Academic Curriculum Overview Empowering Learners through the Cambridge Pathway
At our English-medium school, we proudly follow the globally recognized Cambridge Curriculum, a
world-class educational program that fosters academic excellence, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
Designed by Cambridge Assessment International Education, this curriculum prepares students for
success in school, university, and life beyond.
The Cambridge Pathway is divided into four key stages:
