At Amedeo College, our Cambridge Lower Secondary programme supports learners aged 11 to 14 with a clear, structured academic pathway. Designed to build a strong foundation for IGCSE and beyond, this stage of the Cambridge curriculum helps students grow in confidence while mastering key subjects in a way that’s developmentally appropriate. Whether your child is learning in person or online, we provide the individualised support and small class environments needed to help them thrive — especially if they face learning challenges such as ADHD, dyslexia, or autism.

Flexible, Individualised Learning for Primary Students

At Amedeo College, our phased Cambridge Primary approach gives each child the freedom to learn at their own pace. If a student needs extra time to build confidence in a subject, they can revisit earlier Grade or Stage 4 content to strengthen their foundation — even while officially enrolled in Stage 5. At the same time, they can advance to Stage 6 content in subjects where they show strong aptitude or interest. This personalised model ensures that every learner receives the right level of challenge and support, helping them progress with confidence across all subjects.
