Syllabus (O level, A level, IP, IGCSE, IB)
Note: Do not worry about the syllabus sequence. Many students have different syllabus. We do not follow the syllabus in a linear sequence. Every 1 or 2 weeks we will discuss together with all the students in each class which chapter to cover in the following week. Topics will be covered according to the student's syllabus in the school.
