The Cambridge Pathway is for students aged 5 to 19. Its wide range of subjects and flexibility gives schools the chance to shape the curriculum so that it is exciting and relevant for their own students. Cambridge Pathway students have the chance to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to achieve at school, university and beyond. The four stages lead seamlessly from primary to secondary and pre-university years. Each stage – Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary, Cambridge Upper Secondary and Cambridge Advanced – builds on the learners’ development from the previous one, but can also be offered separately.
Five elements lie at the heart of a Cambridge education: international curriculum, teaching and learning, assessment, international recognition and global community.
International curriculum
It offers a wide range of subjects and give schools flexibility in how to offer them, supports schools in developing a curriculum that suits their context, culture and ethos, and that they can tailor to their students’ needs.
Teaching and learning
It provides professional development for teachers, to help them improve their performance and practice throughout their careers, encourages teaching practices that develop the ability of students to reflect on their learning.
Assessment
