SWA Values

In Grades 6 to 10, the syllabus from Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) is integrated within the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) curriculum framework. The school shapes the curriculum according to national requirements and to the school’s Asian cultural identity. Teachers assess student learning internally using standards set by IB and CIE with students prepared to take CIE checkpoint exams at the end of Grade 8. Similarly, Grade 10 students have the opportunity to take the IGCSE exams that are assessed by CIE.

In Grades 11 & 12, students follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, where the curriculum and assessment procedures are prescribed in detail in order to meet the requirements for university entrance around the world. The DP is a comprehensive two-year curriculum that leads to examinations and also makes provision for students to increase their awareness and understanding of the connections between academic disciplines they are engaged in every day and the real world.
