.
The school aims for the prestigious ICE Certification which means that students would have to offer a minimum of seven (7) subjects from all the Subject-Groups, plus an additional language rather than a maximum of five-(5) subjects that leads to the award of an IGCSE certificate.
The competencies outlined by the CIE area clearly stated in their syllabi and the Departmental schemes and plans are derived from them. In Groups 3 and 4, candidates are expected to calculate, define and describe; investigate, judge and draw conclusions among other things. In Groups 1 and 2 the ability to select, organize and use information is particularly sought for as they are in Group 5.In addition to these core skills, the supplementary ones of analyses, syntheses and evaluation which ensure the much coveted grades of A*- C are what teaching will lead to.
In the run up to subject choices by students in the third term of Year 9, the IGCSE Secondary Head teacher and the Vice-Principal will guide students through the selection process through explanations and reference to student precedents. Emphases will be laid on future careers, our stated mission and students desire to explore other subjects.
The vision to establish Merton International Primary and High School was a singular one. It was to produce a top breed of citizens capable of responding to the complexity of our millennium through the impact they would make in their local communities. The mission, matchless in its import, was careful to make the school a theocentric one while ensuring the human effort that crafted a robust curriculum to produce an end game of skills and knowledge, sensitivity towards humanity and making sincere, the much touted stewardship to the environment. Established in 1998, Merton International Primary and High School profiles a student body who are buoyant in their physical activity keen in their cognitive reception practical in their application and pliant to the values that underscore the finest qualities of the World Citizen.
