The Lower Secondary programme covers the unique period of early adolescence, marking the transition from Primary Years IGCSEs and A levels.

The programme provides necessary tools and skills for students to assume an increasing responsibility for themselves and their education, building on their spirit, energy and curiosity, while guiding them toward independence as young adults while keeping track of physical, social and emotional development. 

The Lower Secondary curriculum also begins to prepare students for the rigours of the IGCSE programme; many of our primary schemes end at Year 5, and are replaced by pre-IGCSE schemes and textbooks. The structure of the curriculum reflects the start of subject specialization, such as the division of social studies into geography and history.
