The Cambridge Lower Secondary program is designed for students approximately 11 -14 years old. It builds on the PYP program in the primary school at Treamis and develops children’s knowledge and skills in Mathematics, English and Science.

The lower Secondary provides standardized tests to allow careful monitoring of progress from primary to lower secondary phases. It also provides excellent preparation for students embarking on IGCSE or O level courses.

Advanced Subsidiary Level:

The AS level is awarded to the candidate who clears minimum four subjects including subjects from Group 1 and any three from the remaining options.

Students enrolling in Mathematics should choose a specialization subject from the following.

1. Mathematics, Mechanics
2. Mathematics, Probability and Statistics
3. Mathematics

Mathematics together with a specialization subject makes one whole unit.

Advanced Level:

The A2 level is awarded to the candidate who clears a minimum of any three subjects from the above options.

Students enrolling in Mathematics should choose a specialization subject from the following.

1. Mathematics, Mechanics, Probability and Statistics.
2. Mathematics, Mechanics, extended Mechanics
3. Mathematics, Probability and Statistics, extended Probability and Statistics.
4. Mathematics together with a specialization subject makes one whole unit.

Choosing the subjects:

Parents and students should check the minimum subject requirements (prerequisites) of the Universities and the departments they plan to seek admission after the completion of A Level. Choosing the right subjects will help them achieve their academic & career goals.

Diploma:

An A Level would count as a double-credit qualification and an AS Level as a full (single) credit course within the Cambridge AICE Diploma award framework.

Structured approach to obtaining Diploma:

• Take all A Level components in the same examination session at the end of the course of study, most normally the end of the second year
• Follow a staged assessment to A Level by taking the Advanced Subsidiary qualification in one examination session, and the final part of assessment in a subsequent session
• Take the AS Level only

The structure of the International A Level is such that co-teaching of students following both AS and A Level routes is possible.

A level is a two-year program from CAIE after the completion of IGCSE. It provides a strong foundation for University education and is accepted as a proof of academic ability by the Universities all over the world. An A Level course is probably the most in-depth and thorough preparation for university, medical college or employment that a school can give its students.

The A Level is a 2-year program at Treamis. The subject content of each A Level syllabus has been subdivided into two parts

The AS syllabus content which is expected to be covered in the first half of the course (one year or two semesters) and part 2 of the syllabus, commonly referred to as A2 which will be covered in the second half.

A level examinations are equivalent to 12th standard examinations of other curriculum Boards in India. Students should have completed tenth grade or its equivalent in order to be eligible for enrolment in AS Level.

The AICE Diploma, which is overseen by the University of Cambridge, demands that students fulfill a number of rigorous requirements. This program can earn students recognition, college credit, and scholarship money at certain schools, and it’s also an excellent way to further your education all around.

Seven credits are required for earning the diploma: one credit each from Groups 1, 2, and 3, and three credits distributed across the groups in any desired combination. The last credit is earned through Cambridge International AS Level Global Perspectives & Research. Optionally, up to two credits may be taken from Group 4, the interdisciplinary and skills-based subjects group.

Passing an AS Level exam (corresponding to a one-year course) earns one credit; passing an A Level exam (corresponding to a two-year course) earns two credits. All exams must be taken within a 25-month period.

The grades in each subject are A*, A, B, C, D, or E, or a fail. An A* is similar to a high A+ in the US, while an E is similar to a C.

Depending on the scores, the student can earn the AICE Diploma at Pass level, with Merit, or with Distinction. There are 20-60 points awarded per credit. Here are the point ranges required to meet each level of distinction:

• AICE Diploma at Pass Level: 140-249 points
• AICE Diploma with Merit: 250-359 points
• AICE Diploma with Distinction: 360 or more points (maximum score is 420 points)

The student will get certificates in the subjects taken even if the diploma is not earned. This will help in getting into college or earning college credit.

The whole AICE program is overseen, ultimately, by a branch of the University of Cambridge. The classes are hard, and most are offered at two levels: the Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level, and the Advanced (A) Level. AS Level classes are one year long and less demanding than their A Level counterparts, which are two years in length.

Classes tend to be narrow and specific in focus; the AICE Diploma entails an extremely specialized program. In this way, AICE is more like IB than it is AP (if you’re familiar with these programs).

The AICE Diploma is internationally used and recognized, and is accepted at many universities around the world. At some schools, AICE courses will earn you college credits (we’ll go over this in more detail when we talk about the benefits of the program).

College Credit

The students will earn up to 45 hours of college credit from the AICE Diploma. Individual course certificates can also earn college credit if the student does not earn the diploma. This depends on which college the student wants to attend. The colleges around the world that recognize AICE can be found at the Cambridge website.

The AICE program is also described as an acceleration mechanism, meaning it gets the student ready for hard college classes at a more rapid pace than traditional coursework. As with the AP and IB programs, AICE involves studying college-level material before the student graduates from high school. The student is also more likely to be accepted into honors classes right away when they get to college if they have an AICE (or AP or IB) Diploma under their belt.
