Home / Student Criteria

For ExceleratedPath, it is important to establish admission criteria that ensure students are academically prepared to succeed in a rigorous learning environment. While Cambridge International does not impose strict academic entry requirements, it recommends that students possess the appropriate knowledge and skills for the level of study.

Cambridge IGCSE is generally designed for learners aged 14–16 years, while International AS Level is typically undertaken by students aged 16–17 years who have completed an IGCSE, GCSE, or an equivalent qualification. The following admission criteria present a standard that ensures students are positioned for success.
