A Level Home Education

A Levels are the gold standard of the British education system and our abilities, even in later life, are still measured against it.

This is partly because of the flexibility of the examination system but also because A Level study requires a broader understanding to which home schooling is particularly suited.

A Level Structure

Each A Level is split into two halves, the AS Level and the A2 Level. Whilst both halves cover approximately the same amount of material, the conceptually harder elements will nearly always be found at A2. Generally, each half of the A Level will be split into two units. Each unit matches a corresponding exam. Examinations are normally in June each year.
