IGCSE Program (Grades 9 & 10)
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is a high profile qualification recognized by Universities and institutes of higher education around the world. It is equivalent to 9th & 10th Grades of Indian national curricula ICSE and CBSE and equivalent in standard to the British GCSE and International GCSE O level Examinations. The IGCSE is a balanced International Curriculum which is designed to encourage high academic standards through a practical approach to teaching and learning.
Treamis is known as a top IGCSE international school in Bangalore, offering a globally relevant education that prepares students for success in higher studies and beyond.
The inquiry into every aspect of the learning and the application of the concepts learned at IGCSE provides a foundation for higher level courses including AS and A levels. Extending the IGCSE programme with additional subjects will lead to AICE diploma.
The curriculum consists of a two years course of study leading to an examination which is typically taken at the end of Grade 10. Students can get entry into Universities / Colleges in some countries on obtaining exceptional grades at IGCSE.

International Certificate of Education (ICE) Award
The IGCSE Examination is taken as a qualification towards International Certificate of Education (ICE). The ICE is awarded to the candidate who clears at least seven IGCSE subjects.
- Two subjects from the language group.
- One from each of the other four groups.
- One more from any of the five groups.
Students who qualify for the Cambridge ICE award will be placed in one of three categories:
- Distinction – Grade A or better in five subjects and grade C or better in two subjects.
- Merit – Grade C or better in five subjects and grade F or better in two subjects.
- Pass – Grade G or better in seven subjects.
An important benefit that Cambridge ICE offers is that students can demonstrate competence across a wide range of subjects and skills. Cambridge ICE carries greater currency in its own right in those countries where it is popular.
AS Level
Advanced Subsidiary Level:
The AS level is awarded to the candidate who clears minimum four subjects including subjects from Group 1 and any three from the remaining options.
Students enrolling in Mathematics should choose a specialization subject from the following.
- Mathematics, Mechanics
- Mathematics, Probability and Statistics
- Mathematics
Mathematics together with a specialization subject makes one whole unit.
Advanced Level:
The A2 level is awarded to the candidate who clears a minimum of any three subjects from the above options.
Students enrolling in Mathematics should choose a specialization subject from the following.
- Mathematics, Mechanics, Probability and Statistics.
- Mathematics, Mechanics, extended Mechanics

Choosing the subjects:
Parents and students should check the minimum subject requirements (prerequisites) of the Universities and the departments they plan to seek admission after the completion of A Level. Choosing the right subjects will help them achieve their academic & career goals.
Diploma:
An A Level would count as a double-credit qualification and an AS Level as a full (single) credit course within the Cambridge AICE Diploma award framework.
Structured approach to obtaining Diploma:
- Take all A Level components in the same examination session at the end of the course of study, most normally the end of the second year
- Follow a staged assessment to A Level by taking the Advanced Subsidiary qualification in one examination session, and the final part of assessment in a subsequent session
- Take the AS Level only
The structure of the International A Level is such that co-teaching of students following both AS and A Level routes is possible.
A Level
A level is a two-year program from CAIE after the completion of IGCSE. It provides a strong foundation for University education and is accepted as a proof of academic ability by the Universities all over the world. An A Level course is probably the most in-depth and thorough preparation for university, medical college or employment that a school can give its students.
The A Level is a 2-year program at Treamis. The subject content of each A Level syllabus has been subdivided into two parts
The AS syllabus content which is expected to be covered in the first half of the course (one year or two semesters) and part 2 of the syllabus, commonly referred to as A2 which will be covered in the second half.
A level examinations are equivalent to 12th standard examinations of other curriculum Boards in India. Students should have completed tenth grade or its equivalent in order to be eligible for enrolment in AS Level.
