The following syllabus structures the Spanish course in such a way that students will reach the required proficiency of the target language (Spanish) after completion of the whole program to successfully pass IGCSE/GCSE exams. The program is divided in 3 yearly courses with a significant change after completion of the 3rd course, where students, according Cambridge

Curriculum, will be able to pass the GCSE and IGCSE examination.
