At LANNA the final 2 years are packed full of important study programmes and activities that not only allow students to apply to a wide range of top universities around the world but also develop skills and qualities which enable them to become happy and successful young adults. Classes are small, attention is individual and guidance is personal for each student.

Advanced Level Examinations (“A” Levels)

“A” Levels are the most challenging university entrance exam in the world. Three exam passes at Grade A can gain access to the finest universities worldwide. Students can choose between 2 – 4 “A” Level subjects from a menu of 17. All students sit the General Studies Paper exam.

Students can choose from a wide range of programmes, from traditional academic subjects to modern subjects such as Travel and Tourism and Business Studies.

All programmes are academically rigorous and require a high degree of self motivation and academic ability. Find out much more about courses offered, plus details about IGCSE courses in Years 10 and 11, here.

Students also graduate with a full American style School Transcript and Grade Point Average, as well as their British exam results.

SAT and IELTS Preparation

SAT is a “standardised aptitude test” widely used for college/ university admissions in the United States. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers. �ڰ������� school students can choose to follow a programme of study that prepares them for both the SAT and IELTS examinations.

Students can choose to follow a programme of study which prepares them for both of these important exams.

•    Plan, train for and undertake an adventurous journey with a defined purpose in    an unfamiliar environment.
•    Develop a personal skill.
•    Develop a sport or physical activity.
•    Complete a Community Service Project.
•    Undertake a Residential Project (Gold Award Only).

Each level becomes more challenging and requires increasing commitment.

Community Service Learning

Students can pursue a variety of Community Service Learning projects.

Each student aims to complete a minimum of 60 Hrs Community Service per year, although in some cases students have achieved much more than this.

Students design their own learning programmes under staff supervision, which includes identifying skills they wish to extend and learning aims they want to achieve. Once projects have been agreed it is the responsibility of students to carry them out. The project concludes with a formal presentation to the rest of the group.

College and Careers Programme

During Y12 and Y13 students meet with the School Counsellor twice a week as part of a programme which prepares them for university, onward careers and life beyond school.

Students meet in small tutorial groups to research college and university options as well as large year groups for formal presentations. There is a busy programme of guest speakers, university presentations and workshop seminars. Students are regularly taken to local Education Fairs and presentations.
