Cambridge Primary at International School – The First Step Towards Global Education

High-quality and world-ready early education is the foundation of every child’s academic journey and a key factor in shaping their future success.

With this in mind, International School has been awarded accreditation for the Cambridge International Primary Programme, ensuring that even our youngest learners, aged 5 to 11, have access to an internationally recognised curriculum of the highest standards.

Just as our older students benefit from the Cambridge Lower Secondary, Secondary 2 and Advanced level programmes, our youngest students can now thrive within the same world-renowned framework, designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning from the very first steps.

This recognition places International School among a select group of institutions that provide a globally respected pathway from early years through to graduation, guaranteeing consistency, excellence, and the strongest possible preparation for the challenges of tomorrow.

Cambridge International Lower Secondary programme has been accredited by Cambridge International Education – EA034. The Ministry of Education has approved of this accreditation by issuing the decision No. 022-05-203/2018-07 dated 25 August 2020, and International School was thus given permission to teach and assess according to the Cambridge International Lower Secondary curriculum. This programme helps students to adequately perfect their skills and prepare for taking tests for Cambridge pre-university qualifications – AS and A levels.

Cambridge International Primary teaching curriculum has been designated for students aged 5-11 years, i.e. from Year 1 to Year 6. In other words, this programme is for students who are entering a mandatory preschool programme within the Serbian national education system. This programme prepares students for the following steps in their education and leads them directly along the Cambridge Pathway which has been fully adjusted to their age.
 

Why should you introduce your child to the Cambridge Primary programme? 

By joining in the Cambridge International journey from an early age, you are providing your child with a world-class education recognised around the world. Beside obtaining a carefully planned and globally recognised curriculum, your child will be developing in a nurturing and stimulating environment which enhances their academic, social-emotional and metacognitive skills, as well as their overall development. Together, we inspire children to become confident, responsible, innovative, and engaged learners, ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow, by introducing them to skills and mindset to succeed both academically and personally.

A Seamless Pathway to Future Success

Entering the Cambridge pathway from an early age ensures a seamless transition to Cambridge Lower Secondary (ages 11–14), giving students consistency in their learning journey. With dedicated and experienced teachers who continuously monitor students’ development, International School provides a holistic approach to learning by balancing academic excellence with personal growth. 

Learning in English, Growing with Confidence

During their schooling within the Cambridge International Primary programme, students will attend classes only in English, without their mother language being involved, which improves their skills of communication with teachers and peers. Furthermore, students will be able to obtain valuable skills in Serbian language, which allows them to learn about Serbian culture and learn the language of the country they are studying in. In this way, International School promotes confidence building, by encouraging children to love learning and thrive in the world that surrounds them.
