Cambridge International program
The Cambridge International program provides students with a balanced training, including both compulsory subjects and disciplines that students choose (optional subject choice offered at Upper Secondary level) and which allow them to shape a personalized learning path. The curriculum is aligned with the principles and methods of teaching in the UK, therefore children benefit from studying through a well-balanced curriculum in English, through educational projects, extracurricular activities, international exchanges and many others. This provides the learners with academic training, an effective approach, rich life experiences, valuable multicultural exchanges, and academic success, both in the national and international education systems.
Cambridge International is founded on core values which develop certain attributes in the learners: confident, responsible, reflective, innovative, and engaged.
