CLSP - Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme
The Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme is a framework for educational success for students approximately 11-14 years old.
The framework builds on the primary stages, and develops children’s knowledge and skills in Mathematics, English and Science.
At the end of Lower Secondary, students normally sit Cambridge Checkpoint tests which provide detailed feedback on students’ strengths and weaknesses before they move into the IGCSE.
International Benchmark
Cambridge Checkpoint tests are standardised, set and marked by CIE, so provide an international benchmark of student achievement enabling teachers to advise students and parents of the suitability of different progression routes.
IGCSE - International General Certificate of Secondary Education
The IGCSE is designed for 14–16 year olds. Students who obtain IGCSE qualifications from University of Cambridge are prepared for further academic success, and will be equipped with the skills needed for immediate employment. Cambridge IGCSE is recognised as evidence of ability by academic institutions and employers around the world.
The IGCSE provides a broad study programme across a wide range of subject areas. With a choice of Core and Extended papers in most subjects, the Cambridge IGCSE is suitable for students with different levels of ability.
The IGCSE is an internationally based curriculum, allowing teaching to be placed in a localized context, making it relevant in different regions. It is also suitable for students whose first language may not be English and this is acknowledged throughout the examination process.
