Welcome to Cambridge.
Cambridge International
Examinations prepares school students for life, helping them develop an
informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. We are part of Cambridge
Assessment, a department of the University of Cambridge.
Our international qualifications are recognised by the world’s
best universities and employers, giving students a wide range of options in their
education and career. We devote our resources to delivering high-quality
educational programmes that can unlock learners’ potential. Our programmes and
qualifications set the global standard for international education. They are
created by subject experts, rooted in academic rigour and reflect the latest
educational research. They provide a strong platform for learners to progress
from one stage to the next, and are well supported by teaching and learning resources.
We develop our qualifications according to our Code of Practice and the
Cambridge Approach. We are accredited as an awarding body
by Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation),
the UK government’s regulator for awarding organizations and qualifications in England. Every year,
nearly a million Cambridge
learners from 10 000 schools in
160 countries prepare for their future with an international
education from Cambridge.

Cambridge programmes and
qualifications
Cambridge programmes and qualifications are carefully designed to
engage your learners and give them solid foundations to achieve high levels of
academic and personal attainment.
The
programmes are progressive, giving you and your learners a clearly defined path
to success from 5 to 19years. Our four stages lead seamlessly from primary to secondary
and pre-university years, and each stage builds on the learners’ development
from the previous one.
We
offer flexibility, allowing you to shape Cambridge curricula to the needs and abilities
of your learners. You can offer our programmes and qualifications for learners
at every stage, or focus on specific ones.
Our
programmes and qualifications are compatible with other curricula, so you are
free to build a unique curriculum that suits your school’s values. When you register
with us we will give you support and guidance on how to implement Cambridge
programmes, so that you make a smooth transition.
We offer comprehensive support in four areas, designed carefully
around the needs of Cambridge learners and teachers:
• Curriculum: develops learners’
knowledge, understanding and skills. Our curriculum sets clear goals for
learners and teachers.
• Classroom: support and guidance helps
teachers and learners perform to their maximum ability. We offer world-class
teacher and learner resources.
• Qualifications: provide learners with a
global passport to success. We offer reliable, rigorous and flexible
assessment, leading to internationally recognized qualifications.
• Community: brings Cambridge schools,
teachers and learners closer together through the sharing of best practice and
ideas.
