21K School offers Cambridge curriculum for learners aged 3 to 19. 21K School is an approved Cambridge Online School bearing affiliation number IA702.
Cambridge International is used in over 10,000 schools in 160 countries. It began over 160 years ago when the University of Cambridge established the Local Examinations Syndicate to raise educational standards by administering exams to people who were not members of the University and by inspecting schools. Today, the Syndicate operates as Cambridge Assessment International Education, part of the International Education group of Cambridge University Press & Assessment.
The Cambridge Pathway
Cambridge programmes and qualifications set the global standard for international education. They are created by subject experts, rooted in academic rigour, and reflect the latest educational research.
The Cambridge Pathway provides a flexible progression from primary through secondary and pre-university education. Schools can shape the curriculum around how they want learners to learn. The Pathway serves learners aged 3 to 19, giving them the knowledge and skills they need to succeed at school, university, and beyond.
The five stages of the Cambridge Pathway lead seamlessly through Early years, Primary, Lower secondary, Upper secondary, and Advanced levels. Each stage builds on the learners' development from the previous stage but can also be offered separately.
Every year, nearly a million Cambridge learners prepare for their future with an education from Cambridge International.
- Cambridge Primary is taught in more than 2,500 schools in over 120 countries, with over 130,000 entries annually for Cambridge Primary Checkpoint.
- Cambridge Lower Secondary is taught in more than 4,000 schools in nearly 140 countries.
- Cambridge IGCSE is the world's most popular international qualification for 14 to 16-year-olds, offered in over 150 countries and in nearly 6,000 schools.
- Cambridge O Level qualifications are also taught in more than 50 countries.
- Cambridge International AS & A Levels are taken in more than 130 countries, with hundreds of thousands of students entering each year.

Important Note:
- A minimum cohort of 10 learners is required to offer a subject. If enrolment falls below this number, learners may be asked to opt for an alternative subject.
- Learners may be advised to change subjects within the first term of Year 1 based on academic performance and the recommendation of the Principal.
- Examination series availability (March, June, November) is subject to Cambridge International schedules, and not all subjects are offered in every series.
- 21K School enrols learners at AS Level, with the option to extend subjects to A Level in Year 2.
- The school follows Cambridge University Press and Cambridge-endorsed coursebooks for all subjects.

- Examination centres are available globally. Learners may register at approved examination centres across the world, either through the school (if the school is a registered centre) or as private candidates at authorised centres.
- Board registration and examination fees are mandatory and payable to the examination centre. A board registration fee is applicable at the time of registering for board examinations and must be paid directly to the centre where the learner registers. Examination fees are determined by the board and are subject to revision every year.
- School fees and board fees are separate. The school fee is payable to the school for academic facilitation, teaching, and learning support. Board registration and examination fees are not included in the school fee and must be paid separately to the examination centre.

- Cambridge IGCSE: Board examinations are taken at the end of Year 2 of the IGCSE programme.
- Cambridge International AS Level: Examinations are typically taken after one year of study.
- Cambridge International A Level: Examinations are taken at the end of the full A Level programme, either through staged or linear assessment pathways, as applicable.
