Cambridge International A/Level is one of the most sought after and recognized qualifications in the world. For the past 50 years, Cambridge International A/Level qualifications have been proven to be accepted as evidence of academic ability for entry into Universities and other institutes of higher education. They are regarded as a passport to success in this fast changing modern world.
The Cambridge International Advanced Level qualification, provided by Cambridge International Examinations, is the only qualification in Sri Lanka which is backed by a University. This is none other than the UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, which is considered the number one University in the United Kingdom. Cambridge International Examinations is a Department of the University of Cambridge and is the world’s largest provider of International Education Programmes and qualifications for 5 to 19 year olds.

The Cambridge International AS and A Level Curriculum is typically for 16 to 19 year olds who are preparing for University entry or entry into seats of higher education. It builds on the foundations of the Cambridge Secondary 2 stage. Cambridge International AS and A/Levels are taken by over 175000 students in over 125 Countries in the World. Each year there are over 375000 entries for these Examinations.

A Cambridge education gives students a love of learning that will stay with them through school, University and even beyond. The Cambridge International AS and A/Level programme helps students to become CONFIDENT in working with information and ideas, RESPONSIBLE for themselves, REFLECTIVE as learners, INNOVATIVE and equipped for new challenges, and ENGAGED intellectually and socially – ready to make a difference. With Cambridge, your child is joining a community of learners from more than 9000 schools in over 160 countries.

Cambridge International AS and A/Levels develop in-depth subject knowledge and understanding, as well as independent learning and constructive thinking skills that Universities value. Cambridge International AS Level is typically a one-year course and Cambridge International A/Level is typically a two-year course. Some subjects can be started as a Cambridge International AS Level and extended to a Cambridge International A/Level. This flexible approach gives your child the freedom to broaden their learning.
Cambridge International A/Level qualifications help students hit the ground when they start University. They are recognized by Universities Worldwide, including in the UK, USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, INDIA, SINGAPORE, EGYPT, JORDAN, SOUTH AFRICA, NETHERLANDS, SPAIN AND MALAYSIA. Good Cambridge International A/Level grades can result in one year of University Course Credit in the USA and Canada. Over 450 Universities in the USA accept Cambridge International AS and A/Levels, including HARVARD, MIT, STANFORD and YALE.

Students have a wide choice of subjects. There are 55 subjects on offer across a variety of subject groups: English Language and English Literature; Mathematics; Science; Languages; Humanities and Social Science; Business, Technical and Vocational (including Food Studies which will be made available from June 2015). There are no compulsory subjects – so students can select subjects that match their interests and future career plans.

Cambridge puts learners right on top, giving them the power to choose subjects which motivate them throughout their studies. This develops a desire for knowledge and understanding, and skills in independent thinking; handling and evaluating information; thinking logically and presenting coherent arguments; making judgments, recommendations and decisions; and working and communicating in English. Hence many Private Sector Business Institutions look at Cambridge International AS and A/Level students as potential recruits into their establishments.

Cambridge International Examinations is always moving forward and listens to the needs of learners and schools around the world. Cambridge syllabuses are international in outlook but retain a local relevance. They have been created especially for international students so that they suit a wide spectrum of schools.
