AICE Diploma Information

The Advanced International Certificate of Education

What is the AICE Diploma?

The Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Diploma is an international curriculum and examination system that emphasizes the value of broad and balanced study. Alongside an in-depth understanding of a variety of subjects, students also need to master a broader range of skills critical for success in university study and employment.

The Cambridge AICE Diploma was first awarded in 1997 and has since become popular with a range of schools in different parts of the world. It encompasses the 'gold standard' of Cambridge International AS and A Level qualifications and offers students the opportunity to tailor their studies to their individual interests, abilities, and future plans within an international curriculum framework.

The AICE Diploma does not replace the Standard or Advanced Diploma awarded by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
