The High School Programme
At Khaldunia students are prepared for the O Level examination of the University of Cambridge. While recognizing the importance of the demands of public examinations at eh secondary level, Khaldunia does not believe in teaching just to exams: remaining within the broad parameters of the University’s syllabus and observing governmental regulations, we offer a broader curriculum embracing the two great learning traditions – the humanities and the sciences. Thus, a range of research projects, field trips, class presentations of research papers, and debates, science and art fairs to foster creativity are all integrated within the regular curriculum.
The O level programme is geared to cater for a wide range of subject choices. 9th Grade students are expected to take certain core subjects as well as several optional ones. To allow students to prepare for up to 10 O levels, they sit three compulsory subjects in the year prior to their finals, leaving them with the sciences and their optional papers in the final year in June.
Thus literature enthusiasts are able to pursue the sciences and budding scientists can take up the challenge of a diet of the arts – a growing requirement of good universities.
Interlinked with the core, students are exposed to the dramatic arts, music and Art/design and environmental conservation.
Physical education includes the basic concepts of health and hygiene as well as individual and team sports.
