Courses

National Curriculum for England / three terms / IGCSE & A-Levels / avg. class of 17, 9:1 ratio

Epsom follows the National Curriculum for England, operating on a three-term academic calendar. Students complete the IGCSE program in Years 10 and 11, then progress to A-Levels in Years 12 and 13 (Sixth Form), which open pathways to top universities worldwide. Epsom also offers an accelerated 15-month Fast-Track A-Level option. With small class sizes (average of 17) and a low student-to-teacher ratio (around 9:1), students receive personal academic support from predominantly UK-trained international educators.
