Lower Secondary

The years between 11 and 14 are some of the most important in a child’s life. It’s a time when curiosity deepens, independence grows, and children begin discovering their true potential. The Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme supports this journey by giving learners strong academic foundations while also nurturing their confidence, creativity, and love for learning.

This programme is carefully designed to help children move smoothly from their primary schooling years into the challenges of higher grades, including Cambridge IGCSE.

What Children Learn

The curriculum is broad and balanced, giving every child the chance to explore, discover, and shine:

• English – To communicate clearly and develop a love for language.
• Mathematics – To think logically and solve problems step by step.
• Science (Biology, Chemistry & Physics) – To spark curiosity through experiments and discovery.
• ICT & Digital Literacy – To feel confident in today’s digital world.
• Global Perspectives – To see the world with open-mindedness and empathy.
• Languages – To grow as multilingual learners with cultural awareness.
• Humanities – To understand history, geography, and society.
• Creative Arts – To express themselves through art, drama, and music.
• Physical Education & Wellbeing – To build healthy habits, resilience, and team spirit.

Why Parents Value This Programme

The Cambridge Lower Secondary years are not just about exams. They are about helping children grow into confident, curious, and capable learners. Parents often see how their children:

• Learn to think independently and ask the right questions.
• Gain confidence in speaking, presenting, and working with others.
• Build strong subject knowledge to prepare for higher grades.
• Develop a global outlook while staying rooted in values.
• Begin to discover their strengths, talents, and passions.

Cambridge Checkpoint – Guiding Every Step

To ensure children are on the right path, Cambridge Checkpoint tests are taken at the end of Grade 5 and Grade 8.

• At Grade 5, the test helps show how ready children are to step into Lower Secondary.
• At Grade 8, it gives a clear picture of how prepared they are for IGCSE and beyond.

These assessments are not about pressure—they are about giving parents and teachers a clear, detailed understanding of a child’s progress, so we can support them where they need it most.

Ready for Tomorrow

By the end of Grade 8, children are more than ready for the academic challenges ahead. But more importantly, they grow into young individuals who are curious, confident, responsible, and ready to take on the future—not just in school, but in life.

Cambridge Lower Secondary is not just a curriculum. It is a journey of self-discovery, guided learning, and joyful growth—helping every child find their voice and their place in the world.
