The Senior School forms the academic core of King’s College Wimledon Ho Chi Minh City. As pupils enter their secondary years, learning becomes increasingly analytical and reflective, with subjects explored in greater depth. Pupils develop the habits of study, confidence and intellectual maturity required for IGCSE and Sixth Form.
Pupils begin their senior school careers following a broad curriculum with subjects taught by specialist teachers. The curriculum is modelled on the enhanced UK National Curriculum and forms a strong foundation for increasing specialism later in their studies.
The curriculum consists of:
Deepening Understanding and Academic Precision
The IGCSE pathway provides pupils with a structured programme through which knowledge is consolidated and understanding deepened. Teaching encourages careful thinking, critical analysis and growing confidence in working with complex ideas across different subjects.
Learning develops through thoughtfully sequenced study, supported by extended writing, analytical work and practical investigation in the sciences. As pupils progress, they encounter increasingly demanding problems and begin to take greater responsibility for revision and study.
Through this process, pupils develop the habits of study, independence and intellectual stamina required for success in the Sixth Form. Pupils will be expected to take 9 IGCSE subjects and the programme is as follows:
Examined
Not Examined
In the Senior School, the Personal Enrichment Programme (PEP) broadens pupils experiences beyond the academic curriculum. It provides structured opportunities for pupils to explore interests more deeply, develop leadership and contribute meaningfully to the life of the School and the wider community.
PEP opportunities may include:
Through these experiences, pupils develop the confidence, responsibility and character that prepare them for the world beyond school.
Confidence, Readiness and Informed Choice
The transition to Sixth Form is carefully supported through guidance on study habits, subject choices and future plans. Pupils are encouraged to reflect on their strengths, develop effective approaches to learning and consider their emerging university and career interests. By the time pupils enter the Sixth Form, they are well prepared - academically and personally - for the greater independence, intellectual depth and ambition of advanced study
