Cambridge Primary Curriculum

The Cambridge IGCSE Primary Curriulum is for children age 5-11 years.

The 3 main subjects taught are:

• English
• Math
• Science

Each year of their education is marked in Stages, thus Stage 1 to 6:

• Stage 1 (5 years): Cambridge already teaches how to read and write!
• Stage 2 (6 years)
• Stage 3 (7 years): In Islam, this should be age to start formal education.
• Stage 4 (8 years)
• Stage 5 (9 years)
• Stage 6 (10 years): The children's "light bulbs" have just turned on!

Yet at age 10 they are already learning so much! Let's take a look in the upcoming posts.
