- Cambridge International prepares school students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. With the Cambridge Pathway, your child is joining a global community of learners from more than 10000 schools in over 160 countries. By developing a global outlook in Cambridge learners, we aim to equip them for success in the fast-changing modern world. Cambridge International is part of the University of Cambridge and the only exam board that is wholly owned by a world-leading university. They have a 150-year history of providing international exams and are a not-for-profit organisation.
- Typically for learners aged 14 and above, Cambridge Upper Secondary is part of the Cambridge Pathway. The four stages lead seamlessly from primary to secondary and pre-university years. Each stage builds on the learners’ development from the previous one or from other educational systems. The Cambridge Pathway helps students develop deep subject knowledge, conceptual understanding and higher order thinking skills. At every stage, we also offer Cambridge Global Perspectives, a unique, transformational programme that helps students develop outstanding skills, including critical thinking, research and collaboration. Cambridge Upper Secondary offers two qualification options for Cambridge learners: Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge O Level.
- We believe that a meaningful education is more than a collection of subjects and exams. Students need to develop a set of academic skills, life skills and attitudes to be successful. Your child’s needs as a learner are at the heart of our approach to education. We work with Cambridge International to encourage learners to become confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged: confident in working with information and ideas – their own and those of others responsible for themselves, responsive to and respectful of others reflective and developing their ability to learn innovative and equipped for new and future challenges engaged intellectually and socially, ready to make a difference…
- Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds. It now attracts over 800 000 entries every year from 4800 schools in 146 different countries every year. Cambridge IGCSE gives students the flexibility to choose from 70 subjects in any combination. It is tried, tested and trusted – created more than 30 years ago, 2018 marks the 30th anniversary of the first Cambridge IGCSE exam.
- Assessment takes place at the end of the course and includes written, oral, coursework and practical assessment. This broadens opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning, particularly when their first language is not English. We work hard to make sure that our assessments are fair for all students in every country – especially as many students are non-native English speakers. This means using simple language and layouts, as well as clear command words. We also design our assessments to have no cultural bias. With a tiered structure in many subjects for different ability levels, students of all abilities are assessed positively and bright individuals have the chance to excel. The grades awarded at Cambridge IGCSE are A*–G, with A* being the highest. (9 –1 grading is available in a limited number of countries, with 9 being the highest. Schools in these countries can choose to offer A*– G or 9 –1 grades.)
- Progression Cambridge IGCSE provides more than 40 subjects in any combinationfor Cambridge Advanced and for progression to other educational systems. University recognition UK NARIC, the national agency in the UK for the recognition and comparison of international qualifications and skills, recently carried out an independent benchmarking study of Cambridge IGCSE and found it to be the same standard as UK GCSE. Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge International A Levels and Cambridge IGCSEs to meet their entry requirements. However, some colleges in the US and Canada will accept learners with five Cambridge IGCSEs at grade C or above. Many UK universities accept Cambridge IGCSE English Language qualifications as evidence of competence for university study. We recommend that students check the English language requirements of each university before making any applications.

- Cambridge O Level is an internationally recognised qualification equivalent to Cambridge IGCSE and the UK GCSE. It is typically for students aged 14 and above. It is sensitive to the needs of different countries, with a curriculum that can be adapted to the local context In some countries, schools use Cambridge O Level as an international alternative to the national examination. Learners can follow a broad and balanced study across a range of subjects with more than 40 subjects to choose from in any combination. Your child will develop subject knowledge, as well as skills like creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving.
- Assessment Assessment takes place at the end of the course and includes written, practical and oral assessment. This broadens opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning, particularly when their first language is not English. With a tiered structure in some subjects for different ability levels, students of all abilities are assessed positively and bright individuals have the chance to excel. The grades awarded at Cambridge O Level are A*–E, with A* being the highest.
- Progression Cambridge O Level provides excellent preparation for Cambridge Advanced and for progression to other educational systems. It provides a springboard to the Cambridge Advanced stage, as well as otherpost-16 routes. University recognition Cambridge O Levels are recognised by leading universities and employers worldwide as evidence of academic ability, providing an international passport to progression and success. Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge International A Levels and Cambridge O Levels to meet their entry requirements. Leading US and Canadian universities require Cambridge International AS & A Levels, but some US and Canadian colleges and universities will accept students with five Cambridge O Levels at grade C or above. The Cambridge O Level is an internationally recognised qualification equivalent to Cambridge IGCSE and the UK GCSE.
