IGCSE and College Preparation

In the earlier years of High School, bobaes undertake the Cambridge IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) courses, which provide a solid foundation across a wide range of subjects. The IGCSE is internationally recognized for its rigorous standards and prepares bobaes for the more advanced Cambridge International AS & A Levels in the later years.

A central focus of our High School program is thorough college preparation. The Cambridge International AS & A Levels, offered in the final years, are highly regarded qualifications that open doors to prestigious universities worldwide. These courses are developed in collaboration with top institutions, including Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Cambridge, ensuring that our bobaes are well-prepared for the rigors of college life.

Bobaes receive personalized college counseling to guide them through the application process, from selecting courses to preparing for standardized tests and crafting compelling college essays. This support ensures that WZIS bobaes are competitive candidates for top-tier universities globally.

Rigorous Assessment

Assessment is integral to our High School curriculum, with a focus on both formative and summative assessments that help bobaes master the material and prepare for external exams. The IGCSE exams in the earlier years and the Cambridge International AS & A Level exams in the later years are known for their academic rigor and are respected by universities worldwide. These assessments test bobaes' ability to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts, ensuring they are well-equipped for the challenges of university study.

Holistic Development

In addition to academic excellence, WZIS emphasizes the importance of holistic development. Our High School bobaes are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and community service projects, helping them develop into well-rounded individuals. This balanced approach ensures that our graduates are not only academically prepared but also socially responsible and capable of making meaningful contributions to society.
