While outpacing other international curricular programs in the US, many are still unfamiliar with Cambridge International AS- and A-Levels. Cambridge International may be newer to some in the US, but it is the oldest and largest international curriculum in the world. Some may know it as a program international students have taken, but many are unaware that US high schoolers are also taking these courses and exams, including New York City Public Schools.

This session provides a basic understanding of Cambridge International AS- and A-Level courses and exams, how the program operates in US schools, and how (and why) colleges should be awarding credit. Learn how Cambridge International is growing throughout the US, the success of students in subsequent college courses, and the resources available for admissions and registrar offices as students arrive on campus with these credentials.
