International General Certificate of Secondary Education

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is a globally recognized academic qualification designed for students aged 14 to 16. Developed by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), it is part of the Cambridge Assessment International Education system.

The IGCSE serves as a preparatory stage for higher-level international qualifications such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), A-Levels, and Advanced Placement (AP). The curriculum emphasizes a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application. It encourages students to develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, inquiry-based learning, and strong communication abilities. Students typically undertake the IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10 (Years 10 and 11 in the British system).
