The Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level curriculum emphasizes not only on learning but also focuses in ensuring fl exibility. Instruction in these subjects will be student-centred. Subjects offered are at the H1 and H2 levels, depending on the capability of students. H2 is equivalent to the previous Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level subjects in terms of academic demand and rigor. H1 subject has about half the content of H2, but the content would be studied to the same depth as it is at H2. This tiered structure provides the opportunity for students to achieve their personal peaks of excellence.

This 2-year programme is widely recognized and valued by employers, education authorities and institutions of higher education throughout the world. The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) is the examining authority for subjects in English. Similar to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE O-Level, the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level Examinations is also a MOE and SEAB-approved programme.
