Schools worldwide have been involved in the development of Cambridge IGCSE. The syllabuses are international in outlook, but retain local relevance.
The Cambridge curriculum emphasises critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as the development of strong subject knowledge. This is achieved through a combination of coursework, exams, and practical projects. Additionally, the Cambridge curriculum places a strong emphasis on creativity and innovation, and encourages students to think outside the box and explore new ideas. These skills and attributes are highly valued by universities and employers, and are essential for success in today’s rapidly changing and competitive world.
The curriculum is recognised by leading universities and colleges around the world, making it easier for students who have completed their education under this curriculum to transition to higher education. This recognition also makes it easier for students to study abroad, work or study in different countries, and be recognised for their achievements, regardless of where they are in the world.
The Cambridge Checkpoint Examination is an informative and top-notch assessment of learners at the end of the primary and lower secondary programme. The tests are marked externally by Cambridge International for Mathematics, Science and English as a first or second language. Evidently, parents and school will be able to obtain an international benchmark of learner performance which indicates potential learning needs.
Above all, Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary Checkpoint examinations provide a transitional stage for IGCSE students, by developing learner’s skills and understanding in Mathematics, Science and English for their primary and the first three years of secondary education. This provides an excellent platform to prepare for higher Cambridge qualifications, including IGCSEs.
Ultimately, Paragon International School will be able to make necessary adjustments, for individuals as well as a group of learners, to optimise the achievements and results of all our students. Remedial classes are provided for learners to target areas for improvement as well as coach and equip high achievers to maintain and elevate their targeted grade for IGCSE.
