Cambridge

A Pathway to Success

What is Cambridge?

At Generation Schools, we are proud to offer the prestigious Cambridge International Curriculum, a globally recognised framework designed to prepare students for success in education and life. Our pathway offerings are meticulously crafted to ensure that every student receives a comprehensive, balanced, and enriching education. 

The Cambridge International Curriculum provides a seamless progression from primary through to secondary schooling years. It begins with the Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary programmes, laying a strong foundation in core subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Science. These early years emphasise the development of curiosity and a love for learning, with a focus on building essential skills in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking. 

As students advance, they move on to the Cambridge Upper Secondary (IGCSE) stage. The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is a globally recognised qualification that offers a diverse range of subjects. Students can choose from a variety of disciplines including languages, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and the arts (campus-dependent). The IGCSE programme is designed to develop students’ understanding, application, and critical thinking skills in each subject area. 

The final stage, Cambridge Advanced (AS and A Level), prepares students for university and higher education. These qualifications are highly regarded by universities around the world. The AS and A Level programmes offer in-depth study in subjects of the students’ choice, fostering independence, analytical skills, and a deeper understanding of each subject. This stage encourages students to engage in self-directed learning and research, providing a solid foundation for tertiary education and beyond.
