Programmes

The school offers two distinct academic pathways: the International Programme and the Integrated Programme.

Outcomes

The school prepares students for higher education by equipping them with the qualifications and skills needed to enter local universities or English-speaking universities abroad. Its academic pathways lead to tertiary institutions in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, supported by formal articulation agreements such as a pathway partnership with Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland. Graduates' achievements are celebrated through the school's University Gallery and Wall of Fame.
