Upper Secondary School (Grades 10-12)– Preparing for entrance to Swiss, international universities and colleges.
In Upper Secondary School the academic program is geared to prepare our students for their areas of future studies at the college and university level:
- Students select three to four main subjects aligned with their interests and career aspirations.
- At the end of this stage, they take the international A-Level examinations, internationally regarded as a benchmark qualification for university entry.
- A-Levels provide in-depth preparation for higher education and future careers by focusing on specific subject areas.
In our school environment, upper secondary school students enjoy the opportunity to be leaders in all facets of the School. They are students who are curious learners, preparing for college and beyond. Each student engages in an enriching curriculum, continues to grow their talents, increases their confidence levels, and imagines the possibilities that await them after their time in upper secondary school.
At BKA, students form lifelong friendships that will carry them through their lives. During their time in Upper School, our students cultivate meaningful, individualized relationships with teachers and advisors.
