Cambridge Lower Secondary

The Cambridge curriculum provides a globally recognized and structured educational pathway, beginning with the Primary Programme (Classes 1 to 4) and progressing to Lower Secondary (ages 11 to 14). It lays a solid foundation in key academic areas while nurturing overall development.

The Primary Programme focuses on core subjects: English, Mathematics, and Science, helping students build essential skills from an early stage. As children move from Pre-School to Grade 1, they experience a significant change in academic expectations and school routine. To support this, the approach is friendly, flexible, and developmentally appropriate.

A balanced curriculum blends academics with extracurricular activities, encouraging holistic growth. Alongside core subjects, learners are introduced to Geography, History, Information Technology, Art, and Music, fostering creativity, curiosity, and global awareness. Language development is further enhanced with the introduction of Marathi, Hindi, and French as additional language options, broadening students’ communication skills and cultural understanding.

The Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme builds on this foundation and is typically suited for learners aged 11 to 14 years. It provides a clear path forward, helping students prepare for future academic challenges. The curriculum continues to emphasize age-appropriate development while deepening subject knowledge, ensuring learners are confident, engaged, and ready for the next stage in the Cambridge Pathway.

Subjects Offered:

• Core Subjects: English, Mathematics, Science.
• Supplementary Subjects: Geography, History, Information Technology, Art, Music.
• Additional Languages: Hindi and French.
• Assessment: Cambridge Secondary 1 checkpoint tests assess learners' progress at the end of this stage.

Cambridge IGCSE Programme (Grades 9–10)

The Cambridge IGCSE programme is tailored for students aged 14 to 16, typically in Grades 9 and 10. While it builds on the foundations of Cambridge Secondary 1, prior completion of that stage is not required.

At the core of this programme is the Cambridge IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education)—the world’s most popular international qualification for this age group. It provides a strong academic foundation and prepares students for Cambridge Advanced and other national and international education systems.

Cambridge syllabuses promote a learner-centred, enquiry-based approach, encouraging students to explore concepts, ask questions, and think critically. The curriculum outlines the knowledge, understanding, and skills learners are expected to acquire and details how they will be assessed.

Key features of Cambridge IGCSE include::

• In-depth subject content
• Application of knowledge to both familiar and unfamiliar contexts
• Development of analytical and critical thinking skills
• Flexibility and adaptability
• Effective communication in English
• Cultural awareness and global understanding
• Encouragement of personal responsibility and influence on outcomes
• Assessment occurs at the end of the course and may involve written exams, oral assessments, coursework, and practicals, depending on the subject. Many subjects offer a core and extended curriculum option to suit different learning needs and ability levels.
• Cambridge IGCSE results are graded from A to G*, with internationally recognized standards that provide a clear measure of achievement.
• Overall, the Cambridge Secondary 2 programme fosters academic excellence and equips students with essential skills for future educational and career success in a global context.
