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.

Famous quotes containing the word academic:
“Being in a family is like being in a play. Each birth order position is like a different part in a play, with distinct and separate characteristics for each part. Therefore, if one sibling has already filled a part, such as the good child, other siblings may feel they have to find other parts to play, such as rebellious child, academic child, athletic child, social child, and so on.”
—Jane Nelson (20th century)
“I was so grateful to be independent of the academic establishment. I thought, how awful it would be to have my future hinge on such people and such decisions.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
