Sixth Form
Everlasting opportunity
Key Stage 5 consists of two academic years for young people between the ages of 16 and 18 (Year 12 and Year 13 – 1st and 2nd of Baccalaureate). _
Throughout Year 12 and Year 13, students at ESA study between four and five subjects of their choice to prepare them for their future university courses. We have a team of counsellors to advise each student on their options, taking into account their individual needs and personal strengths.
With this in mind, from Year 11 the students attend workshops, individual meetings and take specific tests so they can get to know themselves better and ultimately make better informed choices.
THE SUBJECTS WE OFFER
Year 12 & 13
We also organise visits to universities and university fairs so our students can find out first-hand the wide range of courses on offer.
As well as their academic work, Year 12 and 13 students manage our house competitions, and this experience goes a long way when applying to universities. In addition, it gives them the skills of planning and organising, which will be of great use in their future. From 16 to 18 years of age, we aim to prepare our students for university.
The Key Stage 5 curriculum combines the Advanced Level (A Level) subjects from the British curriculum and the Tests of Specific Competence (PCE) subjects from the Spanish curriculum. _
In Key Stage 5, students choose the subjects they wish to study according to their interests, their performance at IGCSE and the university courses they’re considering. Their choices are based on advice and academic guidance from their teachers, so they make the most appropriate decision in each case.
