Cambridge Curriculum

Cambridge Curriculum at German International School, Accra

Focusing on English, Mathematics, Science, and French as a Foreign Language

At the German International School, Accra, we offer a dynamic, inquiry-based Cambridge Curriculum designed to develop confident, responsible, reflective, innovative, and engaged learners. With a structured learning pathway from Primary through Lower Secondary, we emphasise the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, and French as a Foreign Language (Modern Language).

English

In English, our learners develop skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening through engaging texts and real-life communication contexts. The curriculum fosters creativity and precision in language use while supporting learners in becoming effective communicators.

Mathematics

Our Cambridge Maths programme builds strong foundations in number, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data handling. We guide students in developing logical reasoning, problem-solving abilities, and a deep conceptual understanding of mathematical principles.

Science

Science at GISA promotes curiosity and scientific thinking. Through hands-on experiments and theoretical learning, students explore topics in biology, chemistry, and physics, nurturing their ability to ask questions, observe systematically, and draw evidence-based conclusions.

French as a Foreign Language (Modern Language)

As a German school in an English-speaking country, we recognise the value of multilingualism. Our French programme equips learners with listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, aligned with CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) standards. Students engage with the French language in cultural, academic, and practical contexts to prepare them for global communication.

Checkpoint Examinations and Cambridge International Examinations

Students at the German International School, Accra, sit for the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint in Class 6 and the Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint in Class 9. These internationally recognised assessments provide valuable diagnostic feedback in English, Mathematics, and Science, enabling us to tailor instruction and provide targeted support for each learner’s academic journey.

Following Lower Secondary, students progress to the Cambridge Upper Secondary programme, where they prepare for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE)—a globally respected qualification that equips learners with in-depth subject knowledge and practical skills across a broad curriculum.

For post-16 education, our students pursue the prestigious Cambridge International A Level qualifications. These advanced courses are recognised by top universities and employers around the world and prepare learners for success in higher education and beyond.

By offering the full Cambridge Pathway—from Primary through A Levels—the German International School, Accra empowers students to thrive in a global community, fosters academic excellence, and nurtures a lifelong love for learning.
