The Cambridge IGCSE programme fosters intellectual enquiry, enabling students to gain knowledge, understanding, and skills in their subjects. It is designed for students worldwide, including those for whom English is not their first language.

By joining the Cambridge Pathway, your child becomes part of a global learning community of over 10,000 schools across 160 countries. This programme helps develop a global perspective, preparing learners for success in a rapidly changing world.

A Cambridge IGCSE qualification is recognized by top universities globally, and employers highly value it. In the UK, the Cambridge IGCSE is considered equivalent to the GCSE. A grade C or higher in Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language is accepted by various UK universities as proof of English proficiency.

Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge IGCSEs and Cambridge International A Levels for admission. Leading universities in the US and Canada require Cambridge International AS & A Levels, though some colleges may accept students with five Cambridge IGCSEs at grade C or above.

Cambridge assessments test more than just knowledge recall; they evaluate students' ability to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize ideas. Active learning methods enhance student engagement, enabling them to achieve better grades while preparing for further education and the workplace.

Every year, nearly a million Cambridge learners from 10,000 schools in over 160 countries prepare for their future with an international education from Cambridge.

At Akal Academy Baru Sahib, we place your child's needs at the center of our educational approach. Our Cambridge Programme instills a love for learning that lasts beyond school and university.

Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE)
Let education open your heart and mind.

Our Cambridge Assessment International Education programme embraces 'active learning' in classrooms, acknowledging that students actively build knowledge in response to the learning opportunities provided by their teachers. This contrasts with traditional teaching, where knowledge is merely transmitted from teacher to student.

Active learning includes:

• Student-Centered Learning: Students take an active role in their learning, with the teacher acting as a facilitator.
• Inquiry-Based Learning: Students investigate questions, analyze evidence, connect it to prior knowledge, and reflect on their findings.
• Experiential Learning: Learning through direct experience within a meaningful context. Students thrive when learning is relevant and situational.

Learning is developmental, and educational experiences should be age-appropriate, although age and development may not always align.

Approach: Brighter and Happier Children

Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) nurtures students to develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for knowledge.

The Cambridge Pathway provides a clear path from age 5 to 19 through the Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary, Upper Secondary, and Advanced programmes. At Akal Academy Baru Sahib, we offer Upper Secondary and Advanced levels, allowing students to explore a wide range of subjects and flexible learning methods. This prepares them for excellence at school, university, and in the professional world. Our learner-centered teachers assess students' understanding and adapt their teaching to meet diverse needs. This includes:
➤ Effective questioning
➤ Sharing assessment criteria
➤ Providing feedback
➤ Peer and self-assessment
➤ Adapting teaching based on assessment data

The Cambridge approach helps develop learners who are confident in their knowledge, respectful of others' ideas, innovative, socially engaged, and ready to contribute meaningfully in any field.
