Senior School
| Senior Secondary School students need to have a well-rounded, happy experience at school so they can learn independently, develop resilience, confidence and maturity. We are proud of the depth and breadth of our extensive curriculum; a curriculum that has the ability to extend to the very able while also providing support for the less able. We prepare students for examinations of National and International Boards. These give the students an excellent foundation for their higher education including progression to the A/AS level. The IGCSE and A levels are recognised internationally. Cambridge IGCSE is the most popular international qualification. It prepares students for what senior secondary school at Inventure provides –a continuous interface between Physics/Chemistry and Math/English/History. Cambridge International A/AS level students are assured of placement in more top universities worldwide than any other international qualification. This course is in keeping with the strong theoretical base which provokes experimentation and interactions with the physical sciences on the one hand, and the humanities and life science fields on the other. This gives students the flexibility and freedom to find the right ‘subject fit’ of their choice. Information Technology is integral to our curriculum and we deliver a very successful and effective student computer program. We look continuously at curriculum work to improve (among other things) good national test scores. The Practices Defining Time in Senior Secondary School are: 1.
