Education

To ensure a personalised and flexible curriculum, the school is divided into three departments.

  1. Academics and Humanities
  2. Performing and Visual Arts
  3. Creative Industries

Each department is led by a head of department whose job it is to monitor teaching and learning, curriculum coverage and cross-departmental teaching. Students may find that they study subject areas across departments or choose subjects that are the responsibility of a single department.

Academics and Humanities

International General Certificate of
Secondary Education

At Middle Secondary level, Years 10 and 11 (14 – 16 years old), students choose up to 10 subjects to study for their IGCSEs. Students select these subjects in Term three of Year 9 allowing them plenty of experience in the classroom in order to make informed decisions. Selections include a minimum of six compulsory academic subjects and a number of optional subjects, choosing from a diverse range of 22 IGCSE subjects. We offer a range of five languages out of which a Year 9 student can select up to two.

Performing and Visual Arts

IGCSE and A Level

Students will enjoy course within this faculty if they have an interest in developing broad skills, knowledge and understanding based on the practical needs and concerns of the performing arts, TV and film industries. They will have the opportunity to specialise in either performance or production support and gather a knowledge of the methods used by professionals working in teams and with clients, commissioners and audiences.

BTEC

The Pearson BTEC Awards in Performing Arts are for learners who want to acquire technical knowledge and technical skills through vocational contexts by studying acting, dance or musical theatre as part of their learning. The  qualification recognises the value of learning skills, knowledge and vocational attributes to complement
IGCSEs. The qualification will broaden the learners experience and understanding of the varied progression options available to them.

Creative Industries

Whether they are a fledgling engineer or dreaming of working in digital media, BTEC courses will help develop students’ employability skills, including communication, self-motivation and working to deadlines. The modular format of vocational courses allows students to work across a number of different platforms and mediums, thus immediately developing transferable knowledge and the ability to learn and adapt, Assignments mimic professional practice, enabling students to improve time management and organisational disciplines.”

IGCSE Advanced Level

Da Vinci International College aims to offers a range of AS (Advanced Subsidiary) and A-Level (Advanced Level) qualifications.

Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC)

BTECs are an increasingly popular alternative to A-Levels (Advanced Level) and are recognises by universities and employers around the world. BTECs are practical-based, vocational qualifications which provide the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a field or subject and are a viable alternative to the more theory-focused, classroom-based ways of learning.

At Da Vinci, we aim to offer Level 3 BTECs, where each one is equivalent to an A-Level. If we see that at least five students are interested in completing a BTEC course in a specific subject area, we will do all we can to open that course.

BTECs are undertaken in vocational subjects ranging from business studies to engineering.

Examples of qualifications that  may be considered at Da Vinci include:

01  

Applied Science

02  

Applied Psychology

03  

Art & Design

04  

Business

05  

Computing
