Cambridge International Education Authorization

Boston International School proudly announces, we have recently been authorized by Cambridge International Education to offer the Cambridge Upper Secondary and the Cambridge Advanced Secondary programmes.

Upper Secondary is taught at the M4 and M5 grade levels.  After two years of study (in M5), students sit for IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) Examinations and receive IGCSE Certificates.

Advanced Secondary is taught to students at the D1 and D2 grade levels.  In the second year of study, students write A (Advanced) Level Examinations and receive A Level Certificates. A combination of 5 Cambridge IGCSE Certificates and 3 A Level Certificates is accepted for university entrance in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore, and elsewhere.

This new Cambridge authorization presents our students with another internationally recognized route through high school and into university.  The first cohort of Cambridge students is the M5 class who will write IGCSE Examinations toward the end of this semester.

近日，波士顿国际学校喜获剑桥国际教育授权，将可开设剑桥高中课程和剑桥大学预科课程。

剑桥高中课程主要是面对我校的M4和M5的学生。经过这两年的学习，M5的学生需要参加IGCSE（国际普通中等教育证书）考试并获得IGCSE的证书。

剑桥大学预科课程是面对我校D1和D2的学生。经过这两年的学习，学生需要参加A Level考试并获得A Level证书。5个科目的IGCSE证书加上3个科目的A Level证书就可以申请美国、加拿大、英国、澳大利亚、新西兰、南非、香港和新加坡等地的大学。

这项新的剑桥国际教育授权可以为我们的学生提供另一条国际公认的进入大学的途径。剑桥高中课程的第一批学生是M5，他们将在本学期末进行IGCSE考试。
