THE PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM

UPPER SECONDARY: 16 TO 19 YEARS

A LEVELS  Combined Science

Exam Board: Pearson Edexcel

A-Level Combined Science program provides pupils with a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the fundamental scientific disciplines. This program is designed to provide a solid foundation in key scientific principles while fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of the world around us.

A-Level Combined Science is a two-year course that combines the study of three core sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. It is an excellent option for students who have a passion for science and wish to pursue a broad understanding of the subject.

Course Structure: The A-Level Combined Science program is divided into six modules, with two modules dedicated to each scientific discipline. These modules encompass a wide range of topics and aim to develop students' knowledge, practical skills, and theoretical understanding. 

Benefits of A-Level Combined Science:

  1. Broad scientific knowledge: By studying all three core sciences, students gain a comprehensive understanding of how the natural world functions at various levels, from the molecular to the ecological.

  2. Interdisciplinary connections: A-Level Combined Science encourages students to recognize and appreciate the interconnectedness of different scientific disciplines. This integrated approach enhances their ability to think critically and solve complex problems.

  3. Enhanced practical skills: Practical work is an essential component of the A-Level Combined Science program. Students have the opportunity to develop their practical skills, including experimental design, data analysis, and scientific investigation techniques.

  4. University and career opportunities: A-Level Combined Science provides an excellent foundation for further study in science-related fields at the university level. It opens doors to a wide range of undergraduate programs such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering, Environmental Science, and more.

Teaching and Learning Approach: Our dedicated team of experienced science teachers utilises a variety of teaching methods to ensure an engaging and interactive learning experience. These include hands-on laboratory experiments, demonstrations, multimedia resources, group discussions, and individual research projects. We also emphasise the importance of critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning skills to prepare students for higher education and future careers in science.

Assessment: Assessment in the A-Level Combined Science program consists of written examinations, practical assessments, and coursework. This multifaceted approach allows students to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding, and practical skills across different areas of science.

The A-Level Combined Science program offers an exciting and rewarding educational journey for aspiring scientists. It equips students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm to pursue further studies in science-related fields and make meaningful contributions to society.
