A-LEVEL CURRICULUM (KEY STAGE 5) AT BSG

As a leading A-level curriculum school in Guangzhou, China,  we can personalise the A-level programme so it plays to each individual’s strengths, which we believe is of vital importance when it comes to maximising our students' chances of success. Students can choose to specialise in A-level subjects in the sciences, arts, or languages, or opt for a broader A-level curriculum based on their future aspirations and their strengths.

Key Stage 5 Curriculum and 6th Form A-Level Courses

A-levels are a globally accepted qualification. They are recognised and held in high regard by universities, colleges, and employers worldwide, including in US, Asian, European, Canadian, and Australian universities, with some even offering whole semesters' worth of credit to A-level graduates because of the depth of the work required for these academically demanding courses.

The A-level certification we offer is externally marked by Cambridge University and Edexcel, two ‘gold standard’ accrediting boards.

A TYPICAL DAY AT THE BRITISH SCHOOL OF GUANGZHOU

Every day is different at our A-level international school in Guangzhou, China. That’s down to our exceptional teachers, variety of learning experiences, and exclusive collaborations with world-leading organisations via Nord Anglia Education.

Follow your own path
No day is ever the same. That’s because every student follows their passions, forging their own path to success. For some, that means quantum physics in our science labs; for others, creating sculptures in our art studios.

At this vital stage in education, it’s important your child has the time and space to make big decisions, including which university course to study. Our guidance service supports students and parents through the process.

COMPLEMENTARY PACKAGE

To provide breadth and a greater emphasis on skills, students can take part in further complementary courses. These can include qualifications like the highly regarded Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), which is similar to a university dissertation. This helps our students prepare well for their future academic work, as they apply to the world’s top institutions.
