The Cambridge Early Years Programme offers an inspiring start to your child’s learning journey. Designed for children aged 3 to 6 years, the programme nurtures curiosity, confidence and creativity through engaging and play-based learning experiences.
With a strong focus on communication, early literacy, numeracy, social-emotional development and physical well-being, children learn in a safe, caring and stimulating environment.
The Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) starts learners on an exciting educational journey. It lays a strong foundation for higher grades starting from Level 1 through 5.
CS International blends the best practices of traditional Indian education and those of the Cambridge Programme. The subjects all learners study are English, Mathematics, Science, Global Perspectives and Computer studies. Selected second language choices are available.
The Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme at CS Academy covers Levels 6 to 8. The programme is a natural progression from the CIPP, though it is not mandatory to have completed it. The subjects available are English, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Global Perspectives, Computer Science and selected languages. While the content is blended with CBSE in certain areas, the approach is predominantly Cambridge. The programme provides a sound foundation of all the skills needed for further education in any board of education in grade IX. The programme culminates in an optional examination called Checkpoint, conducted by Cambridge.
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is the gold standard grade X qualification in the world. At CS Academy International, most students take eight subjects, spread across six subject groups to give a strong broad-based foundation to build upon. The student who takes subjects in all six groups (English, Mathematics, Science, II Language, Vocational and Humanities) gains the International Certificate of Excellence (ICE Award). More importantly, the student is exposed to a variety of subjects including Economics, Accounts, Computer Science which provides an opportunity to evaluate their interest before selecting subjects in grade XI. While A levels are the natural progression for most students, some students successfully move to CBSE in grade XI, especially for taking Indian competitive examinations like NEET and JEE.
