The academic session at Cambridge International School follows the Cambridge International Curriculum. Each academic year is divided into three terms:
Term 1: September – December
Term 2: January – April
Term 3: May – July
This schedule provides structured learning, timely assessments, and breaks that support students’ academic and personal growth.
Cambridge programmes emphasize both breadth and depth of learning. Each subject carries credit weightage that reflects:
Classroom Teaching (theory lessons)
Practical Work (labs, projects, ICT, fieldwork)
Independent Study & Assignments
Credits ensure students balance theory with hands-on application, in line with global education standards.
Pre-Primary: Nursery to Senior (3 years)
Primary: Classes 1 – 6 (6 years)
Lower Secondary: Classes 7 – 9 (3 years)
Upper Secondary (IGCSE): Classes 10 – 11 (2 years)
Advanced Level (AS & A Level): Class 12 – 13 (2 years)
This structure allows students to progress step by step, with smooth transitions at each stage.
Cambridge students are evaluated through a mix of continuous assessment and final examinations, ensuring both consistent effort and performance under examination conditions.
Continuous Assessment (40–50%)
Class participation
Homework & projects
Practical work & presentations
Final Examinations (50–60%)
Cambridge set or school-based tests
Standardized marking criteria to ensure fairness
Practical subjects may be assessed fully through continuous coursework and projects.
Cambridge uses internationally recognized grading standards:
Primary & Lower Secondary: Progression tests & Cambridge Checkpoints
IGCSE: Graded from A (highest) to G*
AS & A Level: Graded from A to E*
Grades reflect not only knowledge but also application, analytical skills, and creativity.
While Cambridge awards grades, schools also track student performance using internal GPA/CGPA equivalents to monitor overall progress across all subjects.
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average): Performance per term/semester
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average): Overall achievement throughout the programme
Cambridge International School provides a balanced, globally benchmarked education that nurtures academic excellence, personal growth, and future readiness. Students graduate prepared for university study and lifelong learning.
