Sixth Form
Sixth Form at St. George's British International School
We pride ourselves on ensuring that we nurture and guide the students' journey through the school and there is no more important point than the Sixth Form when students have to make relevant decisions about their future studies and are getting ready for life beyond St. George's. Their development as independent learners, as respectful and tolerant individuaIs will be shaped in the Sixth Form. This of course is a responsibility we consider of central importance to our aims. The path students select both in their subject choices and in the skills and values they develop is guided and encouraged by our staff.
A successful sixth form is shaped by ensuring that the students feel part of a community in which they can be heard and shaped. The Sixth Form leadership team is just one way we achieve this. However, all students that enter our Year 12 are role models to our younger students. This of course is a responsibility but one which will bring opportunities and enriching experiences.
These experiences are varied, ranging from international events and activities with other students from the Globeducate network of schools around the world to our Duke of Edinburgh Diploma, and all of them are aimed at making our students global citizens capable of changing the world and successfully addressing the challenges of the 21st century.
Curriculum
Any student who aspires to join our Sixth Form must demonstrate a high degree of self-discipline and motivation and be prepared to put in the maximum effort in order to succeed with their goals. Our Sixth Form programme incorporates four subject options at A-Level and two Spanish PCE options. Consequently, students will be allowed to prepare for between three and four A-Levels plus 2 EBAU subjects in order to obtain additionally the 'Título de Bachiller' through convalidation of their studies with the UNED credit known as 'acceso a la universidad'.
Our A Level curriculum opens doors to the future for our students, whichever pathway they choose, giving access to universities in Spain, the UK, the EU, the USA and beyond. Access to Spanish universities (public or private) through A Levels is guaranteed on equal terms with students from Spanish schools.
Life at Sixth Form
In addition to taking British A-Levels, which open doors to prestigious Spanish and international universities, St. George's students have access to a wide range of enriching experiences beyond the classroom that will prepare them far a successful life after school.
Student wellbeing
To ensure our students are able to reach their potential we will support them at each step, and students' wellbeing has to be placed above anything else; we know the challenges they face and these are met by our strong pastoral program and a staff ready and willing to listen.
Students at St. George's can choose their A-Level courses from a wide range of subject options.
