Grade 8 Cambridge Checkpoint Orientation

Paragon International School Cambodia is a Cambridge International School and Examination Centre.
At Paragon ISC, we provide information sessions about the subject choices and their benefits and implications for further studies. Read below what Cambridge has to say about the secondary programme:
“Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) prepares students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. It is part of Cambridge Assessment, a department of the University of Cambridge. Cambridge Pathway gives students a clear path for educational success from age 5 to 19. Schools can shape the curriculum around how they want students to learn – with a wide range of subjects and flexible ways to offer them. It helps students discover new abilities and a wider world, and gives them the skills they need for life, so they can achieve at school, university and work.
What is Cambridge Lower Secondary?
Cambridge Lower Secondary is an education programme for learners aged 11 to 14 years that builds skills, knowledge and understanding in English as a first and second language, mathematics, science, Cambridge ICT Starters and Cambridge Global Perspectives.
Cambridge Lower Secondary builds on the foundations of Cambridge Primary, although it is not essential to have completed that stage. Cambridge Lower Secondary is offered by nearly 2300 schools in over 130 countries worldwide.
Benefits for your child
Cambridge Lower Secondary provides a natural progression from primary education, helping to equip your child with the knowledge and skills needed for post-14 education programmes that lead to formal qualifications.
The programme is flexible, allowing the curriculum to be tailored to the needs and culture of each school while remaining internationally relevant. It is suitable for students with English as a first or second language.
Teachers are able to monitor your child’s development through a number of progress checks built into the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme. Short progression tests are a valuable way for teachers to understand your child’s strengths and identify areas where more help is needed.
The focus of these tests is showing where your child is on their learning journey, rather than getting right or wrong answers. Your school can choose between paper-based and on-screen versions of the progression tests.
Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint tests are marked in Cambridge and can be taken in the final year of Cambridge Lower Secondary. On completion of Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint, your child will receive a statement of achievement and you will receive detailed feedback about your child’s performance.
This will help your school to advise on different progression routes after age 14 and choose the one that will be most suitable for your child.
A global learning community
With the Cambridge Pathway, your child is joining a global community of learners from more than 10 000 schools in over 160 countries. By developing a global outlook in Cambridge learners, we aim to equip them for success in the fast-changing modern world.”
