About the Courses
A-Level
Brookhurst International school provides the Cambridge accredited A-Levels. Learners at this stage are preparing for university study. We offer both variations of A-Level, AS and A2. AS levels are basically half an A-Level. The student studies for 1 year (Year 12) giving a broad understanding of a subject but not in as much detail. AS levels are standalone courses, taken alongside – rather than as part of – A-levels. This means that they won’t form part of an overall A-level grade. So you’ll only take your AS exams at the end of your first year and you’ll need to take all the exams for your A-levels at the end of the two-year course.
A-Level A2 courses have been specifically designed to be delivered in a linear fashion over the two years of sixth form. External examinations taken at the end of Year 13 assess the full two years of sixth form study and lead to the award of an A level. Most students will study 3-4 A level courses in their Year 12 and continue with all these courses to their Year 13. In Year 13 students can continue with four subjects or they may choose to study three subjects at this level depending on university or career aspirations.
Why Study A-Level?
The teaching of A-Level students is focused more on developing research, analytical, collaborative and communication skills among learners. A person may ask “Why should my child study A-level?’. Well, here are reasons why A-Level works well for your child:
1. Access to any University worldwide- A-level are recognized and accepted globally giving students access to the university of their choice. We have graduated multiple students into numerous universities spread over 42 countries.
2. Ability to focus on what you prefer- A-Levels allow students to choose their subjects of choice with no compulsory subjects for selection. Students focus on what they are passionate about and excel in it. Students at this level enjoy learning hence improving their chances of success. Students are able to focus on subjects that are specific to their university entry studies and future profession.
3. Required for Specific University Course- Specific university courses require A-levels for entry into their programs. These courses include:
• Veterinary science- Biology and one or two subjects from chemistry, mathematics or physics
• Medicine- Chemistry, biology and either mathematics or physics
• Computer Science- Mathematics
• Dentistry- Chemistry, biology and either mathematics or physics
• English- English literature
Subject Choices:
Brookhurst International School A-Level offers a range of subjects – primarily the ‘facilitating subjects’- those most commonly required or preferred for entry into particular courses at universities.
Mathematics Physics
Sociology
Psychology
History Economics
French Literature
Physical Education
English Language
Religious Studies
Biology
Law
Applied ICT
Drama
Fine Art
Chemistry
Geography
Music
Business Studies
Design & Technology
The subject combinations that Brookhurst is able to offer are based upon our own research and our own experience of the sort of subject combinations which students choose. Although flexibility is a priority, it is important to note that not all combinations of subjects are possible, just as some are undesirable. If subject choices do not fit in the required combination they should have a discussion with our head of sixth form and the admissions team and they will be guided accordingly.
Entry Requirements:
Although the requirements detailed below are the normal requirements. There may be special circumstances where they are not rigidly applied. The sole criterion overall is that a student studying a particular AS/A level subject should be likely to benefit from the course and achieve a pass grade at the end of the course. Obviously, when places are limited, priority has to be given to students who have met the requirements. The minimum IGCSE requirements for entrance to Year 12 fall into two categories: general requirements and subject-specific requirements. If a student wishes to enroll with us from the local Kenyan System, an average of C+ at KCSE is required. Students with lower grades are considered but might be required to sit for an entrance exam.
General Requirements
A minimum of 5 A* - C grades at IGCSE, which should include Mathematics and English. A good academic and behavioral record prior to entry.
Subject-specific requirements
A*-B grade in the subjects students wish to take at AS/A level. GROUP

What is the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP)?
Established in 1968, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) was the first programme offered by the IB and is taught to students aged 16-19. The IBDP was established to provide a challenging and comprehensive education that would enable students to understand and manage the complexities of our world and provide them with skills and attitudes for taking responsible action for the future. Such an education was rooted in the belief that people who are equipped to make a more just and peaceful world need an education that crosses disciplinary, cultural, national and geographical boundaries. The Diploma Programme (DP) is a 2-year curriculum. Through career guidance counselors at Brookhurst, IBDP provides course selection guidance to students when choosing subjects. There are 6 subject groups that students can choose a subject from: Language and literature, language acquisition, individuals and societies, sciences, mathematics and arts. On top of the six subjects, a student is also required to do 3 core subjects namely: Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, activity and service (CAS) and Extended Essay (EE).
A student can take some of the subjects at Standard level (SL) and the rest at higher level (HL) though a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 can be done at Higher level (HL). For the attainment of the diploma, a student is expected to have a minimum of 150 and 240 learnings hours for both SL and HL respectively. The core subjects need to have a minimum of 100 hours.

Lincy Wambui, Class of 2018
California State University - USA, California Bsc. Information Technology
Brookhurst nurtured in me a strong sense of discipline that shaped my character as a student as well as a person. Character and hard work are crucial values the school imbues and transmits into all of us. I will fondly remember how we used our never give up attitude and discipline in the classroom and in winning Brookhurst’s first ever major football trophy. These memories are what I cherish most from my time at school. Time really does fly by so fast while you are in school. Class of 2017 for life; we are Brookhurst, we are family
