Our Academic Program
2026-2027

Grades 5-8: Building the Foundations

Students follow the Cambridge curriculum, with daily lessons in English or English as a Second Language, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Punjabi, Music, Art, IT and Physical Education are included in the weekly schedule.

These years build subject knowledge, English proficiency and confidence in learning. Students develop their ability to read with understanding, express ideas, solve problems and work independently.

Grades 9–10: Cambridge IGCSE

Students follow a two-year program in five compulsory Cambridge IGCSE subjects:
– English Language or English as a Second Language
– Mathematics
– Combined Science
– History
– Business

English placement is determined by proficiency. Mathematics and Combined Science offer Core or Extended examinations according to students’ attainment and readiness.

Students also study Punjabi and Music, with school-day Physical Education for day students. Students sit Cambridge IGCSE examinations in May/June of Grade 10.

Grades 11–12 — Preparing for University

MPA offers Cambridge AS/A Level courses in:
– English
– Mathematics
– Biology
– Chemistry
– Physics
– Business
– Global Perspectives

Students normally study three A Level subjects alongside AS English. They receive guidance in choosing subjects suited to their strengths and intended university courses.

Participation in Punjabi and Music depends on students’ academic workload, goals and timetable availability.

As students progress through MPA, they are expected to become increasingly independent: organizing their work, meeting deadlines, using feedback and seeking help when needed.

Our goal is for students to leave with strong academic foundations and the ability to manage the demands of further study.
