Choosing what to study after Year 11 can feel overwhelming — but at GEMS Wellington Academy – Silicon Oasis, we make the process supportive, personalised, and empowering. 

Our Post-16 provision offers one of the most comprehensive and flexible pathways in the region: A-levels, BTECs, the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), and the IB Career-related Programme (IBCP). This variety ensures that every student can select a route that matches their learning style, career aspirations, and personal interests. 

With support from experienced academic advisors, one-to-one counselling, and taster sessions, students at WSO are guided through a journey of self-discovery. We work together to balance ambition with wellbeing — so whether a student thrives in coursework, prefers academic depth, or wants a blend of both, there’s a path that fits. 

It’s not just about exams — it’s about preparing students for life. From future doctors and engineers to creatives and entrepreneurs, WSO students are given the space and support to grow into confident, informed decision-makers.
