International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is a popular international curriculum for students ages between 14 to 16 years. This curriculum leads to globally recognized and valued Cambridge IGCSE qualifications. This falls under the Cambridge Secondary 2 Stage.
Cambridge IGCSE has been developed through the extensive support extended by schools worldwide. Cambridge IGCSE provides excellent preparation for the Cambridge Advanced stage including International AS and A levels and Cambridge Pre-U. It caters to the changing needs and undergoes regular updates and extensions. Cambridge IGCSE trainers are provided with excellent support through resources, training and advice from experts.
Cambridge IGCSE encourages learner centered and curiosity based approaches to learning. Skills such as creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving are developed and get students ready for the next stage in their education. Schools build their own curriculum to cater to the local needs and define learning outcomes and content. So the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum not only caters to being internationally relevant but also keeps in mind the needs of different cultures.
The schools decide which subjects to offer and each subject is certified separately. There are over 70 subjects for students to choose and this includes more than 30 language courses that offer a wide variety of routes for learners with different abilities.
Students develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in the subject content, applying the knowledge gained to real-time situations, developing curiosity in the nature around them and being flexible and responsive to change. Apart from the core subject related skills, students also learn to write and communicate effectively in English and also become culturally aware of people and situations around them.
