About IGCSE
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is a globally recognised qualification offered by Cambridge International Examination (CIE). It is a comprehensive two-year programme (Grades 9 and 10), which prepares students for further studies or career paths.
Besides some of the best IGCSE schools in Mumbai, this programme is offered across the world in over 160 countries.
Along with its exposure to a global curriculum, the IGCSE programme places emphasis on adding value within a national context as well—one of the key reasons for its adoption by Lodha Oakwood School, as well as other top IGCSE Schools in Mumbai.
