CIE Examinations (AS and A level, IGCSE, O level, Lower Secondary Checkpoint, Primary Checkpoint)
Others (AQA, CCEA GCE, CCEA GCSE)
Five elements lie at the heart of a Cambridge education: international curriculum, teaching and learning, assessment, international recognition and global community.
International curriculum
CIE offers a wide range of subjects and give schools flexibility in how to offer them; supports schools in developing a curriculum that suits their context, culture and ethos, and that they can tailor to their students’ needs.
Teaching and learning
CIE provides professional development for teachers, to help them improve their performance and practice throughout their careers; encourages teaching practices that develop the ability of students to reflect on their learning.
Assessment
CIE designs students’ assessments to be fair, valid, reliable and practicable. They assess what they know to be of value: deep subject knowledge, conceptual understanding, and higher level thinking skills. CIE’s flexible assessment structure maximises time for teaching and learning.
International recognition
CIE qualifications are widely recognised by universities and employers. Cambridge students can be confident that their qualifications will be understood and valued throughout their education and career, in their home country and internationally.
Global community
Cambridge schools belong to a worldwide education community. CIE supports professional learning communities which connect teachers around the world so that can share views, information and resources, and learn from one another.
