We have great pride in saying that we became a Cambridge International Examinations school within 4 months of opening. This possibly record breaking achievement was only made possible with the dedication of our teaching and administration team.

- The world’s largest provider of international education programmes and qualifications for 5 to 19 year olds.
- Providing a wide range of subjects and a flexible curriculum that can be adjusted to suit learners’ local cultural and linguistic needs.
- The Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds. It is tried, tested and trusted by schools worldwide.
- Proven reputation for being an excellent preparation for university, employment and life.
- Yearly, thousands of learners use their qualifications to get places at top universities around the world.
- Providing first-class support to schools and teachers through publications, online resources, training and professional development.
- Constantly investing in research and development to improve their programmes and qualifications.
How does a Cambridge programme work?
The Cambridge programme takes students on a journey through Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Secondary 1, Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International AS & A Level. Students can join at any stage.
The curriculum in each stage has aims and objectives that support students to become confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged. These are the attributes of Cambridge learners.
