Class 9 – 10 · Cambridge 0478 / 2210
A two-year course for Cambridge IGCSE (0478) and O Level (2210) Computer Science, held in person at Mirpur and Uttara in Dhaka. Every topic is explained visually, practised with real exam questions and tested under exam conditions.
Cambridge IGCSE 0478 and O Level 2210 share one syllabus: how computers represent and move data, the hardware and software inside them, the internet and cyber security, emerging technologies such as robotics and AI — and, in Paper 2, algorithms, pseudocode, programming, databases and Boolean logic.
Classes run through Class 9 and Class 10. Each topic is first drawn and explained in plain words, then turned into pseudocode and Python, then practised with topical past-paper questions until the mark scheme makes sense. Timed mock exams in Class 10 build the speed and calm needed on exam day.
Students follow their progress on the student dashboard — homework, test marks against the class average, attendance and a syllabus checklist — and parents receive a monthly report.

Questions
Is O Level Computer Science 2210 the same as IGCSE 0478?
Yes. Both follow the same Cambridge syllabus and sit the same two papers — 0478 is the IGCSE code and 2210 the O Level code. One class prepares you for either.
How is O Level / IGCSE Computer Science examined?
Two written papers of 1 hour 45 minutes and 75 marks each: Paper 1 Computer Systems and Paper 2 Algorithms, Programming and Logic. Each is worth 50% of the grade and there is no coursework.
Which programming language is used?
The exam is written in Cambridge pseudocode, so every algorithm is practised in pseudocode first. Programs are then written and run in Python so students see their ideas work.
When should I start?
Ideally at the start of Class 9. The syllabus is covered over Class 9 and Class 10, with revision, topical past papers and mock exams before the May/June or October/November exam.
I follow Edexcel International GCSE Computer Science. Can I join?
Yes. Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Computer Science (4CP0) covers much of the same content, and Edexcel students are welcome in the same batches.
Do I need any programming experience before Class 9?
No. The course starts from the very beginning — binary numbers, simple algorithms and first programs — and builds up step by step.
