Academic
The academic curriculum is broad-based, starting with seventeen subjects in Form one. This provides adequate room for choice as the students move up to higher Forms. Students sit the Cambridge IGCSE examinations at the end of Form four and Cambridge‘A’ Level examinations at the end of the Upper Sixth year.In 2012 the college registered a 99% pass rate for GCE A level and 83% for IGCSE
In addition to the ‘A’ Level programme described above, the College offeres a two-year Agriculture Diploma Course. This course was designed for students to study immediately after Form four. The course was designed and operated with the on-going assistance of Hartpury College in the United Kingdom. Many students proceeded to further their education in Agriculture at Hartpury once they successfully completed the Watershed College Agriculture Diploma Course.
