What is the Cambridge Curriculum?               

The Cambridge Curriculum, developed by the University of Cambridge, is a comprehensive and internationally recognized educational framework.

Cambridge Program in EFI Academy

How does EFI Academy apply this curriculum in our program?               

EFI implements the Cambridge International Curriculum across four stages of the Cambridge Pathway. Students begin with Cambridge Primary (ages 5–11), progress to Cambridge Lower Secondary (ages 11–14), continue with Cambridge IGCSE (ages 14–16), and complete their journey with Cambridge AS & A Level (ages 16–18).                 

Students in Upper Secondary usually sit for either the IGCSE or O Level examinations. Both IGCSE and O Level are assessed through oral tests, coursework and practical assessments. The most popular pre-university route for those who complete the IGCSE or O Level is the Cambridge International A Level.                

EFI Academy will adapt this curriculum to suit the needs of the student's context. In each of these four stages, there will be checkpoints and final exams throughout the year that will be marked by teachers - the people who know the students the best.                

A Clear Cambridge Pathway from Primary to AS & A Level       

The Cambridge Curriculum offers a flexible and adaptable learning pathway. Each stage can be delivered independently, allowing students to transition to other curricula at key points in their academic journey. This flexibility also enables students to begin their studies in one country and continue seamlessly in another.

At EFI, the curriculum is thoughtfully adapted to reflect local context while maintaining global standards, ensuring that all syllabus aims and assessment objectives remain consistent worldwide.
