Students enrolled at the Nevis Sixth Form, will typically undertake studies from a suite of Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) subjects.   

The Caribbean Examinations Council offers three types of certifications at the CAPE level.

• The first is the award of a Certificate showing each CAPE Unit completed.

• The second is the CAPE Diploma, awarded to candidates who have satisfactorily completed at least six Units, including Caribbean Studies.

• The third is the CAPE Associate Degree, awarded for the satisfactory completion of a prescribed cluster of ten CAPE Units including Caribbean Studies, Communication Studies, and Integrated Mathematics.

Students are encouraged to choose the certification level best suited to them.
