What are the A Levels?

The A Levels at TLA 

Welcome to The Learn Academy’s comprehensive guide on A Levels, an exceptional academic pathway that opens doors to global opportunities. As a distinguished international school in Barcelona, we take pride in offering a distinctive A Levels program designed to empower students for success on a worldwide scale.

IALs, developed by Cambridge Assessment International Education, are globally recognised qualifications that have evolved from the traditional British A Level system, offering a flexible and in-depth study of subjects. Designed for international students, they provide rigorous preparation for university and beyond, emphasising critical thinking and independent learning.

Global Recognition:

 A Levels enjoy global acclaim, offering a passport to esteemed universities and diverse career paths around the world.

Specialised Learning:

A Levels allow students to specialise in their preferred subjects, fostering in-depth knowledge and expertise in their chosen fields.

Critical Thinking and Analysis:

The A Levels curriculum at The Learn Academy places a strong emphasis on critical thinking and problem-solving skills, equipping students with the tools they need to excel in an ever-changing world.

How do the A Levels differ from the IB (International Baccalaureate)?

While the International Baccalaureate (IB) is an excellent program, A Levels offer a unique approach to education that allows students to focus intensively on a smaller selection of subjects. This specialization provides a deeper exploration and understanding of each topic, making it ideal for students who have a clear sense of their academic interests and career goals or who are aiming for top grades. By choosing subjects they enjoy and excel in, students can reach their highest academic potential and open doors to more opportunities after school. Play to your strengths—don’t struggle with subjects that don’t spark your interest.

Access the Same Opportunities as IB Graduates

While A Levels offer a different structure from the IB program, they provide students with access to the same prestigious universities and career opportunities globally. The Learn Academy ensures that our A Levels graduates are well-equipped to pursue their desired paths, achieving academic excellence and unlocking a world of possibilities.
