The Career Immersion program
The Career Immersion program aims to connect students with real-world work settings, taking them beyond the classroom to expand their knowledge and understanding of different industries. Through these hands-on experiences, students will learn about a variety of careers and gain insight into employers’ expectations.
The immersion experiences also allow students to enhance their essential skills, such as in communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. Additionally, students will develop workplace etiquette and values that will help them adapt to the professional world.
Ultimately, the Career Immersion program prepares students for their future careers by giving them a practical understanding of the workplace. This helps ensure they are well-equipped to transition from school to the professional environment.
IAL curriculum
Mu Kuang offers the international curriculum, GCE IAL Examinations, at S5 and S6. IAL is a widely recognised international qualification, taken in over 125 countries, and is accepted as proof of academic ability for entry to universities worldwide. The syllabuses develop a deep understanding of subjects and independent thinking skills. All the IAL subjects offered are administered by either the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) or Pearson Edexcel (Edexcel).
2-Year curriculum
The curriculum takes two years to complete. Students usually take three AS-level papers in S5 and continue with three or four A-level papers in S6. Besides, students are required to study the school-based English and Chinese Language curriculums, which are designed according to the framework of IELTS and IGCSE Chinese Language, respectively.
S4 School-Based Integrated Curriculum

- “Economic” – The specification is split into two main sections, the first section introduces students to microeconomic issues and the second section covers mainly macroeconomic issues. However, students should appreciate that microeconomics and macroeconomics are not entirely distinct areas of study. For example, microeconomic principles often provide fundamental insights into understanding aspects of the macroeconomy. Similarly, economic issues and problems often contain both a microeconomic and macroeconomic dimension.
