A Level, AGES: 16 - 18 (YEAR 12 - 13)
LEH International School Foshan offered the prestigious Advanced Level Qualifications Programme (A Level) to our Sixth Form students. This will enable LEH students finishing their IGCSEs to continue their top-level British Education in Foshan in Year 12 and 13.
The A Levels help prepare students for university all over the world and not only in the UK. They are a great introduction to the study habits, the rigour and the deep content knowledge required at university. In the UK they have been designed as university entrance exams, nevertheless, they are widely valued all over the world and they will allow you to have a smooth admissions process.
Sixth Form Team
Leading the Sixth Form team is Mrs Kirk, our Head of Sixth Form and Founding Head of Mathematics. With over 30 years of teaching experience, Mrs Kirk oversees all aspects of the Sixth Form. She is supported by Ms Stevens, Deputy Head of Sixth Form, who, alongside Mr Molinari, USA University Counsellor, helps students prepare for their university applications. Together, they guide students through their A Levels and help them find the best path for their future. Meanwhile, Mrs MacDonald, Head of Sixth Form Boarding, ensures that life in the boarding house runs smoothly, offering a warm and supportive environment beyond academics. We also have Mr Duckworth, Deputy Head of English, and Dr Emmerton, Head of Chemistry serving as tutors for our Sixth Form students.

What Do Our Students & Alumni Say?
Aleesa (Current Y12 student):
The most rewarding aspect has been the sense of independence and self-discovery I’ve gained. Sixth Form challenged me to take ownership of my learning, set my own goals, and push myself beyond what I thought I was capable of… I believe LEH has helped me grow as a young adult ready to enter university life.
Jack (Founding student and graduate):
One of the most important things LEH Foshan provided me with was my academic success, with the help of my wonderful teachers. In addition to academics, LEH has also contributed to my overall development by offering me numerous opportunities to cultivate different skills through participation in various events.。
