IGCSE

The course is designed for both native and non-native speakers of English. Each student is given appropriate support, and the school itself is supported by Cambridge. We build our school in agreement with our students' actual needs and demands. Creativity, developing learners' interests, encouraging students to broaden their knowledge - these are our fundamental goals.

The combination of subjects provided by our school is as follows: english literature, english as a Second Language, polish (both for native speakers and foreigners), german, spanish, mathematics, ICT, biology, chemistry, physics, history, geography, arts, and PE. Active participation in classes guarantees an appropriate background for further studies, for instance at the IB level or for academic career. Communicating and working in English, along with a vast variety of new tasks, ensure learner's quick and effective development.

At the end of the course (Stage 11, May), the external assessment procedure takes place. Elements of the examination involve written and oral assignments. Examination session usually lasts about 3 weeks. Students choose subjects on the core or extended level, depending on their plans for the future. The arrangement of subjects must be as follows: English, a foreign language, mathematics, a selected science subject. The grades range from A* (the highest mark) to G (the lowest possible mark). Clear grade boundaries are stated by Cambridge each year. Results are available in August. Statistics concerning results in the previous years are available on the official Cambridge website. Past papers are accessible online and may be provided by the teacher. Our teachers have the access to a password-protected Teacher Support sites.

The teaching materials used in our school are the most up-to-date handbooks, supported by official teacher resource books and workbooks. Publishers whose handbooks we teach from are: Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Nelson Thornes, Edelsa and other acknowledged companies. Moreover, online teaching materials are applied, such as videos, quizzes, etc.

We are proud to say that all of our classrooms are equipped with modern SMART boards. These SMART boards allow students to explore lessons in the interactive way. They create an interesting environment for learning and give students a wonderful experience. Our learners can gain knowledge by using computers, tablets and other electronic devices that can be connected to the boards. Thanks to them students can be active in their lessons and comprehend concepts in an easy and more natural way.
