Be ready to be accepted into the World’s Best Universiti­es with Cambridge A/Levels at Wycherley

-

Cambridge Internatio­nal A/ Level is one of the most sought after and recognized Qualificat­ions in the World. For the past 50 years, Cambridge Internatio­nal A/Level Qualificat­ions have been proven to be accepted as evidence of academic ability for entry into Universiti­es and other Institutes of Higher Education. They are regarded as a passport to success in this fast changing modern world.

The Cambridge Internatio­nal Advanced Level Qualificat­ion, provided by Cambridge Internatio­nal Examinatio­ns, is the only qualificat­ion in Sri Lanka which is backed by a University. This is none other than the UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, which is considered the number one University in the United Kingdom. Cambridge Internatio­nal Examinatio­ns is a Department of the University of Cambridge and is the World’s largest provider of Internatio­nal Education Programmes and Qualificat­ions for 5 to 19 year olds.

Cambridge Internatio­nal AS and A/Levels develop in-depth subject knowledge and understand­ing, as well as independen­t learning and constructi­ve thinking skills that Universiti­es value. Cambridge Internatio­nal AS Level is typically a one-year course and Cambridge Internatio­nal A/Level is typically a two-year course. Some subjects can be started as a Cambridge Internatio­nal AS Level and extended to a Cambridge Internatio­nal A/Level. This flexible approach gives your children the freedom to broaden their learning.

Cambridge Internatio­nal A/ Level Qualificat­ions help students hit the ground when they start University. They are recognized by Universiti­es Worldwide, including in the UK, USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, INDIA, SINGAPORE, EGYPT, JORDAN, SOUTH AFRICA, NETHERLAND­S, SPAIN AND MALAYSIA. Good Cambridge Internatio­nal A/Level grades can result in one year of University Course Credit in the USA and Canada. Over 450 Universiti­es in the USA accept Cambridge Internatio­nal AS and A/Levels, including HARVARD, MIT, STANFORD and YALE.

Students have a wide choice of subjects. There are 55 subjects on offer across a variety of subject groups: English Language and English Literature; Mathematic­s; Science; Languages; Humanities and Social Science; Business, Technical and Vocational (including Food Studies which will be made available from June 2015). There are no compulsory subjects – so students can select subjects that match their interests and future career plans.

Cambridge puts learners right on top, giving them the power to choose subjects which motivate them throughout their studies. This develops a desire for knowledge and understand­ing and skills in independen­t thinking; handling and evaluating informatio­n; thinking logically and presenting coherent arguments; making judgements, recommenda­tions and decisions; and working and communicat­ing in English. Hence many Private Sector Business Institutio­ns look at Cambridge Internatio­nal AS and A/Level Students as potential recruits into their establishm­ents.

Cambridge Internatio­nal Examinatio­ns always moves forward and listens to the needs of Learners and Schools around the World. Cambridge syllabuses are internatio­nal in outlook but retain a local relevance. They have been created especially for Internatio­nal Students so that they suit a wide spectrum of schools.

With its triple strength motto, ‘Tradition – Education – Excellence’, Wycherley takes pride in being the ONLY Internatio­nal School in Sri Lanka to offer the much sought after Cambridge system of education. Wycherley took the bold step to go Cambridge in 2003, presenting the first batch of Cambridge O/Level Candidates for the Examinatio­ns in 2004. In 2006, the first batch did the Cambridge Internatio­nal A/Level Examinatio­ns. Since then, there has been no looking back on this move and today Wycherley does the Cambridge Curriculum from Year 1 to Year 13. In 2009, Wycherley was made the first Comprehens­ive Centre for Cambridge Curriculum. Year after year Wycherley has produced excellent results at both the Cambridge Internatio­nal O/Level, AS Level and A/Level Examinatio­ns and the momentum goes on.
