prepares school students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. We are part of the University of Cambridge.  \nOur Cambridge Pathway gives students a clear path for educational success from age 5 to 19. Schools can shape the curriculum around how they want students to learn – with a wide range of subjects and flexible ways to offer them. It helps students discover new abilities and a wider world, and gives them the skills they need for life, so they can achieve at school, university and work.  \nOur programmes and qualifications set the global standard for international education. They are created by subject experts, are rooted in academic rigour and reflect the latest educational research. They provide a strong platform for students to progress from one stage to the next, and are well supported by teaching and learning resources. Learn more about our research [at www.cambridgeassessment.org.uk/our-research/](at www.cambridgeassessment.org.uk/our-research/)  \nWe review all our syllabuses regularly, so they reflect the latest research evidence and professional teaching practice – and take account of the different national contexts in which they are taught.  \nWe consult with teachers to help us design each syllabus around the needs of their learners. Consulting with leading universities has helped us make sure our syllabuses encourage students to master the key concepts in the subject and develop the skills necessary for success in higher education.  \nWe believe education works best when curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment are closely aligned. Our programmes develop deep knowledge, conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking skills, to prepare students for their future. Together with schools, we develop Cambridge learners who are confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged – equipped for success in the modern world.  \nEvery year, nearly a million Cambridge students from 10 000 schools in 160 countries prepare for their future with the Cambridge Pathway.  \nSchool feedback: ‘We think the Cambridge curriculum is superb preparation for university.’  \nFeedback from: Christoph Guttentag, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions, Duke University, USA  \nQuality management  \nCambridge International is committed to providing exceptional quality.
