Green School's Lower Secondary Curriculum (for Grades 6, 7 and 8) in the
essential subjects is based on the Cambridge International Lower Secondary
Curriculum - an internationally recognized framework developed by one of the
most reputable and longest-established education institutions in the world.
The curriculum is delivered in schools globally.
It comprises frameworks in English, Mathematics and Science which are
developed to emphasis continuity and progression throughout the years,
leading on naturally from the Cambridge International Primary Curriculum,
and into IGCSE courses.
It is organized to reflect teaching targets, and what students should master
by the end of each year group. Of course, not all students will
achieve all targets at the same time. We recognize that different students
have different abilities, learning styles and stages of development.
This remains therefore a broad framework and structure on which to plan
teaching and learning targets.
