The Cambridge AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) Diploma is awarded to students who successfully complete a rigorous, academically challenging series of subjects offered within the Cambridge Assessment International Education framework. Here's a rundown of the main requirements:

1. Subject groups: The AICE curriculum is divided into four groups, and you must take courses from at least three of the groups:

- Group 1: Mathematics and Sciences

- Group 2: Languages

- Group 3: Arts and Humanities

- Group 4: Interdisciplinary and Skills-based Subjects

2. Course levels: AICE courses are offered at two levels, AS (Advanced Subsidiary) and A (Advanced). AS Level courses are half the content of a full A Level course, so they require less time to complete.

3. Points and credits: To earn the AICE diploma, students need to accumulate a minimum of 140 points (also called credits), earned through passing six individual subject examinations. The subjects taken must include at least one course from each of the three chosen groups. The points required correspond to the following Cambridge International examination grades: A = 60 points, B = 50 points, C = 40 points, D = 30 points, and E = 20 points.

4. Time frame: Students can work toward obtaining their AICE diploma over a 25-month period, typically beginning in their junior year of high school and ending with their graduation. The program is flexible and can be tailored to individual needs.

5. Examinations: For each course, students must take an examination at the end of their studies. The exams are usually scheduled in three sessions per year in November, June, and March/April.

6. Language requirement: To earn the AICE Diploma, one of the six subject examinations must be in English, ensuring proficiency in the language.

Meeting these requirements and obtaining your AICE Diploma demonstrates your ability to engage with a diverse range of subjects and your dedication to rigorous academic study. It can also benefit you when applying to colleges and universities, as this diploma is internationally recognized for its academic excellence. Good luck with your AICE journey!
