Sixth Form at BIAM
Your Pathway to Global Universities Starts Here
At British International Academy Marrakech (BIAM), the Sixth Form marks the beginning of the final and most transformative stage of a student’s secondary education. Spanning Years 12 and 13, this post-16 programme offers students the opportunity to specialise in subjects aligned with their academic strengths, career ambitions, and university goals.
Students who have completed their IGCSEs at BIAM—or an equivalent international programme—can choose to study for A-Level qualifications, the internationally recognised standard for university entry.
Sixth Form at BIAM is built on the English National Curriculum – Key Stage 5, with an emphasis on academic rigour, critical thinking, and independent learning. It’s a time when students deepen their knowledge, take ownership of their learning, and prepare for life at university and beyond.
Studying Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Levels at BIAM
Students in Sixth Form at BIAM follow Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL) programmes.
International Advanced Levels are advanced, subject-based qualifications designed for international learners and recognised by universities around the world.
Students normally select three subjects according to their academic strengths, university aspirations and intended future pathway. The modular structure of Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Levels provides flexibility while maintaining a rigorous academic programme.
Teaching is delivered by subject-specialist teachers, with an increasing emphasis on independent learning, critical thinking, academic depth and preparation for higher education.

Our International Advanced Level Programme
At BIAM, students follow Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL) programmes and are prepared according to the relevant Pearson Edexcel qualification specifications.
Choosing the Right Subjects
A-Levels require dedication and a passion for the chosen subjects. They are more challenging than IGCSEs and demand greater independence and self-discipline. At BIAM, we provide individual academic guidance to help students make informed decisions based on their interests, strengths, and intended university pathways.
Tip for students:
If you have a future career or degree in mind (e.g., medicine, architecture, law), it’s essential to choose subjects that universities require for those fields.
