Why parents choose the International British Curriculum
Six things this pathway gets right, from enrolment day to the final exam.
Two exam boards, one school
Students prepare for examinations set by Cambridge Assessment International Education and Pearson Edexcel. Choose the board that suits each subject, or combine both.
Recognised by universities worldwide
International GCSEs and A Levels are accepted by universities in more than 160 countries, from the UK and Europe to South Africa, Australia and the US.
Live lessons from subject specialists
Every subject includes weekly live lessons taught by specialist teachers. Each lesson is recorded, so a missed class or a tricky topic can be rewatched before exams.
Placement by readiness, not birthday
Students are placed at the level where they can do their best work. Strong learners move ahead, and those who need more time get it.
Enrol in any month
Admissions stay open all year. There is no fixed intake date, and the structured 12-month academic cycle begins the day your child starts.

The International British Curriculum, often called the Cambridge curriculum, is a structured pathway that takes students from Early Years at age 4 through to A Levels at 19. At CambriLearn it runs across four stages, with weekly live lessons at every level and externally examined qualifications from International GCSE onwards, set by Cambridge Assessment International Education and Pearson Edexcel.
For a deeper look at stages, subjects and university recognition, read our Cambridge curriculum guide.

What makes our British pathway different
Most online schools commit to a single exam board. CambriLearn runs both, and backs them with the structure of a real school.

"My daughter swims competitively, and for the first time her school day works with her training instead of against it. Her marks have gone up since she moved across."
"We moved from London to Cape Town mid-year and braced ourselves for chaos. He kept the same curriculum and the same subjects, and barely broke stride."
"Our daughter earned 8 A*s in her International GCSEs and now holds a place at a top UK university. Her teachers were behind her the whole way."

Common questions from parents
Everything you need to know about the International British Curriculum at CambriLearn.
What are the fees for the International British Curriculum?
Fees depend on the level, the number of subjects and the package you choose. Monthly instalments are spread over 10 months, and full pricing is published on our pricing page.
Can my child start at any time of year?
Yes. Admissions are open all year round. There is no fixed intake date, and the structured 12-month academic cycle begins on your child's enrolment date.
How are lessons taught?
Subject specialist teachers run weekly live lessons for every subject, and each lesson is recorded so students can rewatch it for revision. Premium students also get weekly question and answer sessions and direct teacher chat during business hours.
Which exam boards does CambriLearn offer?
CambriLearn prepares students for examinations set by Cambridge Assessment International Education and Pearson Edexcel. Your consultant will help you choose the right board for each subject.
Is the International British Curriculum the same as the Cambridge curriculum?
Parents often call it the Cambridge curriculum. CambriLearn teaches the International British Curriculum, which prepares students for examinations set by Cambridge Assessment International Education and Pearson Edexcel. CambriLearn is not a registered Cambridge school, and students write these examinations as private candidates at registered examination centres.
How do British curriculum stages compare to South African grades?
By age, Early Years and Primary cover Grade R to Grade 6, Lower Secondary covers Grade 7 to Grade 9, International GCSE covers Grade 10 to Grade 11, and AS and A Levels cover Grade 12 and beyond. CambriLearn places each student by readiness rather than age, so a consultant confirms the right starting level.
Are International GCSEs and A Levels accepted by universities?
Yes. These qualifications are accepted by universities in more than 160 countries, including the UK, the USA, Australia, Canada and South Africa.
Can my child qualify for South African universities with British qualifications?
Yes. With the correct International GCSE, AS and A Level combination, students apply for a foreign qualifications exemption through the USAf Matriculation Board.
Is CambriLearn a homeschooling programme?
No. CambriLearn is an accredited online private school, not a homeschooling programme. Families comparing British curriculum homeschooling options often choose CambriLearn because it provides what homeschooling asks parents to supply themselves: subject specialist teachers, weekly live lessons, marked assessments and a structured academic year.
How much parent involvement is needed?
Primary students need help with routine and motivation. From Lower Secondary onwards most students work independently, and progress reports keep you informed.
How do exams work for online students?
International GCSE, AS and A Level students write external examinations as private candidates at registered examination centres. The examining body sets and marks the papers, then issues results and certificates directly to the student.
