At the International School of Bremen, we proudly offer the Cambridge IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) for Grades 9 and 10, recognized as a gateway to success. This globally respected qualification is designed to prepare students for further education and employment, combining a rigorous academic framework with practical skill development.
GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES: PREPARING GLOBAL CITIZENS
The Cambridge IGCSE is acknowledged by leading universities and employers worldwide, making it an international passport to progression and success. Developed over 25 years ago, this qualification is tried, tested, and trusted by schools across the globe. At ISB, our IGCSE program provides students with a comprehensive and balanced education, ensuring they excel in their studies and beyond.
ACADEMIC & PRACTICAL SKILLS
The IGCSE curriculum at ISB covers a broad range of subjects, including languages, mathematics, sciences, and humanities. This diversity allows students to tailor their education to their interests and career aspirations. Our curriculum emphasizes not only academic knowledge but also the development of essential practical skills, encouraging students to become independent, reflective learners.
EQUIVALENCY TO THE GERMAN MITTLERE REIFE
In Bremen, the Cambridge IGCSE is recognized as equivalent to the German Mittlere Reife (Realschulabschluss). To achieve this equivalency, students must successfully pass at least five IGCSE subjects with grades C or better, including two languages, mathematics, one science subject, and one social science subject. This recognition ensures that local German students can seamlessly transition to higher education pathways within Germany or abroad.
PATHWAY TO ADVANCED STUDIES
Completing the IGCSE program paves the way for students to undertake advanced studies, such as the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) offered at ISB. The skills and knowledge gained during the IGCSE years form a solid foundation for the demanding and enriching IB curriculum, preparing students for success in university and future careers.

With access to state-of-the-art facilities and a dedicated team of educators, students are inspired to reach their full potential.
