From Britannica Team:
These achievements reflect our unwavering commitment to academic excellence and personalized learning.
Why A Levels Are the Best Choice for Students Aged 16–18
‘A’ Levels are widely regarded as the gold standard of pre-university qualifications, recognized by leading universities worldwide. Unlike other systems that require students to study a broad range of subjects, A Levels allows learners to specialise in areas they are passionate about, developing deep subject knowledge and advanced analytical skills.
This depth of study not only prepares students for university but often enables them to cover significant portions of first-year university content, giving them a head start in higher education.
At Britannica, we believe that education should empower students to pursue their passions rather than restrict them to narrow subject groupings. That’s why our post-16 programme offers an unparalleled choice of up to 20 different A Level courses, giving students the flexibility to design a curriculum that truly reflects their interests and aspirations.
A Word from Our Principal

“Our students don’t just learn the basics or cover content at a standard level, they master their subjects in depth,” says Neil McGarry- Principal of Britannica International School Budapest.
“In many cases, the level of understanding they achieve in A Level courses covers most of the first-year university content. This gives them a real advantage when they move on to higher education.”
