Dear Parents

I extend my warm greetings and felicitations for choosing The British School for your child. The University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), which offers the renowned international 'A' level qualification, is creating a new 'Indian Studies' syllabus. "We want it to be relevant both locally and internationally." The consultant will meet representatives of the Indian schools affiliated to the CIE to discuss what the new syllabus should include. The international body is also collaborating with the Central Board of Secondary Education, Delhi to create the new courses. The new syllabus will be offered at the IGCSE level, equivalent to Standard X, from 2010-2011. It will introduce students to Indian history, culture, geography, environment and development and teach them to examine different interpretations of historical events. While it will cater to the growing Indian clientiele opting for an international quality education, the new course is also aimed at Indian expatriates in the UK and around the world. In fact, the Singapore educational system, with its large Indian population, has shown a lot of interest in the new course. You will enjoy seeing your child having rich, fulfilling and happy years of Learning experience at The British School.
