Cambridge Curriculum
The Cambridge International curriculum is a globally recognized framework designed to provide a flexible, comprehensive, and progressive education for students aged 5 to 19. It is structured into different stages, allowing schools to tailor learning experiences based on students' needs and educational goals.

Homework
Learning outside the classroom is as important as online sessions. Homework provides the opportunity to practice what has been learned in class, consolidate knowledge and self-assess understanding of what has been covered in the lesson. Also, if lessons are quite far apart from each other, homework acts as the perfect revision tool in-between. Teachers will regularly assign tasks to complete before the following session, so it is important to assign specific time to do it.
In some rare occasions, we may design a project-based learning programme for nomad families who might travel to distant places during the academic year, making live attendance difficult. This programme consists of carefully planned recordings, some support sessions for learners, research projects and a considerable amount of homework. Completion of the latter two is essential to succesfully pass the final assessments.
Global Recognition
Cambridge qualifications are recognised and valued by universities all around the world, including in the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, Germany and beyond. In places such as the United States and Canada, good grades in carefully chosen Cambridge International A Level subjects can result in up to one year of university course credit.
Over 970 universities in the US formally accept Cambridge International AS & A Levels, including all Ivy League and Ivy Plus universities. These universities include Brown, Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale. Many more US universities accept Cambridge qualifications on application. In the UK, all universities accept Cambridge qualifications.
