Cambridge Lower Secondary

A Strong Academic Bridge to Future Success

At Uppsala International School, the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme provides students aged 11 to 14 with a dynamic and future-focused academic journey. Building on the solid foundation established in Cambridge Primary, this stage of the Cambridge Pathway deepens students' understanding across subjects while developing the essential skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing global landscape.

Through a well-structured curriculum that includes English, Mathematics, Science, Global Perspectives, and ICT, students are challenged to think critically, solve problems creatively, and collaborate effectively. Lessons are designed to be inquiry-based and interactive, encouraging learners to take ownership of their education and make meaningful connections between knowledge and real-world application.
