Brief description of entry evaluation required

Generally students are required to sit an entrance test in English, Maths and the sciences.

Students requiring admission to the A level stream do not take an entrance test – instead a decision is made based on their IGCSE scores. Likewise strong SAT Reasoning Test scores can assist in admission to grades 11 and 12, American stream.

In addition to an aptitude test, an interview is conducted by the Principal and/or Vice-Principal with the applicant and his/her parents to establish the goals that are set for the school-parent partnership.

Teaching approach of the school

The curriculum is based on a combination of the British and American systems.
At the Primary Level and first two years of Intermediary (Grades 1 to 8), MAR follows an American curriculum. From 2013-14, MAR is replacing the separate teaching of Physics, Chemistry and Biology with General Science, with the introduction of interactive science material to support.

At the senior level, MAR offers a choice between American and UK-based curricula with preparation for external assessments. For the UK-based stream, IGCSE and A level (Advanced Level) courses form the main core of the curriculum at the Secondary Level (Grades 9 to 12). In addition to the above subjects, business related subjects such as Economics, Business Studies, and Accounting are delivered.

English at IGCSE (grades 9 and 10) is offered as either English as a first language and English Literature or English as a second language.

The British stream students study the IGCSE and A Level courses over a period of four years, while the American stream embarks upon a four-year High School Diploma, during the course of which they sit SAT and SAT II exams in grades 11 and 12 respectively.
