High School at QES marks a defining stage in a student’s academic and personal journey. It is a time of growth, discovery, and increasing independence, where learners are encouraged to think deeply, engage critically, and take ownership of their goals. With a strong foundation built through the early years and middle school, students enter high school ready to explore their interests, refine their strengths, and shape the direction of their future.
Our high school curriculum is aligned with globally respected pathways, including the Cambridge IGCSE, AS and A Levels, as well as Edexcel qualifications.
These programmes are rigorous and flexible, offering a breadth and depth of study that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset required to succeed at top universities and in diverse career fields around the world.
At this stage, learning becomes more personalised and inquiry-driven. Students are supported in developing independent study habits, effective time management, and critical research and analysis skills.
Teachers guide and mentor them in setting academic goals, reflecting on their progress, and building the resilience to overcome challenges. Learning extends beyond the classroom, with opportunities to apply knowledge through practical work, collaborative projects, debates, and real-world problem solving.
Equally important is the development of character and global awareness, Through leadership roles, service initiatives, and meaningful conversations, students grow into thoughtful, responsible young adults who understand the value of integrity, empathy, and ethical decision-making.
They are encouraged to reflect on who they are, what they stand for, and the kind of contribution they want to make in an ever-changing world.
High school at QES is not only a time of academic preparation but also one of self-discovery and vision. Our graduates leave not just with qualifications, but with confidence, purpose, and the readiness to thrive in higher education and beyond.
