Choose a learning stage

The school directory covers early years, primary, O-Level and A-Level pathways. Entry levels are listed on each campus page. For transfers, ask which level matches your child’s previous schooling and what evidence the school needs for placement.

Project-based learning

TEC describes nine practical courses using research, interviews and prototypes. Topics include DNA, entrepreneurship, journalism and malaria prevention. Students work together to investigate problems and present possible solutions.

Questions about the curriculum

Ask the school for its current subject list, assessment arrangements and language expectations at the intended entry level. For A-Level, request the approved subject combinations and the results needed for consideration. Confirm learning resources or additional support with the school before choosing a pathway.

Preparing for a school conversation

Have the child’s current class, most recent school report and intended start period ready. Explain any change of curriculum or language of instruction. Share support needs through an appropriate private conversation with the school rather than through a public message.

Progression and next steps

Completing one stage does not confirm a place at another campus. Ask about transfer arrangements, entry requirements and available intakes. Use the school-specific academics pages to keep the chosen campus in view.
