Programme-level verification build · checked 26 September 2026

Requirements may change after publication; HEAC announcements and the institution’s current admissions page remain authoritative.

DAK Grade 9–10 IG route verification

EvidenceWhat it supports
DAK Cambridge IGCSE Grade 9 orientation documentDAK identifies its Grade 9 IG pathway as Cambridge IGCSE and describes the programme, academic pathway and related subject options.
Oman Ministry of Education — IGCSE guideIGCSE is generally a two-year programme for Grades 9–10 / ages 14–16. The guide lists multiple possible awarding bodies, so IGCSE is not automatically Cambridge in every Omani school.
Oman Ministry of Education — IT Newsletter 2026/2027Current 2026/2027 guidance lists Cambridge IGCSE resources for Grades 9–10 among approved private-school learning resources.
Oman Ministry of Education — Science Newsletter 2026/2027Current 2026/2027 science guidance lists Cambridge IGCSE Biology resources for Grades 9–10.
Implementation rule: Only DAK “IG” is labelled Cambridge IGCSE because DAK evidence confirms it. BI and Mono are not assigned Cambridge, Edexcel or another awarding body unless DAK separately confirms it.
