English, Maths and Science.From ages 5-18,

Overview The Cambridge International Curriculum spans both primary and secondary years . From ages 5-18, the Cambridge

International Curriculum focuses on the core subjects of English, Maths and Science.

Key benefits The Cambridge International Curriculum (CIC) is based on a set of common principles underpinned by the best educational and assessment practice. It is international in its outlook and commitment.

CIC is based on:

• Quality and coherence delivered through the curriculum

• Guaranteed assessment standards

• High quality resources

• Training and professional development

• A partnership approach

Assessment Assessment is set within a multi­purpose and flexible framework, a creative combination of formative and summative assessment.

That framework includes a comprehensive package of support for teachers and learners. It includes

detailed schemes of work and exemplar lesson plans with defined learning outcomes, resources to support teaching and learning (and not just textbooks), teacher training, and teacher professional development.

CIC provides a positive educational experience for all students, harnessing assessment as a tool for monitoring progress and adapting teaching to the needs of individuals.

The Kindergarten provides an environment that is happy, warm, secure and stimulating. Through the Early Years curriculum we enable children to develop a strong sense of self whilst also learning to play, negotiate and co-operate with others.

CChildren aged 2-5 are constantly encountering new experiences and seeking to understand them in order to extend their skills, develop their confidence and build on what they already know. They learn in different ways. Our curriculum offers a wide rangerange of experiences for all children and allows them to deepen their understanding by playing, talking, observing, planning, questioning, experimenting, testing, repeating, reflecting and responding to adults and each other.

Our curriculum is aimed at supporting, fostering, promoting and developing children’s:

Personal, social and emotional well being: •• providing opportunities that enable them to learn how to co-operate and work together• to be able to concentrate on their own play or on group tasks•• to gain an enthusiasm for knowledge and learning and a confidence in their ability to be successful learners• to become a valued member of their group and school community so that a strong sense of self-image and self-esteem are promoted.

CCommunication, language and literacy:• opportunities for all children to talk and communicate in a widening range of situations responding to adults and each other•• provide opportunities for children to explore, enjoy, learn about and use d and text in a broad range of contexts and to experience a rich variety of books.

Within focused activity sessions children will have the opportunity to work with the teacher for short periods of time and also independently have the opportunity to participate in other areas of play, including role-play, construction, small world play designed by the teacher to support and enhance their understanding of what is being taught. These will also include kinesthetic, audition and visual styles of learning.

At AIS we aim to provide a curriculum with learning opportunities that recognise and celebrate each child’s individual uniqueness, develop their full potential and prepare them to meet new challenges.

Cambridge International Primary Programme • A curriculum for children aged 5 - 11

• Excellent preparation for secondary education

• Focuses on English, Mathematics and Science skills in young children

• Shows your child's progression through primary education

• Certificate of Achievement for each child at the end of primary education

• Developed by University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE)

At AIS we aim to provide a curriculum with learning opportunities that recognise and celebrate each child's individual uniqueness, develop their full potential and prepare them to meet new challenges.

The Cambridge International Primary Programme from University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) develops English, Mathematics and Science skills in young children across the world . It provides a natural progression through the stages of primary education and focuses on what children should be able to do at each of the primary stages.

The Cambridge International Primary Programme also provides guidance for classroom teaching and learning. No part of the curriculum is compulsory. Schools can choose the parts that are right for their students, while following the national curriculum, or offer the entire programme on its own.

The Primary Programme is designed to help teachers arid parents gain a greater understanding of their children's

abilities, and their strengths and weaknesses. This is very important, as it helps teachers to know which areas to focus on for each child .

Part of the way teachers assess children's abilities, is by usin~ Primary Programme Progression Tests, which are marked by the teacher. These tests enable teachers to tell where children are in their learning.

All children who complete the Primary Programme receive a Certificate of Achievement at the end of their primary education.

English, Mathematics Checkpoint tests

and Science

What is Cambridge Checkpoint? Cambridge Checkpointtests are available in English, Mathematics and Science. Checkpoint is not a formal qualification with a certificate, although a Statement of Achievement is produced. It is a way in which CIE can help students make the most of their educational opportunities .

Cambridge Checkpoint tests:

• Are valued and accepted throughout the world for their high standards of assessment

• Are delivered worldwide through a network of schools, colleges and training providers

• Provide a good indication of Cambridge IGCSE and 0 Level results

• Were created with an international audience in mind so that they are suitable for students of all cultural and language backgrounds

• Provide teachers with detailed information about the strengths and weaknesses of their pupils in order to focus their teaching

Who can benefit from Checkpoint tests? Cambridge Checkpoint is for students around 14 years of age and is ideal for those beginning courses leading to Cambridge IGCSE Level exams in English, Mathematics and Science.

What are Checkpoint tests like? There are two papers in each subject, each approximately one hour in length . They provide good preparation for Cambridge IGCSE examinations, by allowing students to experience an external exam.

All the questions have been tested by Cambridge to ensure they are suitable for 14 year olds and provide useful information and feedback.

Tests can be taken when convenient, so that they do not disrupt other lessons. After the test, marks are carefully analysed and a report produced on the student's work . The whole process takes about four weeks .

, :. I . , . '

Report information Each student will receive a Statement of Achievement and a report that provides more detail about his or her performance.

Results are given as Checkpoint scores between 0.0 - the weakest performance - and 6.0 - the best performance. The average score is between 3.0 and 4.0. The report gives a score for the subject as a whole and for the main topics/skills, so that teachers can identify any important strengths or weaknesses . The report gives information about the questions that provided evidence of the student's strengths and weaknesses . These are the questions that the student got right, but most others of the same ability got wrong, or conversely, the questions that the student got wrong, but most others of the same ability got right.

AIS-Cambridge Checkpoint

Can Checkpoint scores be used to predict Cambridge IGCSE results?

Research has shown that Checkpoint scores are good predictors of performance in Cambridge IGCSE examinations.

Students with the same Checkpoint score will achieve a range of Cambridge IGCSE grades, because some will work harder and learn more than others .

Checkpoint Probable IGCSE Score Range Grade ---o and 1 F

1 and 2 E 2 and 3 D

3 and 4 C

4 and 5 B

5 and 6 NB

Naturally, students can do better than their predicted grade if they work harder. They will achieve less if they do not put in the effort.

Cambridge IGCSE caters for different levels of ability with a choice between core and extended papers in some subjects. The core curriculum is based on an overview of the subject and is suitable for students expected to achieve grades C to G. The extended curriculum is more challenging and designed for students who are expected to achieve grades A * to C. Grades achieved through either route have the same value .

Cambridge IGCSE offers a flexible course of study that gives candidates the freedom to choose subjects that are right for them, whilst providing them with a broad knowledge base and lifelong skills.

Where is Cambridge IGCSE accepted and recognised? Cambridge IGCSE is a high-profile qualification. It has exactly the same value in admitting students to institutes of further education and employment as the UK equivalent - GCSE.

• Cambridge IGCSE is comparable with GCE 0 Level and the UK GCSE

• Cambridge IGCSE has an excellent reputati on amongst international schoo ls worldw ide

• Cambridge IG CS Es are recognised as a reliabl e record of attainment which counts towards entry to un iversities and colleges around the world

What is Cambridge International A Level?

Cambridge International A Level is one of the most recognised qualifications around the world. For over 50 years, Cambridge International A Level has been accepted as proof of academic ability for entry to universities and institutes of higher education. They are also important to employers who frequently demand A Levels as a condition of job entry.

Cambridge International AS Level represents the first half of a full A Level course and gives students the opportunity to study a broader range of subjects without committing to doing a full A Level .

Cambridge International AlAS Levels offer a flexible course of study that gives students the freedom to select the subjects that are right for them.

Where is Cambridge International A Level accepted and recognised? Cambridge International A Level is recognised and accepted throughout the world. It is accepted by all UK and European universities and by most English-speaking universities worldwide as equivalent to UK GCE Advanced Level.

• Good A and AS Level grades are a key to admission for all the world's major English speaking universities and many non-English speaking universities

• Good grades at Cambridge International A Level can result in up to one full year of advanced standing or credit at universities in the US and Canada

• AS Level carries half the weighting of an A Level and is typically awarded half the credit value.

At this level, students have earned t he right to speciali se . Cambridge International A Level is subject-based, meaning students may choose to study fewer subjects in more depth . There are no compulsory subjects at Cambridge Internat ional A Leve l. Students may choose a route th rough Sciences, for example, or Human it ies. How eve r, the qual ifications are also highly su itab le for schools that prefer to inc lude compu lsory subjects such as Eng li sh Language or Mathemati cs .

The syllabus for each subject is set by Cambridge, but how it is taught depends on the school or college. Al l syllabuses require students to develop subject know ledge as w ell as an ability to present a w ell-reasoned argument.
