Lower Division Cambridge Secondary 2
Overview
Cambridge IGCSE subjects are typically studied by Lower Division students in Grades 9 and 10. They build a solid foundation for further study.
Cambridge IGCSE is the world's most popular international curriculum for 14 - 16 year olds.
Cambridge IGCSE
A wide choice of subjects is available at Cambridge IGCSE. Students will generally study each subject for a year and end each course with an examination. We award a certificate of achievement and a grade (from A* to G) for every Cambridge IGCSE examination passed.
The content covered in each subject is clearly explained, with the skills and knowledge we expect each student to develop along the way.
