Sixth Form at BIAM
Your Pathway to Global Universities Starts Here
At British International Academy Marrakech (BIAM), the Sixth Form marks the beginning of the final and most transformative stage of a student’s secondary education. Spanning Years 12 and 13, this post-16 programme offers students the opportunity to specialise in subjects aligned with their academic strengths, career ambitions, and university goals.
Students who have completed their IGCSEs at BIAM—or an equivalent international programme—can choose to study for A-Level qualifications, the internationally recognised standard for university entry.
Sixth Form at BIAM is built on the English National Curriculum – Key Stage 5, with an emphasis on academic rigour, critical thinking, and independent learning. It’s a time when students deepen their knowledge, take ownership of their learning, and prepare for life at university and beyond.
Studying A-Levels at BIAM
A-Levels are advanced subject-based qualifications that universities across the UK, Europe, North America, and the rest of the world recognise and value. These two-year courses culminate in external exams taken in Year 13, which play a key role in university admissions.
Students begin by selecting three to four A-Level subjects in Year 12, and may take an AS Level in one or more subjects depending on their academic track. The curriculum is delivered by specialist teachers, often using dual-teaching models in subjects like English and Maths to offer different teaching approaches and enrich understanding.

Examination Board
At BIAM, students sit examinations through the internationally recognised Edexcel International A Levels (IAL) examination board.
Choosing the Right Subjects
A-Levels require dedication and a passion for the chosen subjects. They are more challenging than IGCSEs and demand greater independence and self-discipline. At BIAM, we provide individual academic guidance to help students make informed decisions based on their interests, strengths, and intended university pathways.
Tip for students:
If you have a future career or degree in mind (e.g., medicine, architecture, law), it’s essential to choose subjects that universities require for those fields.
