CAMBRIDGE LOWER SECONDARY CURRICULUM: BUILDING BRIGHT FUTURES

At the International School of Bremen, our Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum for Grades 6 to 8 is meticulously designed to build bright futures. This comprehensive program provides a robust educational framework that nurtures academic excellence while emphasising the development of essential practical skills. Students are guided through a curriculum that covers key subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, and Global Perspectives, ensuring a well-rounded education that prepares them for future academic challenges.

Our approach is student-centred, encouraging inquiry-based learning and fostering a deep understanding of each subject. The curriculum supports the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and reflective learning, empowering students to become independent and confident learners. With regular assessments through the Cambridge Checkpoint, students receive detailed feedback on their progress, helping them identify strengths and areas for improvement.

In addition to the core subjects, the curriculum also includes comprehensive programs in the arts, humanities, and physical education, promoting a holistic approach to education. This ensures that students not only excel academically but also develop creatively, physically, and socially. At ISB, we believe in nurturing the whole child, and our Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum is designed to do just that.

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES: PREPARING GLOBAL CITIZENS

Our Global Perspectives program is a key component of the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum at the International School of Bremen, aimed at preparing students to be thoughtful, informed global citizens. This innovative, skills-based program challenges students to explore a range of global issues, encouraging them to think critically and make informed judgments on topics that matter to them.

Through Cambridge Global Perspectives, students develop essential skills such as critical thinking, research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, and collaboration. These skills are not only crucial for academic success but also for their future careers and roles as active global citizens. The program provides a platform for students to engage with real-world issues, enhancing their understanding of global contexts and cross-cultural perspectives.

Projects and activities within the Global Perspectives program are designed to be dynamic and engaging, promoting inquiry and discussion. Students work on individual and group projects, fostering teamwork and communication skills. They learn to approach problems from multiple viewpoints, appreciate diverse perspectives, and develop reasoned arguments.

At ISB, we believe that the city is our campus and the world is our classroom. The Global Perspectives program embodies this philosophy, connecting students with broader global themes and issues, and preparing them to navigate and contribute to an increasingly interconnected world. Join us at ISB, where we dare to be different, and where every student is encouraged to think globally and act locally.
