Biology

Learning about about Biology is not just about human mechanics. We learn biology to understand the process life of living things. In this course we would like students to explore the life cycle of and chemistry in microorganism, human body, animals and insects. The IGCSE course is very concise and comprehensive preparing students for higher learning education.
