Harrods International Academy Offers Tertiary Education for a Successful University Life
The years leading up to university are exciting. It is a time for a student to learn to work hard, get an idea about what they would like to study in the future and prepare for the pressure of university. It’s best to send your student to a top English international school in Cambodia to have the best possible experience during these years. At Harrods International Academy, there are three different pathways for students to choose for their tertiary education. All programmes are equivalent to Grade 12 in terms of National Exams.
Tertiary Years Offerings
Not all English schools in Cambodia offer choices for tertiary education. However, we know that all students are unique and likely to have different ambitions for the future. When students are offered options, they get to choose the best programme as per their needs and interests. It also gives students ownership of their education, so they become more motivated and show more interest in what they are learning. Each pathway also includes assessments with clear rubrics to help them mark progress. These rubrics allow students to gain a clear understanding of how to master their learning journey. Here is a look at the offerings for tertiary education at HIA.
Cambridge Advanced ‘A’ Levels
If you are looking for a Cambridge school, consider this programme. This is the first pathway to university education and is available after year 11. Students can choose this two-year option for study during Years 12 and 13.
Harrods University Foundation
The Harrods University Foundation is the second pathway to university education. This programme is terrific for students who wish to go on to study at international universities. Students can participate in a 9, 12 or 15-month programme to build a solid foundation for the university.
Harrods Secondary Certificate
The third pathway to university is Harrods Secondary Certificate. Students opt into this programme after Year 9, which spans Years 10 to 13. This path is recommended for students who plan to study at local universities. In addition, it’s possible to apply for HUF post-IPC if a student wishes to study abroad.
Once the student has advanced through International primary and secondary school, it’s time to make the choice for tertiary education. The staff at HIA is happy to provide more details about each programme so your child can make the best choice.
