The American education system encompasses 12 years of primary and secondary education, divided into elementary, middle, and high school levels, culminating in a High School Diploma for university admission.

 

Key Features:

• During the elementary and middle school years, students at Westcliff International School undergo internal evaluations, including a mix of exams, assignments, projects, and class participation.

• In the high school stage, internal assessments, assignments, projects, and class participation contribute to the calculation of the GPA (Grade Point Average).

• In addition to internal assessments, students are required to take standardised tests like the ACT or SAT, which are essential for university admissions.

• Test dates are predetermined, and students have multiple opportunities during high school to achieve the required scores for university entry.

• Successful completion of the American high school curriculum leads to the prestigious American High School Diploma.

• The diploma serves as a recognised qualification for admission to universities globally.

• Depending on faculty requirements, some students may choose to pursue SATII exams.
