OUR
Secondary Stage: IGCSE Secondary School in Sharjah
SIA SECONDARY STAGE CURRICULUM
The Secondary Stage at Scholars International Academy, one of the leading secondary schools in Sharjah, ensures that our learners are getting the advanced knowledge and skill sets that would enable them to graduate to the advanced Post 16 curriculum and gain acceptance at the top universities.
Once the learners graduate to the secondary programme, they are given a greater degree of autonomy and there is a renewed emphasis on developing advanced critical thinking skills to ensure that they excel in their academic careers. Our goal is to continue their personalised journey from the Early Years and Primary Stage program and motivate them to keep building on their past successes.
