Academic Rigour

International A-Levels

Year 12 and Year 13

The world’s most prestigious pre-university qualification, International A-Levels offer a blend of academic rigour and flexible assessment. Their modular structure allows students to build confidence and progress consistently across two years of focused study. The International A-Levels programme is considered the gold standard in international education, not just because they are accepted and recognised by universities around the world, but also because they challenge students to think critically and independently.

A-Levels are the qualifications taken in the UK during the last two years of secondary education, typically for students between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. They are renowned for their academic depth and are considered the gold standard for university entrance.

International A-Levels are the globally recognised equivalent of the UK A-Level qualification, designed for students aged 16 to 18 studying in an international education environment. These qualifications are rigorous, academically demanding and internationally respected, providing excellent preparation for entry into top universities worldwide.

Offered by prestigious examination boards such as Pearson Edexcel and Cambridge International, International A-Levels carry the same academic value, credibility and recognition as UK A-Levels. They are accepted by leading universities across the UK, Europe, North America and beyond, making them an ideal pathway for students seeking global higher education opportunities.

adult approach to learning

At The British School of Vilnius, we provide a mature learning environment for our Year 12 and Year 13 students that is both informal and structured. Classes are held in small groups, creating an ideal setting for active participation and personalised attention from teachers. This includes more opportunities for homework and feedback on assignments, creating an environment in which students have the freedom to explore and refine their ideas, encouraging them to become more self-reliant thinkers.
