Our Cambridge Academy is an international program that prepares school students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. We are part of the University of Cambridge.

How is a Cambridge classroom different?

• Students develop higher order thinking skills so that they can apply what they’ve learned.
• Students get to play an active role in the classroom; thinking critically, learning how to construct an argument and evaluate evidence, working independently, and collaborating with one another to bring a project to a successful outcome (and if it’s not successful, they’ll also learn lessons from reflecting on why that might be).
• Students will be encouraged to develop an international outlook, and become confident, global citizens.
• Students have to demonstrate understanding and the core knowledge of a subject, as well as think critically.
• Students will learn in a 1:1 digital environment in Cambridge classrooms.
