A Levels - Geneva English School

In designing the best possible curriculum for post-16 study, GES has combined the advantages of the flexibility and depth of study offered by A Levels with a modern, international approach that includes a language qualification, the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.

Our A Level Programme provides a passport to leading universities in Europe, the UK and around the world and equips students with the confidence and skills that they will need in a rapidly changing workplace and interconnected global environment.

A Levels put you in charge How are A Levels different to the IB?

The British A Level is seen as the gold standard in education for 17 and 18 year olds. You are able to choose the subjects that you want to study. You are not forced to do subjects that you don’t like or are not good at. Most students study 3 or 4 A Level subjects and for each subject you will have five, one-hour lessons a week. Our expert teachers and admissions team will be happy to guide you to choose the best subjects for you and to help you with your future careers.

Short for ‘Advanced Level Qualifications’, A Levels are subject-based qualifications that lead to university study, further training or employment. They are usually taken by students aged 16 – 18 and are offered by schools and colleges both in the UK and internationally.
