Cambridge Primary is a flexible framework for learners aged 5–11 (Stages 1–6). It builds a solid foundation across English, Mathematics, Science, and creative and digital subjects.
Cambridge Primary covers Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Across these stages, learners study a wide range of subjects designed to build a solid academic foundation and lifelong curiosity.
The subjects assessed under Cambridge Primary include:
Assessment: Stages 1–5 use Progression Tests across all subjects, while Stage 6 assesses English, Mathematics, and Science through what are called the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint tests.
Today, more than 10,000 Cambridge schools operate in over 160 countries, making Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) one of the world’s leading providers of international qualifications.
Cambridge prepares its learners with life skills — including critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability. It nurtures global citizenship, builds confidence, and develops readiness for both university education and the modern world of work. It truly offers an education for life.
Comparison with other Indian education boards:
While ICSE, CBSE, and various State Boards in India have their own merits, the Cambridge curriculum stands apart for its practical application of knowledge combined with deep conceptual understanding.
It promotes flexibility in subject choices, inclusive education practices, and a genuinely child-centred approach that values creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking.
Rather than rote learning, Cambridge emphasizes real-life application, international awareness, and inquiry-based learning — making it an obvious preferred choice for parents and educators seeking a truly global and balanced education system.
