Students take their IGCSE exam at the end of Grade 10, an important milestone in their education.

Visual and Performing Arts

The Arts are the one form of non-verbal communication with a universal appeal. They extend far beyond any text book, they involve all the intelligences, they appeal to, and bring out the potential in students. In Candor the Arts, Music and Movement, Music, Dance Drama, Visual Art are taught as an integral part of the curricular programme as Candor believes that the arts add the emotional and creative dimension to learning. Being assessed courses ensures that their importance is never minimized. Any student who has been identified as specially inclined to any of the Arts will be monitored and recommended for specialized training.
