MIDDLE SCHOOL

GRADE 7 – 8 (Key Stage 3)

The Middle School follows the Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme, which builds on the primary stage, and develops children’s knowledge and skills in Mathematics, English and Science. The Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme offers schools a means of tracking student progress through the lower secondary phase, as at the end of lower secondary, students can sit the Cambridge Checkpoint tests which provide detailed feedback on students’ strengths and weaknesses before they move into the IGCSE stage.
The Lower Secondary Programme has been developed to link seamlessly with the Cambridge International Primary Programme and it also provides excellent preparation for students embarking on IGCSE courses.
The idea behind the Cambridge Checkpoint service is to provide teachers access to standardized tests that provide feedback on a student's strengths and weaknesses in key curriculum areas. The advantage of such a system is that teachers can then pay more attention to the child and tailor an individual study programme for the student according to his/ her needs. They can also report to parents by providing them detailed information on the progress of their child and also help in the prediction of the students’ formal examinations.
The school introduces special values and traditions of a ‘day boarding’ school along with teaching concepts and skills within an international style of education that will benefit students of all nationalities in this international setting.
The learning process, which is child-centred, teaches students to think for themselves and encourages initiative, innovation and participation. Assessment is on-going and within the designated Performance Levels and Attainment Targets established by University of Cambridge International Examinations. Progress is monitored carefully through examinations.
