The curriculum extends and excites all students, whatever their interests or ability. Through it, teachers are able to identify, celebrate and nurture the talents and intelligences of students.
British education is renowned for concerning itself with the development of the whole personality.
In the British education system, students are taught to learn by questioning, problem-solving and creative thinking rather than by the mere retention of facts, hence giving them analytical and creative thinking skills that they will need in the working world. A variety of teaching and assessment methods designed to develop independent thought as well as a mastery of the subject matter is used.
The National Curriculum of England has a clearly defined series of academic and other objectives at every level. mydrasa focuses on Key stage 3 (Year 7-9), Key stage 4 IGCSE/GCSE (Year 10-11) and Key stage 5 A-Level (Year 12-13).

Cambridge - Sciences - Coordinated (double) - 0654
Cambridge IGCSE Coordinated Sciences is a double award, worth two IGCSEs. It covers biology, chemistry and physics. Students are awarded two identical grades, e.g. AA or CC.
The curriculum content is set out in clearly defined biology, chemistry and physics sections, which are extensively cross-referenced to present subject content as a coherent scientific whole.
Teachers can reduce duplication of common themes, and also encourage students to see ideas common to all sciences, such as energy. Teaching in one subject reinforces another and stimulates interest in a third.
Candidates learn about the basic principles of each subject through a mix of theoretical and practical studies, while also developing an understanding of the scientific skills essential for further study.
The syllabus is aimed at candidates across a very wide range of abilities, and allows them to show success over the full range of grades from A*A* to GG.
