IGCSEs are the international equivalent of British General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) qualifications. IGCSEs are awarded by recognised UK exam boards including Cambridge Assessment International Education and are the most popular international qualifications in the world for 14 to 16 year olds.
Immanuel Online School (IOS) offers three distinct tracks for the study of IGCSEs:
#1 IOS Live Track: This track provides students with access to the learning portal and live teaching sessions following a weekly timetable. Scroll down for more information on how it works to take IGCSEs on the live track. More general detailed information about the IOS track and its offerings can be found here.
#2 NSW Learning Track: This track grants access to the learning portal and selected courses. Unlike the Live Track, there are no live teaching sessions. However, students can correspond remotely with their tutor, who will mark assignments and provide guidance. Click here for fees and more information on the NSW Track.
#3 Content-Only option: This option allows access solely to course content without an associated tutor. Students opting for this track will not have a tutor guiding their studies.
IGCSE qualifications are recognised by colleges, universities and employers in the UK, USA, India, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany and beyond.
Immanuel Online School prepares students to take Cambridge IGCSE examinations at age 16 as private candidates in convenient local examination centres of their choice.
On the IOS live track, we offer a core of six IGCSE exam subjects plus Foundations, together with as many elective IGCSE subjects as students wish to take. It is possible for a student to swap out one core subject for an option subject (e.g. Biology for Computer Science)
By arrangement with the school, it will be possible for students who have already made substantial progress to begin some IGCSE subjects in Year 9 to take the exams in Year 10 and reduce the number of exams taken at the end of Year 11.
The compulsory core consists of the following subjects:
The optional IGCSE subjects offered are:
One of our GCSE students (NSW track) wrote in with a testimonial , having achieved five A grades and four A*s. It is a helpful article that outlines how she found her time with Immanuel Online School but also how she went about managing her time and tackling the GCSEs over three years.
