GCE A Level Non-Science at Little Angels College is a two-year Cambridge A Level pathway for students interested in areas such as management, economics, social sciences, psychology, mathematics, computing, languages, and creative subjects. The program is offered within the college's GCE A Level setting in Hattiban, where A Level education has been available since 2009.
The Non-Science pathway allows students to work with subject combinations suited to their academic interests and intended direction for further study. The program combines classroom learning with independent reading, research, discussion, written work, presentations, and other subject-appropriate forms of assessment. Students also have access to library and computer resources, counseling, career guidance, co-curricular activities, boarding, transportation, and other facilities available within the A Level environment.

The GCE A Level Non-Science program provides a Cambridge A Level route for students whose academic interests extend beyond the natural sciences. It brings together subjects from management, economics, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, computing, and creative areas.
Little Angels College introduced GCE A Level in 2009. The wider A Level program offers Science and Non-Science pathways while retaining the subject flexibility associated with Cambridge A Level study.
A Level normally takes two years. The first stage is Advanced Subsidiary, commonly referred to as AS or A1, followed by the Advanced stage, referred to as A or A2.
Rather than requiring every student to follow one identical combination, the system allows subject selection to reflect academic interests, available options, and the requirements of later study.
The program may suit students whose interests lie in areas such as business, accounting, economics, psychology, sociology, mathematics, computing, languages, or creative subjects.
It can also be considered by students who prefer academic work involving combinations of:
Reading and interpretation
Written analysis
Quantitative study
Research
Discussion
Presentation
Problem-solving
Independent study
The program expects students to become increasingly responsible for their own learning. A Level students are expected to manage their time, complete assigned work, follow academic guidance, undertake further reading, and carry out research independently.
Duration: Two years
The GCE A Level structure is commonly divided into:
Advanced Subsidiary (AS/A1)
Advanced (A/A2)
Students progress through subjects at these stages according to the structure of the individual syllabus.
Cambridge A Level allows flexibility in subject selection. This flexibility does not mean that every combination will suit every higher-education plan. Some university courses can require particular subjects, making early subject planning important for students who already have a preferred field of further study.
The Non-Science offering at Little Angels College covers a range of subjects rather than a single narrow stream.
Subjects identified within the college's Non-Science offering include:
General Paper of English
Accounting
Business Studies
Economics
Sociology
Psychology
Mathematics
Computer Science
Art and Design (Photography)
Spanish/French
The college's A Level information also presents Management and Humanities combinations within the Non-Science curriculum.
| Subject | Area |
|---|---|
| General Paper | English and general academic communication |
| Accounting | Accounting |
| Business Studies | Business |
| Economics | Economics |
The Management Group combines General Paper with Accounting, Business Studies, and Economics.
This combination brings together quantitative, commercial, and analytical subjects. Students work across accounting concepts, business-related study, economic ideas, and academic communication through General Paper.
| Subject | Area |
|---|---|
| General Paper | English and general academic communication |
| Economics | Economics |
| Sociology | Social sciences |
| Psychology | Behavioural and social study |
The Humanities Group combines General Paper with Economics, Sociology, and Psychology.
This route places greater emphasis on social, economic, and behavioural subjects while retaining General Paper as part of the combination.
Subject flexibility is an important feature of A Level study. The wider Non-Science offering at Little Angels College includes subjects from management, social science, mathematics, computing, languages, and art-related study.
The available A Level information notes that subject combinations can change according to student interests, resources, and academic relevance.
For this reason, students should approach subject selection as an academic planning decision rather than simply choosing a stream name. A learner interested in business-related further study may need a different combination from someone interested in psychology, sociology, computing, mathematics, or creative subjects.
The Non-Science pathway is not limited to memorizing subject content. The college's A Level program places attention on understanding concepts, applying knowledge, conducting research, and becoming more independent in academic work.
The program identifies critical thinking, creativity, research, and communication among the abilities it seeks to develop through the A Level learning environment.
Depending on the subjects chosen, students may work with numerical problems, written arguments, case-based material, social concepts, research tasks, presentations, creative work, or computer-based activities.
This variation is one of the distinctions within the Non-Science pathway: students can build an academic combination that crosses more than one discipline instead of concentrating entirely on one subject area.
Assessment methods depend on the individual Cambridge A Level subject.
Students may be assessed through:
Written examinations
Coursework
Projects
Oral assessment
Practical or subject-specific assessment
Not every subject uses every method. The form of assessment is determined by the structure of the relevant subject.
Cambridge A Level grades range from A* at the highest level through A, B, C, D, and E. A U grade applies when the requirements for a passing grade are not met.
The mix of subjects available in Non-Science means that assessment can differ considerably from one subject to another. A student taking Accounting, for example, will encounter a different style of academic work from a student taking Sociology, Psychology, Computer Science, or Art and Design.
Eligibility: Applicants must have appeared for or completed the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) or an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of Education at the time of application.
The college also considers academic performance in SEE or equivalent examinations as part of its admission approach.
Admission to the GCE A Level program at Little Angels College includes a computer-based entrance examination followed by a personal interview with prospective students.
The college also encourages parents or guardians to meet faculty members and the management team before formal enrollment.
Subject selection forms an important part of the admission process because the A Level structure permits different combinations. Students receive guidance in selecting subjects according to their academic interests and intended study direction.
Students in the Non-Science pathway have access to the wider academic facilities provided for GCE A Level students at Little Angels College.
The library contains academic texts, research material, literature, biographies, and other reading resources.
For students taking subjects such as Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Business Studies, and General Paper, library access provides space for reading, reference work, research, and independent study.
The college has two computer laboratories, each capable of accommodating more than 70 students.
The laboratories support:
Computer-based classes
Academic research
Online academic work
University application-related work
Computer access is particularly relevant for students taking Computer Science, but the facilities also support research and academic work across the wider Non-Science program.
The A Level facilities also include creative spaces for art and design. These are relevant to students following creative subjects within the Non-Science offering.
Learning outside regular subject classes includes academic and co-curricular activities that can complement Non-Science subjects.
Available activities include:
Project work and research activities
Model United Nations
Creative writing workshops
Entrepreneur Talk Series
Fundraising and charity activities
Welcome and farewell programs
Model United Nations can provide a setting for discussion and presentation, while creative writing relates naturally to communication-oriented interests. Research activities and entrepreneurship discussions also connect with subjects such as Economics and Business Studies without being part of the formal subject curriculum.
The Counseling Desk supports students with academic, personal, and social concerns.
Counseling covers areas such as:
Study habits
Time management
Interests and strengths
Aptitudes
Emotional concerns
Social challenges
Conflicts involving peers, teachers, or parents
Students can access both individual and group counseling sessions.
Academic and career guidance is also available. Advisors work with students on course choices, extracurricular activities, internships, university planning, and other academic decisions according to their interests and strengths.
The Non-Science pathway can support different directions for further study because students can combine subjects from several academic areas.
A student interested in management-related study, for example, may choose a different combination from a student interested in social sciences, psychology, mathematics, computing, languages, or creative fields.
A Level subject selection should therefore be considered alongside future academic requirements. Some higher-education institutions or programs can require particular subjects or combinations.
The college's academic and career guidance services provide support for students considering university applications and further study.
Little Angels College offers scholarship opportunities for students on the basis of academic merit and financial need.
Scholarships are limited in number, and academic potential and performance are among the considerations identified for scholarship selection.
Non-Science students share the wider GCE A Level campus environment with other A Level learners.
Available facilities and services include:
Classrooms with smart boards
Library and study areas
Computer laboratories
Auditorium
Counseling services
Career guidance
Cafeteria and food court
Infirmary
Sports facilities
Boarding
Transportation
The college auditorium accommodates up to 500 participants and is used for assemblies, cultural programs, award ceremonies, dramatic performances, and other institutional events.
Students can take part in several indoor and outdoor sports alongside their academic program.
Sports include:
Football
Futsal
Cricket
Basketball
Volleyball
Lawn tennis
Badminton
Table tennis
Martial arts
Swimming during summer
These activities provide a separate recreational and participation space alongside classroom and co-curricular work.
Separate hostel facilities are available for boys and girls.
Residential services include supervision, dining, treated drinking water, academic support, sports access, security, and student activities.
Transportation is also available across different parts of the Kathmandu Valley for students who commute to the Hattiban campus.
The two arrangements allow students to attend the same A Level program either as residential students or through daily travel.
The main distinction of GCE A Level Non-Science is its subject range.
Rather than centering study on Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, the pathway draws from areas such as business, accounting, economics, sociology, psychology, mathematics, computer science, languages, and creative subjects.
The Management combination provides a route built around Accounting, Business Studies, Economics, and General Paper. The Humanities combination brings together Economics, Sociology, Psychology, and General Paper. Other Non-Science subjects broaden the available academic range.
For students, the practical question is not simply whether a subject belongs to Science or Non-Science. The more important consideration is whether the chosen combination matches the subjects they want to study in depth and the academic direction they intend to pursue later.
GCE A Level Non-Science is a two-year Cambridge A Level pathway covering subjects from management, economics, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, computing, languages, and creative areas.
The program normally takes two years, covering the Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced stages.
