Global Dual-Enrollment Pathway for International High School Students
Explorer enables international high school students to complete first-year university courses while still in school, and to carry those credits forward for advanced standing in degree programs around the world.
"Global Dual Enrollment. Local Classrooms. University-Level Futures."
Global Dual Enrollment, Local Classrooms
Explorer extends the proven concept of dual-enrollment / dual-credit programs—common in North America, Australia, and parts of Europe—into international school systems across South Asia and Southeast Asia.

The Explorer Standard Pathway
A standard first-year course bundle focused on areas that overlap with what students are already studying and are widely useful across many degrees.

Calculus / Quantitative Methods
Mathematical reasoning for STEM and business
Statistics & Data Analysis
Data literacy for the modern world
