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.

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.

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.

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.
