As Horizon International Education Consultancy we have recently become an Associate for Cambridge International Exams and are opening our own British High School – Horizon International College - in Istanbul this coming October.
We will be running the Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programmes for students aged between 14 and 19, which, upon graduating, gives them the opportunity to study at universities around the world.
