Key information on the Lower Secondary School Courses as required by Committee for Private Education (CPE):

1. Manner in which every course is taught:

We offer all of our students a rigorous, yet balanced, inquiry-based education on a full time basis.

The core of our academic program for Lower Secondary school, is the Cambridge International Lower Secondary Curriculum with self developed Mandarin. Over 10,000 schools more than 160 countries follow the Cambridge international curriculum. The Cambridge international curriculum sets a global standard for education, and is recognised by universities and employers worldwide.

Throughout the academic year, our students are involved in highly engaging learning experiences which develop not only their academic understanding but also their sense of responsibility to the world in which they live.

2. Requirements for Enrolment and graduation in respect of every course:

Requirements for enrolment are found here: Requirements for Enrolment (Course Entry Requirements)

Graduation from each course requires completion of the course for which the student is registered. The student should be age appropriate for graduation from each course (unless age exemption applies) and should demonstrate understanding of the course content.

At the end of Year 9 learners will sit for the Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint Examinations in core subjects of Mathematics, English and Science. Cambridge Checkpoint examinations are international assessments set by Cambridge and marked in the UK by Cambridge. These results are recognised worldwide.
