High School Level
At high school level, our students have the possibility to choose between the Romanian line and Cambridge line.
High School Level - Romanian Line
When following the Romanian line, the students will study the Romanian national curriculum for high school for theoretical studies, exact sciences profile, specialization in Natural Sciences. Romanian and English will be the languages of instruction (bilingual English).
This specialization allows us to build a timetable that includes enough hours of teaching, both in the area of exact sciences and in the area of humanities and allows students to choose any university field at the end of the high school.
The high school cycle will end with the national Baccalaureate exam. In the 12th grade, the students will benefit from extra classes to prepare for the Baccalaureate exam and for the university admission.
The students have the possibility to choose optional modules, which embrace their need to develop in a creative environment, grounded in reality and in the current needs of society. Thus, we intend to approach modules in which students will study Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Introduction to Bioinformatics, Learning How to Learn, Banned Books, Sports and Nutrition, Elements of Theology and Philosophy, and Film Studies.
High School Level - Cambridge Line
Paradis International College is proud to be part of the schools that follow a Cambridge curriculum, specially designed for international schools around the world and quite similar to the British curriculum. This ensures continuity for students who move to different countries, but also to schools that follow a common curriculum – the Cambridge one. Cambridge accreditation is a certification of the quality of the education offered to high school students and the guarantee that they will be thoroughly prepared to be admitted to top universities in Europe and in the world.
Paradis High School – Cambridge line allows IGCSE students (9th and 10th grades) to study compulsory subjects, important for building the foundations of general knowledge (Mathematics, English – as a first language, Science, foreign language – German, Spanish or French), along with subjects they are passionate about or attracted to. The Paradis offer for high school – the Cambridge line is very wide and varied, offering 15 subjects, such as: Geography, History, Computer science, Sociology, Psychology, Art, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Global perspectives, Business, Music, German, Spanish, English.
Teaching, exclusively in English, is very interactive and applied, focused on the needs of each individual student, but, at the same time, encourages research and independence, active involvement in the educational process, so that the Paradis high school graduates will be able to succeed in any field they will go on, becoming true leaders and creators of their own future.
Exams taken during high school – IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) at the end of the tenth grade and A Levels – the equivalent of the baccalaureate (in the 11th and 12th grades) are recognized internationally, but they can also be certified as being equivalent to the Romanian Baccalaureate.
Preparation for University Admission
At Paradis International College, our students go through a process of holistic self-discovery, and we are beside them every step of the way.
Choosing the right universities and future careers represents a priority for our students, so they are guided in this process by our professionals, based on the psycho-emotional profile and strengths of each individual.
From the moment they are admitted to Paradis high school, and then throughout schooling, students undergo detailed individual assessments, in which we involve not only school psychologists and counsellors, but also the teachers who have guided the student until then.
When we guide a student in choosing the universities to which they will apply, we consider their skills and academic level, trying to find together the solution that will provide each future student with the optimal satisfaction of their intellectual and emotional needs.
Advising and planning intensifies in 11th and 12th grades, when students receive personalized guidance during all stages of the university application process:
- personality assessments
- researching career options;
- participating in internships and training courses;
- exploring fields of study and academic programmes for selected majors;
- gathering detailed information about prospective universities, including campus environment and student life, beyond what is available on official platforms
- support in writing essays, cover letters or personal statements;
- obtaining letters of recommendation;
- organizing mock interviews;
- preparing and submitting university applications and following up on offers.
