A Key Stage in the International Academic Journey

Pearson Edexcel International GCSE is a separate international qualification stage, generally designed for learners aged 14–16. Unlike the earlier iPrimary and iLowerSecondary learning programmes, International GCSE consists of separate subject qualifications.

Students study individual subjects and work towards internationally assessed qualifications. The stage provides an opportunity to develop subject knowledge, apply understanding and prepare for the next phase of education.

Amore Learning School has approved the development of this programme page as part of its British Curriculum pathway. Specific subjects, examination arrangements, available sessions and enrolment details should be confirmed with the school’s admissions team.
