Gateway opens admissions for Advanced Level
There is no “one-size-fits-all” education to ensure every student. Gateway College is proud to offer the largest, most comprehensive selection of educational choices - so that parents and students can choose the best education program for academic growth and success.
Gateway has opened admissions in their campuses in Colombo, Kandy and Negombo to those who sat the Sri Lankan OLS in December 2011 and those who will sit for London or Cambridge OL/IGCSE in May 2012. These students can take: 4 GCE Advanced Level subjects 3 GCE Advanced Level subjects and International Diploma in IT
3 GCE Advanced Level subjects and International Diploma in Business The International Foundation Programme The range of subjects offered at Advanced Level Science, Business and Humanities sectors include Mathematics, Further Maths, Pure Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business Studies, Accounting, Applied ICT, English Language & Literature, French and Psychology. They have been arranged in a way where even uncommon combinations of subjects can be taken to suit students’ future careers. Gateway, strongly encourages the students who wish to pursue demanding careers such as Medicine and Engineering to study four AL subjects.
Students also have the option of taking 3 Advanced Level subjects along with a Diploma and thereby fast track their Degree studies. Through this arrangement, they are also able to keep their options open until they complete the two years of study at Advanced Level where they could even opt for a different career to what they were planning at the commencement of their Advanced Level studies. Gateway Graduate School, in partnership with NCC Education UK, offers a choice of two Diplomas. These Diplomas (International Diploma in Computer Studies – IDCS and International Diploma in Business - IDB) done over two years, is equivalent to the first year of a British Degree. The second year (leading to the Advanced Diploma) and the final year (leading to a British Degree) can be followed at the Gateway Graduate School. Taking this route, the student can obtain an internationally recognised British Degree, here in Sri Lanka, at a fraction of the cost of studying in the UK. Students also have the option of transferring to Universities in UK, New Zealand or Australia following the completion of the Diploma.
The International Foundation Programme is also made available to be done while still being in school for students who wish to join our Degree pathway after OL/IGCSES. Having completed the Foundation Programme, students are able to join the first year of the Degree. The programme in addition to raising students’ English level will also provide a firm grounding in Business and Computing along with other important skills.
Gateway College has produced outstanding results at both Advanced Levels and the Diplomas in the recent years. This includes the island’s best result at Advanced Levels (5 A Stars) and the Diplomas (Global High Achiever). The experienced and qualified staff of the school is supported with State-of-the-art facilities and resources. Gateway College enjoys accredited teaching center status from Edexcel-uk, Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and NCC Education-uk.
Students taking all these options have access to a wide range of sports and co-curricular activities. Our newly established Career Counselling and Guidance Unit offers extensive support in securing University placements and academic scholarships. The firm, friendly and fair environment that prevails within the school help Gateway students to receive the finest global education within our unique cultural heritage.
