Why study the Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum?
The Cambridge Lower Secondary (CLS) is a curriculum that is international in philosophy and approach, while being flexible enough to be adapted for an individual school's specific needs. It is designed for students aged 11 to 14, to develop higher order thinking skills and a strong academic foundation to pursue the widely recognised IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10.
The Cambridge curriculum is followed in over 10,000 schools in over 160 countries worldwide.
What GIIS offers?
Certified teachers
Our passionate and highly-qualified teaching community encourages students to become confident in working with information and ideas. They nurture higher order thinking skills like problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration and independent research in students through the programme. This prepares our students to be future-ready.
Subject expertise
The CLS offers students the core subjects of English, Maths and Science along with Global Perspectives, Information and communication technology, Design and Technology, Second language and more to broaden their knowledge and perspectives. Assessments test how students apply their knowledge, rather than simply memorising information.
Holistic education
Students in the Cambridge programme inculcate the Cambridge Learner Profile attributes of Confident, Engaged, Responsible, Reflective and Innovative Learners. At GIIS, we ensure our students are well-rounded by encouraging participation in sports, arts, music, leadership and service opportunities, schools clubs, community projects and more.
How your child will benefit from the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme
As an international curriculum, the Cambridge Lower Secondary will help your child develop a broader, more global outlook, become more culturally sensitive, while building a strong foundation for higher studies, specifically the IGCSE.
The Cambridge programme values deep conceptual understanding of topics and making connections between different aspects of a subject. Your child will learn to analyse, research, think critically and present an argument based on his/her perspective.
At GIIS, our collaborative learning environment, skills-based labs and studios, various co-curricular and extracurricular activities will nurture your child to find their interests, pursue their passions and excel in all that they want to do, with the support of our dedicated teachers.
Additional Programmes
We provide multiple platforms for students to develop skills that will be useful to them in the future. This includes various inter-school competitions, cultural events, workshops and bootcamps. Students also have the opportunity to be a part of school clubs.
Moderate Fee
Quality education is a must for every child. Fees for our Cambridge international programme are moderate, compared to other international schools, while offering best-in-class facilities, experienced teachers and a well-rounded education.
