PROGRAM

Preparatory school

Literacy and the ability to think quantitatively are the building blocks of education and the foundation of learning. The school follows the National Curriculum, but due to its small size, it is possible to offer a more substantive content of instruction and, of course, individual attention to each student. As the girls progress, they begin to study French, Spanish, music, theatre, art, physical education and games. Training is conducted by teachers - specialists in their subjects. The subject "Science" is taught in well-equipped laboratories at High School. Various musical events are held, individual music lessons can also be organized.

Junior classes

The basis of training is the National Curriculum, but the school offers a greater number of subjects. 17 subjects are being studied.

GCSE

In high school, girls prepare for the GCSE exam (to obtain a certificate of general secondary education). At the 10th year of study, they complete the GCSE short course. 6 key subjects are being studied. Girls also choose to study four additional subjects.
