Why this pathway

Why parents choose the International British Curriculum

Six things this pathway gets right, from enrolment day to the final exam.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

A school community, online and in person

CambriCommunity brings students together through clubs, events, meetups and study groups. Classmates turn into real friends.

The curriculum, explained

What is the International British Curriculum?

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.

The CambriLearn difference

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.
