Welcome to the 6th Form

Academic Excellence: The A Level Advantage

Exceptional University Preparation

The 6th Form at RGS İstanbul will be much more than the final two years of school; it will be a bridge to the world’s most prestigious universities and a launchpad for future careers. This is where academic ambition meets professional maturity.

In our 6th Form, students will move beyond the broad curriculum of the IGCSEs to specialise in the subjects they are truly passionate about. Within a sophisticated, pre-university environment, our founding Sixth Formers will be treated as young professionals, empowered with greater independence and the responsibility to lead the school.

Learning in our Prep School will be rigorous, grounded in the British curriculum and brought to life through the ‘Go Beyond’ philosophy.

We will offer a rigorous A Level programme, the ‘gold standard’ of international education, recognised by top tier universities worldwide for its depth and specialisation.

  • Subject Mastery: Students typically select 3 to 4 subjects, allowing them to develop the profound subject knowledge required for competitive degree courses.

  • The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ): Students will have the opportunity to complete an EPQ, an independent research project that is highly valued by university admissions officers for demonstrating undergraduate level research skills.

  • Small Seminar Style Classes: Learning will be collaborative and discussion based, mirroring the tutorial systems found at elite universities like Oxford, Cambridge and the Ivy League.

From their very first days in Sixth Form, students will be supported by experienced university and careers advisors who know them as individuals. Our 6th Form team will help craft compelling personal statements, strong CVs and sharp interview skills. We will provide access to detailed university admissions data and personalised insights, guiding students to make informed choices with confidence and clarity.

At RGS İstanbul, we don’t just teach for exams; we prepare for life beyond them. Our students will benefit from the collective expertise of the Reigate Grammar School International network.

  • Bespoke University Counseling: Every Sixth Former will have access to expert advisors to guide them through applications to the UK (UCAS), the USA (Common App), Europe, and Türkiye.

  • The RGS ‘Reigation’ Network: Our students will be connected to a 350 year old network of professionals and mentors around the globe.

  • Interview & SAT/ACT Preparation: We will provide targeted support for entrance exams and admissions interviews, ensuring our students stand out in a global pool of applicants.

The Reigate Global Village

As a proud member of the Reigate Grammar School family, our 6th Formers will enjoy access to the shared wisdom and support of a global educational network of Reigations. From university talks and alumni panels to leadership programmes and internships, our students will be a part of a wider community that opens doors beyond the classroom and beyond borders.

Leadership and the Founding Legacy

As the most senior members of the school, our Founding 6th Formers will be the architects of our school’s culture.

  • Head Students & Prefects: They will lead the House system and the Student Council, working in partnership with the Headmaster.
  • Community Contribution:  Through our ‘Go Beyond’ service initiatives, 6th Formers will lead local and international charity projects, developing the empathy and integrity required for global leadership.

The 6th Form Centre

Our campus will feature a dedicated 6th Form Centre, a professional space designed for both collaborative study and independent research. It will include:

  • The Study Hub: A silent space for focused academic work.

  • The Common Room: A social space to build the lifelong friendships that define the 6th Form experience.

  • The Careers Suite: A hub for university research and one on one counseling and coaching sessions.

Beyond the Classroom

The 6th Form experience will be enriched by a high level co-curricular programme:

  • Academic Societies: Leading debates in the Law Society, Medicine Society, or Economics Forum.
  • Competitive Performance: Taking lead roles in major productions or captaining first team sports.
