The choiceis determined by the needs of the individualpupil. There is a wide range of subjects:Art, Biology, Business Management, BusinessStudies, Chemistry, Classical Civilisation,Computing, Design & Technology, Economics,English, French, Geography, German,History, Latin, Mathematics, Music, RMPS,Physical Education, Physics and Spanish.The opportunity to study more than threesubjects at AS level in the Lower Sixth ensuresthat a degree of flexibility can be maintained,and the study of A2 leads to specialistknowledge suitable for future university study.Highers provide a slightly broader base,and are an appropriate university entrancequalification in Scotland and further afield.The formal academic curriculum issupplemented by a programme of talks, visitsand exchanges.
