Curriculum and Accreditation
Cambridge Educational Services - Kurdistan offers the British Cambridge curriculum which is designed to give age appropriate outcomes as the student progresses.
The curriculum focuses on cognitive and motor skills in preschool, concepts in primary school and practical approaches in middle school. At high school level, the focus of the curriculum is to prepare students for the IGCSEs and AS/A Levels.
Being accredited by the University of Cambridge International Examinations means that CESK has been a centre for Cambridge International Examinations for over six years. Our students have consistently made us proud by securing excellent grades in the official checkpoint examinations. Each year, we have new reasons to feel proud of our students’ achievements and the efforts of our teachers.
Organisation
Our Primary Years programme follows the guidelines and standards of the British curriculum within an international context.
