Education

Gateway offers widest choices at A/L

There is no "one-size-fits-all" education to ensure every student. Gateway College is proud to offer the largest, most comprehensive selection of educational choices - so parents and students can choose the best education programme for academic growth and success.

Gateway offers the widest choice of options for those who sat the Sri Lankan OLs in December 2009 and those who will sit the London or Cambridge OL/IGCSE in May 2010. These students can take:

  • 4 GCE Advanced Level subjects
  • 3 GCE Advanced Level subjects and International Diploma in IT
  • 3 GCE Advanced Level subjects and International Diploma in Business
  • The International Foundation Programme

The range of subjects offered at Advanced Level Science, Business and Humanities sectors include Mathematics, Further Maths, Pure Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business Studies, Accounts, Applied ICT, English Language & Literature and Psychology. They have been arranged in a way where even uncommon combinations of subjects can be taken to suit students' future careers. Gateway strongly encourages the students who wish to pursue demanding careers such as Medicine and Engineering to study four AL subjects.

Students also have the option of taking 3 Advanced Level subjects along with a Diploma and thereby fast track their Degree studies. Through this arrangement, they are also able to keep their options open until they complete the two years of study in Advanced Level where they could even opt for a different career to what they were planning at the commencement of their Advanced Level studies. Gateway Graduate School, in partnership with NCC Education UK, offers a choice of two Diplomas.

These Diplomas (International Diploma in Computer Studies - IDCS and International Diploma in Business - IDB) done over two years, is equivalent to the first year of a British Degree. The second year (leading to the Advanced Diploma) and the final year (leading to a Degree by the University of Wales, (UK) can be followed at the Gateway Graduate School. Therefore, taking this route, the student can obtain an internationally recognized British Degree, here in Sri Lanka, at a fraction of the cost of studying in UK. Students also have the option of transferring to Universities in UK, USA or Australia following the completion of the Diploma.

The International Foundation Programme is available at the Gateway Graduate School for students who wish to join our Degree pathway after Sri Lankan or London GCE O/Levels. Having completed the Foundation Programme, students are able to join the first year of the Degree. The programme in addition to raising students' English level will also provide a firm grounding in Business and Computing along with other important skills.

Gateway College stands out among the international schools in Sri Lanka as it follows the English National Curriculum from Foundation Stage up to Advanced Level. The experienced and qualified staff of the school is supported with state-of-the-art facilities and resources. Gateway College enjoys accredited teaching centre status from Edexcel-UK, Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and NCC Education-UK.

Students taking all these options have access to a wide range of sports and co-curricular activities. Our newly established Career Counselling and Guidance Unit offer extensive support in securing University placements and academic scholarships.

The firm, friendly and fair environment that prevails within the school help Gateway students to receive the finest global education within our unique cultural heritage.
