One of the most exciting parts of the IGCSE journey is choosing subjects. Parents often ask: What should my child take, and how will these choices affect their future? At Amberlynn International Online School, we guide families in Nairobi and across Kenya to make informed subject decisions that align with each learner’s strengths and career ambitions.

In IGCSE, students usually select a mix of sciences, humanities, and creative subjects. For example, a student interested in medicine might choose Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, while a child leaning toward business could opt for Business Studies, Accounting, and Economics. These subject combinations build the foundation for success in A Levels and beyond.

The transition to A Levels is where specialization happens. Here, students focus on three or four subjects closely tied to their university and career paths. For instance, aspiring engineers often take Mathematics, Physics, and Further Maths, while future lawyers may focus on English, History, and Economics.

At Amberlynn International Online School, we not only provide expert tuition for IGCSE and A Levels but also offer subject selection guidance to ensure learners choose wisely. With experienced tutors, small online classes, and personalized mentoring, your child is well supported in every decision they make.

Helping students choose the right subjects today opens doors to tomorrow’s opportunities—whether it is admission to global universities or excelling in competitive careers.
