The International Graduate Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is the gold standard grade X qualification in the world. At CS Academy International, most students take eight subjects, spread across six subject groups to give a strong broad based foundation to build upon. The student who takes subjects in all six groups (English, Mathematics, Science, II Language, Vocational & Humanities) gains the International Certificate of Excellence (ICE Award). More importantly, the student is exposed to a variety of subjects including Economics, Accounts, Computers which provides an opportunity to evaluate their interest before selecting subjects in grade XI. While A levels are the natural progression for most students, some students successfully move to CBSE in grade XI, especially for taking Indian competitive examinations like the NEET and JEE.
