Choosing between Kenya’s CBC system and IGCSE can shape your child’s entire academic future. Let’s break down what makes each unique.

IGCSE offers internationally recognized qualifications designed for global mobility and diverse learning environments.

🌍 CBC vs IGCSE: What’s the Difference? 📚

CBC Appeals To:

Parents seeking locally relevant educationFamilies planning to stay within Kenya’s education systemStudents who thrive with hands-on, project-based learningParents looking for affordable quality education

IGCSE Appeals To:

Expatriate families and internationally mobile parentsParents considering overseas universities for their childrenFamilies planning to relocate abroadStudents aiming for global university admissions

IGCSE combines coursework, practicals, and final examinations - perfect for students who excel in structured testing environments.

🔹 Subject Offerings

CBC Subjects:

Core subjects: English, Kiswahili, Mathematics, Science, Social StudiesOptional subjects: Foreign languages, Creative Arts, Sports & PECareer pathways from Grade 7 onwards
