What are A-Levels?
At our sports, dance and music high school, we prepare students for International A-Levels. These British A-Levels entitle students to study at universities and colleges worldwide. They are the secondary school qualification with the greatest worldwide distribution.
A major advantage of the British system is that in the last two years, students only take the subjects that they will focus on later in their studies and careers. The International A-Levels are known for their excellent preparation for academic studies.
For many British universities, they are the "gold standard" for entry. In the USA, the diplomas are accepted by more than 500 universities, most notably the Ivy League universities. In Switzerland, access is regulated by swissuniversities.
