Academic Excellence
The International Lower Secondary Curriculum will provide the students with a balanced curriculum that builds the key foundation for their future success in having them be well acquainted with critical thinking, problem-solving, and building self-confidence.
The International Lower Secondary Curriculum is everything that children will learn about in our International school. It can broadly be categorized into academic and enhanced. Academic is from Cambridge Assessment International Education and focuses on:
KNOWLEDGE
SKILLS
UNDERSTANDING
We want to ensure that students have a diverse, broad, and balanced international curriculum that will contribute to their overall holistic development. From an academic perspective, we are preparing our students to take the IGCSE Examinations at the end of Year 11, so we deliver the Cambridge International Educations from Year 1, right through to Year 11.
Enhanced Curriculum
The International Academic Curriculum each day is enhanced with a range of activities that are on offer after school finishes. It is important that students participate and take part in as many activities as possible as well as develop holistically, there is a great chance each student will find something they excel in and can enjoy for life. We also offer the opportunity to work towards the Junior Award Scheme for International Schools for younger students and the Duke of Edinburgh International Award for older students. These awards are recognized globally and give credit and recognition for investing time in
Developing New Skills
