What is Cambridge examination?

Examinations conducted by
Cambridge University U.K.
( World’s Best no.2 University in 2007)
It is well recognized to enroll in education institutions around the world

- In Indonesia, only IGCSE and “A “ level exams are available
IGCSE = International General Certificate for Secondary Education
It is recognized as a world class examination bench mark for secondary students
Taken by Year 10 students.
IGCSE certificate entitles students to enroll to college/foundation program

“A Level” = Advanced Level
It is used to certify that students have passed a higher secondary education, and ready to enter university.
( If you get 3 ‘A’ marks on “A level” exams, you will be able to enroll to Cambridge University, UK)

“A Level” consists of 2 sub levels :
nAS (Advanced Subsidiary) level, taken by Year 11 students
nA2 level, taken by Year 12 students
nAS + A2 marks = “A level” marks
nStudents can also directly take “ A level “ exam

Why do we choose IGCSE ?

1. It helps to build up John Paul’s Image as a “world class quality school”.
It is proven that our students can pass this world class examination, not just national examination.
This image becomes very important to attract more students to study at John Paul’s (especially Junior High + Senior High).
Also, it helps to encourage teachers and students to always reach the IGCSE benchmark.
John Paul’s has an alternative way to graduate from Secondary School (Other than National System) with certificate recognized all over the world, this is the advantage of studying at John Paul’s Senior High (especially for students want to study abroad).

2. The IGCSE syllabus are not difficult for both students and teachers. So we can achieve high marks with reasonable effort.

3. IGCSE certificate is the shortest and easiest way to enter university. All the IGCSE graduates can enroll to colleges/ foundation, who then can continue their studies to university level.

In USA, students can enroll to colleges
In Singapore, students can enroll to colleges and polytechnics
In Indonesia, students can enroll to colleges

For example, Monash College, Monash University Foundation Program, Inti College, UNSW foundation, RMIT foundation (requirements of minimum 5 subjects and ‘C’ marks).

Why do we enroll university by study at college / foundation program ?

It is easier to get excellent marks in College/Foundation Program, because in College/Foundation Program they have to study less subjects ( max 5 subjects ) compared with regular high school ( more than 7 subjects ). So if we can achieve good marks, it will be easier to enroll at good universities abroad.

Study at college /foundation program relatively faster ( It takes about 6-10 months ) , rather than study at regular high school
( it takes about 1-2 years). This condition apply for year 10 students.

In College / Foundation program, we can choose to study only subjects which are necessary to enroll in to certain programs in the university.
