Primary (Age 5–11 Years)
Cambridge Primary starts learners on an exciting educational journey.
Cambridge Primary
Typically for 5 to 11 year olds, it provides a strong foundation for students at the beginning of their schooling before progressing through the Cambridge Pathway in an age-appropriate way. At our Cambridge International School, this stage is designed to build curiosity and confidence in every learner.
International Education is built on four key pillars:
Teaching
A world-class pedagogical framework to engage student minds and direct curiosity.
Curriculum
A broad, balanced curriculum that lays deep roots for upcoming academic milestones.
Learning
Experiential inquiry where students engage directly with key ideas and concepts.
Assessment
Evaluations designed to map growth and track child progression continuously.
"Cambridge Primary has a very flexible curriculum. It is not restrictive. I can bring local and international examples into my class, and it works very well with my students."
Ms. Chitra Gupta (PIS Facilitator)

What is Cambridge Primary Checkpoint?
Cambridge Primary Checkpoint is a series of assessments designed to assess learners at the end of the Cambridge Primary programme.
For English, Mathematics and Science, Cambridge Primary Checkpoint tests are independently marked by Cambridge International.
They will provide a clear picture of learner’s performance as they move on to the next stage of education.
This curriculum framework, with continuous experiential learning, ensures every child is assessment-ready.
“The big difference comes with the level at which Cambridge subjects are assessed, the rigorous assessment methodology and the ease at which educators can continually track student progress.”
Ms. Chitra Gupta (PIS Facilitator)
