    • Hello Ashley,

      Yes, you can be homeschooled for IGCSE. You can always enrol any online courses or register yourself with any private tuition centre and just attend the classes for the subject that you need help with.

  2. Hi,
    We are living in Italy and would like to know if our daughter would be accepted to participate in your homeschooling program from 10th Grade (age 14 years old). Any information would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

  3. We have decided to homeschool our daughter who had just started year 9 at secondary school in england. Could you advise us of the best way to move forward with putting together the most cost effective study programme to take her igcses which would probably be in 2017? Thank you for your help.

    • Hi Philippa,

      We would suggest you the below:

      1. Get the IGCSE books which follow the syllabus, then either study by yourself or get a home tutor to assist in the process.

      2. Join some IGCSE tuition classes for her weak subjects, this could help in strengthening the theory and practical (if she is taking science subjects).

      3. Take some online IGCSE courses, in this way she could study at her own pace plus strengthening her understanding.

    • Hi S.venkatesan,

      It is definitely too early for your son to join our Revision Classes now. These Revision Classes are for candidates writing the exams in this term or next.

      The syllabuses are for 2-year courses. Preparing candidates from 10th Grade to 11th Grade. (approximately from age 14/15 or above depending on your school entry age)

      By that time, there might have some changes in syllabus. We suggest you to check back with us at a later stage.

  5. Hi,

    I’m trying to set up a home school doing IGCSE for local students here in Malaysia. My questions are as follow:
    1) Does CIE have an official program for the course, like a detailed syllabus to be covered in each grade?

    2) Is the textbooks found everywhere on the net published specifically for home school accurate? Or, do you have official textbooks for each grade that the students have to buy?

    3) How do they enrol for the test? Is there an official channel or do I just go to the nearest British Council to do it?

    4) Is it possible to follow the Singaporean syllabus and take CIE O-level? Theirs are a four years course and yours are a six years course.

    I thank you in advance for your help.

    Cheers,
    Hanlen

    • Hello Hanlen,

      Please see our suggestions here:
      1). Yes, CIE has the official programme for IGCSE course.

      2). All the IGCSE books are for schools and homeschool (private candidates) usage. You may take a look at our recommendation here:
      https://www.igcsecentre.com/recommended-books/

      3). For private candidates, the best is to enrol at your nearest British Council.

      4). No. Singaporean syllabus are NOT Cambridge CIE O-Level.
