Cambridge Lower Secondary (Grades 7–8)

Shaping Thinkers. Empowering Learners.

Our Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum challenges students to think critically, solve problems, and communicate clearly. With a focus on English, Math, and Science, we equip learners with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in IGCSE and beyond.

This stage is designed to build independence, deepen understanding, and prepare students for higher-level study.

English: Building Voices, Shaping Minds

Equipping students with the language of leadership

As students mature, our English programme helps them develop fluency, precision, and academic language skills.

Students will:

Read and analyze a range of texts, including fiction and non-fiction
Write for different purposes: essays, reports, narratives, and opinions
Practice speaking through presentations, discussions, and debates
Use English with accuracy and clarity in academic settings

By the end of Grade 8, students are well-prepared for IGCSE English and confident in their ability to express ideas in both written and spoken form.

Math: Unlocking the Power of Numbers

From numbers to logic—Solving the challenges ahead

Cambridge Lower Secondary Math provides a strong foundation for more advanced mathematical thinking and application.

Students will:

Work with fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios
Explore algebra, equations, and geometry
Analyze data and solve complex, multi-step problems
Communicate mathematical reasoning effectively

We focus on logical thinking, fluency, and problem-solving strategies that students can carry into IGCSE Math.

Science: From Hands-on to Minds-on

Investigating the world with confidence and curiosity

Science in Grades 7 and 8 becomes more structured and analytical. Students build on what they’ve learned in the primary years while developing lab skills and scientific reasoning.

Students will:

Explore cells, body systems, and the classification of living organisms.
Investigate chemical reactions, the periodic table, and basic physics concepts like energy and motion.
Study genetics, ecosystems, and environmental science.
Apply scientific methods, ensure lab safety, and analyze data through hands-on experiments.

Through hands-on experiments and real-world connections, students learn how science works—and why it matters.

Learning for Life, Thinking for the World

Connecting lessons to global Ideas and real-world issues

Our curriculum helps students make connections between what they learn and what’s happening in the world. From global literature to environmental science, learners explore topics that spark curiosity, critical thinking, and awareness of global challenges.
