Cambridge Pathway

Primary Education (Grade 1 to 5)

English

The framework promotes an inquiry-based approach to learning to develop thinking skills and encourage intellectual engagement. Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening are about developing thinking skills and encouraging intellectual engagement. This curriculum aims to enable learners to communicate confidently and effectively and to develop critical skills in order to respond to a range of information, media and texts with enjoyment and understanding. Learners who follow this framework will develop a first language competency in English.

Science

In the present world, scientists have become an important subject as critical thinking has been promoted to enable wonders for mankind. Hence scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating evidence, planning investigative work and recording and analyzing data. The Scientific inquiry objectives underpin Biology, Chemistry and Physics, which is focused on developing confidence and interest in scientific knowledge. Environmental awareness and some history of science are also incorporated.

Mathematics

The framework enables learners to be a confident thinker and to apply learned knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject. The development of mental strategies is also a key part of the subject. The Primary Mathematics curriculum framework provides a solid foundation upon which the later stages of education can be built.

Junior Secondary (Grade 6 & 7)

English

The curriculum is an advanced version of the primary setting. This curriculum encourages learners to become more confident, creative and intellectually engaged, capable of applying their skills to respond to a range of information, media
and texts with enjoyment and understanding.

Science

The Cambridge Secondary 1 Science curriculum framework continues the journey from the Cambridge Primary Science framework and provides a solid foundation upon which the later stages of education can be built onto IGCSE level courses

Mathematics

The Cambridge Secondary 1 Mathematics curriculum framework continues the journey from the Cambridge Primary Mathematics framework and provides a solid foundation upon which the later stages of education can be built. Covering the content areas form a progressive step, preparing students for entry onto IGCSE level courses.

Senior Secondary (Grade 8 to 11)

7115 Business Studies

The aims are set to enable candidates to use relevant terminology, concepts and methods, and recognize the strengths and limitations of the ideas used in business. Candidates should apply their knowledge and critically understand issues and problems in a wide range of business contexts. To obtain this critical understanding the candidates should distinguish between facts and opinions, and evaluate qualitative and quantitative data in order to help build arguments and make judgments. They should also appreciate the perspectives of a range of stakeholders in relation to the business environment, individuals, society, government
and enterprise. It will enable them in developing the knowledge and understanding of
the major groups and organizations within and outside the business, and consider
ways in which they are able todecisions and activities.

2281 Economics

The aims are to develop candidates' knowledge and understanding of economic terminology, principles and theories. This approach will develop the basic economic numeracy and literacy and their ability to handle simple data including graphs and diagrams. Through this approach, the students should develop the ability to use the tools of economic analysis in particular situations. This will enable the student to identify and discriminate between different sources of information, how to distinguish between facts and value judgment in economic issues, and develop the ability to use economic skills (with reference to individuals, groups and organizations) to understand better the world in which we live. Furthermore, the candidate will develop an understanding of how economies are developed in developing nations and the relationships between them.

1123 English Language

A qualification in this syllabus demonstrates to universities and employers that candidates can communicate effectively in Standard English.
Through enhancing communication, creativity, critical skills and cross-cultural awareness candidates will acquire relevant competencies to qualify in standard English.

Following abilities are acquired from each competency:

• Communicative: the ability to communicate  with clarity, relevance, accuracy and variety.
• Creativity: the ability to use language, experience and imagination to respond to new
situations, create original ideas and make a positive impact.
• Critical skills: the ability to scan, filter and analyze different forms of information.
• Cross-cultural awareness: the ability to engage with issues inside and outside one’s own community, dealing with the familiar as well as the unfamiliar things. (This is not an assessment objective but forms the context of writing tasks and reading passages.)

5054 Physics / 5070 Chemistry/ 5090Biology

The main approach of these subjects will provide the candidate with a well-designed programme of experimental and practical science, a worthwhile educational experience for all candidates, whether or not they go on to study science beyond this level and, in particular, to enable them to acquire sufficient understanding and knowledge.

The aims are to become:

• Confident citizens in a technological world and to take or develop an informed interest in matters of scientific import.
• Develop abilities and skills to obtain accuracy and precision.
• Stimulate interest in and care for the local and global environment,
• To promote an awareness of co-operative and cumulative activities, that are subject to social, economic, technological, ethical and cultural influences and their limitations. This approach is made to obtain the applications of sciences, to be beneficial and detrimental to the individual, the community and the environment.

4024 Mathematics (SyllabusD)

The course should enable students to increase
intellectual curiosity, develop a mathematical language as a means of communication
and investigate and explore mathematical ways of reasoning. Furthermore to acquire and apply skills and knowledge relating to number, measure and space in mathematical situations that they will meet in life. Understanding the patterns, structure and power of Mathematics will give students confidence in understanding concepts and mastering the skills. This profound foundation will enable the student to advance to further studies in Mathematics and the skills and knowledge pertinent to other disciplines.

7110 Principles of Accounts

The aims of the Cambridge O Level Principles of
Accounts syllabus is to enable candidates to develop an understanding of the role of accounting in providing an information system for monitoring progress and decision making, develop an understanding of accounting concepts, principles, procedures and terminology, develop skills in preparing and interpreting accounting information, develop knowledge and understanding of the aims and activities of the business and non-trading organizations, their accounting implications and the accounting techniques and procedures appropriate to them, develop skills of numeracy, literacy, communication and enquiry, encourage attitudes of accuracy, orderliness, logical thought and an appreciation of professional ethics.

3205 Sinhala / 3206 Tamil / 3015/3French

The aims are to enable students to communicate accurately, appropriately and effectively inwriting, enable students to understand and respond appropriately to what they read, encourage students to enjoy and appreciate the variety of languages, complement the students‟ other areas of study by developing skills of a more general application (e.g. analysis, synthesis, drawing of inferences), promote the student's‟ personal development and an understanding of themselves and others.

7010 Computer Studies

The aim of the curriculum is to give the candidates a thorough knowledge in computer applications, the social and economic implications of the use of computers, a system of life, algorithm design and testing cycle, programming concepts, logic gates and circuits and finally generic software.

Advanced Level (AS & A2)
