Middle School

At Uppsala International School, our Middle School programme (Ages 11–16) offers a seamless academic journey through Cambridge Lower Secondary and IGCSE, fostering critical thinking and global awareness. We empower students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to excel in higher education and beyond.​

Cambridge Lower Secondary (Ages 11–14)

Laying the Groundwork for Academic Confidence

The Cambridge Lower Secondary programme at UIS is the next step after Cambridge Primary and is designed to strengthen core knowledge while nurturing intellectual curiosity. Covering key subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, Global Perspectives, and ICT, students begin to think more analytically and make real-world connections through inquiry-based learning.

Students are guided by expert teachers who support the development of collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills—essential foundations for the transition to IGCSE and beyond.

Cambridge Upper Secondary / IGCSE (Ages 14–16)

Globally Recognised Qualifications for Future Pathways

At UIS, students in Cambridge Upper Secondary follow the IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) programme—an internationally benchmarked qualification recognised by universities and employers around the world.

With a wide selection of academic and creative subjects, students personalise their learning journey to align with their strengths, interests, and future goals. The IGCSE programme emphasises both academic depth and real-world application, fostering independence, research abilities, and strong communication skills.
