Features of the IGCSE Course for middle school students

Nisai is a fully online international school accredited by Cambridge International. The Cambridge program offered by Nisai is designed to cultivate and develop skills necessary for global citizens, including:

• Problem-solving skills
• Critical thinking
• Independent research
• Collaboration
• Debate
• Presentation skills

Additionally, the most significant learning outcomes of the IGCSE program are the development of:

• Critical thinking
• Inquiry-based learning
• Problem-solving skills

The IGCSE program is an online course for students aged 14 to 16 (middle school students), with two years of study. Each learning program follows the UK curriculum and is designed to prepare students for Key Stage 5 AS and A-Level (high school) progression. Classes are conducted through live online sessions in English. IGCSE is one of the most popular international qualifications globally and is equivalent to completing the third year of middle school to the first year of high school in Japan. Some international schools adopting the International Baccalaureate (IB) also incorporate the Cambridge IGCSE into their middle school curriculum as a precursor to the IBDP. Holding an IGCSE qualification proves advantageous for both overseas university admissions and employment opportunities. Available subjects include:

• English（First Language）
• English（Second Language）
• Maths
• Maths- Additional
• Science（Foundation）
• Science（Double Award）
• Economics
• Business Studies
• Sociology
• Environmental Management

Through these subjects, students efficiently develop their skills, and understanding of specialized knowledge. IGCSE exams can be taken in individual subjects, and since all subjects are taught in English, you also serve as a strong language tool, beneficial for examinations.

Classes are mostly scheduled for late afternoon onwards, allowing for after-school attendance. One of Nisai's strengths is providing equivalent international education while students attend schools in Japan. In recent years, with the increasing number of homeschooling students, daytime classes are gradually being offered.

Currently, there is a growing number of students attending Nisai while remaining enrolled in public or private schools, opting for homeschooling. Some students aim to enter both Japanese and foreign high schools from the middle school stage, choosing to enroll or transfer to Nisai.

The "IGCSE Course" is highly recommended not only for Japanese middle school students who want to improve their English proficiency but also for returnees and those familiar with English from international school experiences.

As the number of returnees and individuals with international school experiences is increasing, there is a demand for programs and classes that cater to their English language needs.

The IGCSE course is recommended in such cases. The everyday English proficiency required in IGCSE is at least CEFR B1 level (Eiken Grade 2 or equivalent). Furthermore, the English proficiency required for discussions and exploratory learning in class is very academic.

It is also suitable for afterschool learning for returnee students attending domestic schools or those with international school experience. Being fully online, Nisai offers easy access to afterschool classes.

Additionally, during summer vacation, it is possible to participate in the "Short-term Online Study Abroad (Summer School) Program" and learn with overseas students from home. For more details, please contact us.
