Cambridge Lower Secondary offers a flexible curriculum with integrated assessment to provide a natural progression from the primary Programme to the Secondary. In a technology and media-driven environment, marked by access to an abundance of information and the ability to collaborate and make individual contributions on an unprecedented scale, 21st-century students must exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills, which the Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme helps to develop.
Students of Grades 6 to 8 study English, Mathematics, and Science, along with Global Perspectives, Social Studies, and one Second language. The Second languages offered are French or Hindi.
The computing program also develops vital skills in Information and Communication Technology. Assessment is both Formative and Summative. Formative Assessment includes day-to-day activities, presentations, projects, and lab work. Summative Assessment includes Progression Examinations at the end of each term.
