在三年級，學生年齡為 13 歲和 14 歲時，課程涵蓋廣泛的科目，包括兩門現代語言、三門科學和拉丁語。它還包括電腦課程、領導力和公開演講模組，所有學生都完成基礎專案資格 (FPQ)。
第四和第五年級的學生學習 GCSE 和 IGCSE。這些都是重要的公開考試，為 A Level 奠定基礎，在大學入學和工作申請中也發揮著重要作用。
大多數學生參加十門GCSE和IGCSE課程，包括英語語言、英國文學、數學、至少兩門科學和一門現代外語。這些核心科目也輔以另外四門選修科目。
在六年級（或高中部），學生進行專業學習，更深入地學習少量科目。大多數人都參加了三門 A Level 課程，並全部完成了擴展專案資格 (EPQ)。有些學生在有替代科目的科目中選擇 CTech 或 BTEC，而不是 A Level，少數學生則選擇四門 A Level。
我們積極鼓勵學科選擇的多樣性，促進藝術、科學、人文和語言的邏輯混合。與其他學校不同，我們不會規定科目塊，而是盡可能適應每個人的選擇。
我們也相信激發學生的好奇心並更深入地探索學科。我們的學術拓展活動是大學生活不可或缺的一部分，包括拓展課程、低年級和高年級大學社團、晚間學科社團會議、辯論、旅行和參觀。該計劃不僅體現了對學習的熱愛，而且將持續一生，而且還支持高等教育申請。
切爾滕納姆學院擁有廣泛的課程，使學生能夠探索自己的興趣和求知熱情。三年級有 17 個科目可供學習，第四年級和五年級有 22 個科目可供學習，學生可以學習他們以前可能沒有遇到過的科目。
我們的六年級 – 或高年級 – 適合 16 至 18 歲的學生。或從不同的學校加入我們。每個人在六年級期間都會得到支持，以發揮他們的潛力，並為畢業後的下一步做好準備。無論您從哪裡加入我們，您都可以選擇與我們一起寄宿或作為走讀生參加。
在切爾滕納姆學院六年級，您學習三到四門 A Level 課程。這為您提供了繼續您喜歡的科目並探索新領域的機會，例如藝術史、商業研究、經濟學、政府和政治或心理學。我們的班級規模較小，您將得到專門挑選的學術導師的支持，幫助您充分利用學習成果。這種方法的成功體現在我們學生所取得的 A Level 成績。
在學術課程之外，您將有機會探索自己的熱情，並充分發揮自己的潛力。您將至少參加我們每週的選修課，其中包括古代歷史、社區服務、藝術史、義大利語初學者、人體素描、回收自行車或迷你 MBA。您還將完成擴展專案資格 (EPQ)。這是您更深入研究您感興趣的領域並培養您在大學和工作場所所需的獨立研究和專案管理技能的機會。
學院的六年級學生離開我們前往英國和海外的一系列高等教育目的地和課程，包括醫學、牙科、獸醫等。
我們的宿舍結構、學校生活和日常生活都經過精心設計，以便我們所有的學生都能充分參與大學生活。我們學院有 11 間宿舍，其中包括兩間專用日間宿舍。在所有其他學院中，學院中任何年級的最多 25% 可以是日間寄宿生，以便我們在晚上和週末保留豐富而充滿活力的全寄宿精神。所有學院宿舍均位於校園週邊。
In the Third Form, when pupils are 13 and 14, the curriculum includes a wide range of subjects, including two modern languages, three sciences and Latin. It also includes Computing lessons, leadership and public speaking modules, and all pupils complete the Foundation Project Qualification (FPQ).
The Fourth and Fifth Forms see pupils studying for GCSEs and IGCSEs. These are important public examinations that lay the foundations for A Level and also play an important role in university admissions and job applications.
Most pupils take ten GCSEs and IGCSEs, including English Language, English Literature, Maths, at least two sciences and one modern foreign language. These core subjects are complemented by a further four option subjects.
In Sixth Form – or Upper College – pupils specialise, studying a smaller number of subjects at greater depth. The majority take three A Levels and all complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Some pupils take CTech or BTEC instead of A Level for subjects where it is available as an alternative, and a small number take on four A Levels.
We actively encourage diversity in subject choice and promote the logical mixing of arts, sciences, humanities and languages. Unlike other schools, we do not prescribe blocks of subjects, but try as far as possible to accommodate each individual’s choices.
We also believe in inspiring pupils to be curious and explore subjects in more depth. Our Academic Extension activities are an integral part of College life and include extension classes, Lower and Upper College Society, evening subject society meetings, debating, trips and visits. The programme not only embeds a love of learning that will last a lifetime but also supports Higher Education applications.
Cheltenham College has a broad curriculum, enabling pupils to explore their interests and intellectual passions. With 17 subjects available to study in Third Form and 22 subjects available Fourth and Fifth Form, pupils can engage with subjects they may not have been previously encountered.
Our Sixth Form – or Upper College – is for pupils aged 16 to 18. Pupils come to us from our Lower College (our name for Years 9 to 11); or join us from different schools. Everyone is supported during their time in Sixth Form to fulfil their potential and be ready for their next steps after school life. Wherever you join us from, you can choose to board with us or attend as a Day Pupil.
At Cheltenham College Sixth Form you study three or four A Levels. This provides you with the opportunity to continue your favourite subjects and explore new areas such as Art History, Business Studies, Economics, Government and Politics or Psychology. Our classes are small and you will have the support of specially selected academic tutors to help you get the most out of your learning. The success of this approach is reflected in the A Level results that our pupils achieve.
Outside the academic curriculum you will have the opportunity to explore your passions and become perfectly placed to achieve your potential. You will take part in at least one of our weekly electives, which include Ancient History, Community Service, History of Art, Italian for Beginners, Life Drawing, Recycling Bikes or a Mini-MBA. You will also complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). This is your opportunity to study an area that interests you in more depth and develop the independent research and project management skills you will need at university and in the workplace.
Sixth Form students at College leave us to go on to a range of Higher Education destinations and courses including Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine and many more in both the UK and overseas.
Our House structure, school life and routines have been developed so that all of our pupils can play a full part in life at College. We have 11 Houses at College, including two dedicated Day Houses. In all other Houses, a maximum of 25% of any Year group in a House may be Day Boarders, so that we retain our rich and vibrant full boarding ethos in the evenings and at weekends. All of the college Houses are located around the perimeter of the campus.
