects they will take at undergraduate level.

How to choose a British School?
The first thing to look for is accreditation. When a school is authorised you can be assured that it meets the high standards of the British Curriculum worldwide. When choosing a British school it might be useful to check its results for the last academic years and compare them to the global average score, and the average grade.
