Curriculum

At Avenor, the high school curriculum offers a balanced, relevant, and forward-looking educational path that supports the academic and personal development of every student. We combine international best practices with our own programs to create a coherent, rigorous, and flexible learning experience tailored to the needs of an ever-changing world.

The curriculum covers essential subjects such as English and foreign languages, science, mathematics, humanities and social sciences, the arts, technology, and computer science, with a focus on critical thinking, practical application, and independence. Students are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and build confidence in their own ideas, in an environment that fosters curiosity and continuous progress.

The academic program is aligned with Cambridge international standards, offering students the opportunity to progress from IGCSE to AS and A Level, choosing subjects based on their interests and aspirations. The curriculum is enriched with subjects such as Romanian, which helps our students develop their cultural identity, communication skills, and the ability to express themselves with confidence and clarity.

Beyond academic achievements, we nurture young people who are capable of thinking independently, communicating effectively, and adapting with confidence to a global world—prepared for top universities and for their own path in life.

Career Guidance Programme at Avenor

At Avenor, we help high school students discover their passions and chart their path to the future through a well-structured career guidance program. The quality of this program is confirmed by the Career Mark International Award, an international recognition that certifies the excellence of the career education we provide to our students.

In Grades 9 and 10, students develop leadership skills, take part in projects and entrepreneurial challenges, and begin to explore possible career pathways through a psychometric testing process. This helps them identify their strengths and interests, supporting them in choosing A Level subjects and making informed career decisions.

In Grades 11 and 12, the focus shifts to preparing personal portfolios, exploring universities and courses, and becoming familiar with the requirements and stages of the university application process. Students benefit from the support of our Career Counselling Team and the Unifrog online platform, which helps them identify the most suitable study programmes. Our counsellors, with extensive experience in guiding applications to universities worldwide, support our students all the way through to graduation.

Internships are an essential part of the Career Guidance Programme, offering real-world experiences in diverse fields – from medicine, arts and law to finance, STEM or civic engagement.

Our goal is for every Avenor graduate to be prepared not only for university admission, but also for life, becoming truly Future Ready.

The high school curriculum in the Cambridge International program is designed to be progressive, allowing students to develop their academic skills step by step and define their path for the future. Beginning with IGCSE, continuing with AS Level, and culminating in A Level, this pathway provides a clear yet flexible structure that encourages both academic achievement and independent thinking.

The students’ results reflect this progressive journey and confirm the level of preparation they have achieved by the time they complete each stage of high school.

Avenor’s Best A-Level Results Ever – 2026

A Levels are the final stage of the Cambridge high school program and are typically taken in 11th and 12th grade.

It is a specialized program in which students study a limited number of subjects, but in great depth. A-Level results are essential for admission to top universities around the world.

Grades are assigned on a scale from A* to E, with A* representing academic excellence.

The results achieved by the 12th-grade students who took the A-Level exams in 2026 at Avenor International High School are as follows: 91.4% of the grades fell within the A*–C range, 43.1% of the grades were A* and A, and 10.34% of the grades were A*. 100% of the students were admitted to college.

Students with the highest scores on the A-Level exams

The 40 graduates of the Class of 2026 achieved the best results in Avenor’s history on the Cambridge A-Level exams. Eight of the graduates earned A’s and A*’s in all the subjects they took.

These results enabled them to continue their studies at their first-choice universities in the United Kingdom and Europe, including top institutions such as Bocconi University, Trinity College Dublin, the University of St. Andrews, the University of Bristol, King’s College London, and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The graduates will continue their studies in 8 countries, and the diversity of their academic options is equally remarkable: ranging from finance, economics, business, and medicine to science and technology, law, psychology, the humanities, and the arts.

Excellent Results on the Cambridge AS Level Exams

AS Level is the first half of the Advanced Level program and is typically taken in 11th grade.

This stage involves a significant deepening of the chosen subjects, with a higher level of analysis and application of knowledge. AS results help define a student’s academic profile and can either be finalized as is or continued at the A-Level.

Grades are assigned on a scale from A to E, with A being the highest grade.

The results achieved by the 11th-grade students who took the AS exams at Avenor International High School in 2026 are as follows: 80.67% of the grades fell within the A–C range, 31.93% of the grades were A’s, and the pass rate was 100%.

Students with the highest scores on the AS exams

The excellent results achieved on the Cambridge AS Levels reflect the academic preparedness of Avenor students and the dedication with which they pursue their educational journey. Six 11th-grade students achieved top results, earning AAA grades in their top three subjects.

Excellent Results on the Cambridge IGCSE Exams

The IGCSE is the first major milestone in high school within the Cambridge system and is typically taken at the end of 10th grade.

It is a program covering a wide range of subjects, which provides students with a solid foundation of academic knowledge and helps them discover their interests and strengths. Assessment is rigorous and based on internationally recognized external exams.

IGCSE results are expressed as grades ranging from A* to G, with A* being the highest level of achievement.

The results achieved in 2026 by 10th-grade students at Avenor International High School on the IGCSE exams confirm a solid academic foundation in the early years of high school: 96.9% of the grades fell within the A*–C range, 52.21% of the grades were A* and A, 23.45% of the grades were A*, and the pass rate was 100%.

Students with the highest scores on the AS exams

The results achieved by Avenor students on this year’s Cambridge IGCSE exams confirm the high academic standards our students have attained. Their achievements include A* and A grades in all subjects tested, as well as numerous A*, A, and B grades.

An outstanding result was also achieved on the Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language exam, where four 9th-grade students earned 100 PUM, the highest possible score on the Percentage Uniform Mark scale used by Cambridge.

IGCSE results mark an important milestone in the academic journey of Avenor students and reflect their readiness for their next educational choices.

Events

Our high school students are involved in events, not only as participants, but often as organizers. In recent years, the events they have organised have brought together hundreds of community participants and often served a charitable purpose. In this way, students develop important skills in project management, which will help them later, regardless of the careers they choose.
