Cambridge Lower Secondary

Grades 6 - 8

Our Cambridge Lower Secondary (Middle School) years build on the inquiry-based foundations of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and support students as they transition to the Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum. This stage strengthens independent learning, critical thinking and subject knowledge, while continuing to nurture curiosity and collaboration.

The Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum is broad, balanced and internationally recognised. Students study English, Mathematics and Science alongside Humanities, Global Perspectives, Languages, the Arts and Physical Education.
