Five elements lie at the heart of a Cambridge education: international curriculum, teaching and learning, assessment, international recognition and global community.

Cambridge Lower Secondary Official Sylabus

Cambridge Lower Secondary English as a Second Language draws from independent users of English (B1 and B2) and provides learners with the English language skills they need to access Cambridge Upper Secondary qualifications.

The Mathematics Curriculum continues to emphasise Thinking and Working Mathematically. Algebra is formally introduced alongside Geometry and Measure and Statistics and Probability.

Our Computing Curriculum furthers learners’ knowledge of programming languages by introducing text-based software. Learners will explore algorithms using flowcharts and pseudocode, spreadsheets and databases, data transfer across networks and new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence.

The Science Curriculum framework builds a further understanding of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Space and, Thinking and Working Scientifically. All of the science disciplines are taught in each stage so that learners develop an integrated view of science.

Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives uses a range of topics to develop the skills of research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, collaboration and communication. Learners identify a wider range of personal, local and global perspectives and begin to evaluate why these may be different.

The Physical Education Curriculum develops a wide variety of age-appropriate physical activities, including games, team sports, gymnastics and dance.

Art & Design gives learners a platform to express themselves, sparking imagination, creativity and developing transferable skills. Students explore and push boundaries to become reflective, critical and decisive thinkers. They learn how to articulate personal responses to their experiences.
