in an age-appropriate way.

Amedeo College - Our Online Cambridge Tailored Approach

Our phased approach to online primary schooling allows students to spend time on subjects they struggle with, and master topics faster in areas of interest and natural ability. This means that they might technically be in Grade/Stage 5, but can start with Grade/Stage 4 content in certain subjects to help lay solid foundations and build up their mastery. The same child can also move forward in another subject to work that is typically only accessible in Grade/Stage 6, if they show the aptitude for it.
