At Al-Hikmah Kids Academy, we prepare secondary students for both GCSE and IGCSE examinations.

However, we are not an accredited exam centre. This means that parents need to register their children for the GCSE/IGCSE exams at an approved exam centre.

To help with this, we suggest looking into these exam boards that support private candidates:

AQA – Offers GCSEs for private candidates.

Cambridge International (CAIE) – Well-known for IGCSEs and very suitable for homeschoolers.
https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/why-choose-us/find-a-cambridge-school/ (https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/why-choose-us/find-a-cambridge-school/)

OCR – Offers a range of GCSEs, with limited subjects available to private candidates.
