2011 (November) ISCT Cambridge Results (AS & A level)

We are happy with the results of our 2011 A level group who have achieved 100% A –D grades and the larger AS group who achieved 100% A-E grades in this year’s Cambridge exams. This includes 23% A passes and 52% A’s to B’s.

Well done to them all.

Three of our A level students have secure places at the University of Cape Town reading Sciences or Engineering. Their courses begin in February. Two have applied to study at universities in the UK, and two are planning college studies in the United States.

We wish them all the best.

2010 (November) ISCT does it again – Brilliance awards

The High School staff at the International  School of Cape Town have been on something of a high this week as we have shared in the glory of our AS and A level students’ successes.

Their IGCSE results a couple of years back were a good indicator that we were in for a good set of results and, to their credit, the A level classes of 2010 also had a good work ethic. This, along with the excellent teaching received by our staff,  meant that we have three out of the full complement of 16 AS students achieving straight As and another two achieving 3 As and a B. Our top A level student, Matthew Winfield, achieved a startling 3 A*s for Mathematics, Biology and English Literature. No mean feat!

We are anticipating having at least a couple of CIE High Achiever Awards for the 2010 Cambridge exam session.

In Mathematics, 6 out of our 13 AS entries achieved A grades and in English Language /Literature 7 out of 14 students did the same. This is unprecedented at ISCT. Our ‘bottom’ end was also encouragingly very small as our 99% pass rate (A –E grades) shows.  In fact 61% of our individual syllabus entries gained A and B grades!

All in all, this has been a bumper year, we are proud of our wonderful 2010 class, wishing them all the best as they go on to tertiary heights. They have set a new ISCT standard that will be quite a daunting challenge to meet or beat! We, at ISCT, (at this heady moment, anyway) feel up to the challenge!

ISCT named as top award‐achieving school in South Africa!
Cambridge has recently announced its Brilliance awards for the 2008 IGCSE and AS/A level exams in South Africa.
