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:
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“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)
