Personalised Online Primary Schooling That Adapts to Every Learner

At Amedeo College, our flexible Cambridge Primary online programme is designed to meet each student where they are. Learners may be enrolled in Grade/Stage 5, but can revise Stage 4 content in subjects where they need more time to build strong foundations. At the same time, if they excel in another subject, they can progress to Stage 6 material ahead of schedule. This personalised, phased approach ensures that every child develops mastery at their own pace — advancing confidently, without pressure or limits.
