Cambridge Secndary

Cambridge Secondary 1 is an education programme for learners aged 11 to 14 years that builds skills, knowledge and understanding in English, mathematics
and science.

Cambridge Primary is taught in more than 1,000 schools in over 100 countries. The programme is designed to develop young learners who are confident, reflective, innovative and engaged.

Grand Mount International School promises a rich and all-encompassing Cambridge Primary International Curriculum for primary students. Our school is in the process of authorization from Cambridge Assessment International Education.

Our Subject

Cambridge Global English

Cambridge Global English is specifically for learners of English as a Second Language. It focuses on Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening as well as vocabulary building and the use of correct grammar in fun, topical and creative ways to engage all learners.

Cambridge endorsed Top Maths

Top Maths is a spiraled programme, meaning that skills are revisited at each level to build confidence and competence as a child progresses over the years. For each stage there are two textbooks, two workbooks.

Cambridge Primary Science

Cambridge Primary Science encourages enquiry and the language is written to be accessible to second language learners. It comes with Learner’s, Activity, Challenge and Skills Builder’s book to consolidate learning.

Oxford International Geography

Oxford International Geography is a complete six year programme that provides an engaging introduction to the subject by using real life examples of both human and physical geography, such as basic map making to meeting the needs of the world’s population.

Oxford International History

Oxford International History develops inquisitive and engaged learners through a six year programme, covering all of the world’s major eras and events and helping to provide a fuller understanding of how the world has evolved to date.

Cambridge ICT Starters

Cambridge ICT Starters is a must nowadays – we all know how important computers have become in our lives. The programme gives learner’s ICT competence in computer programming, word processing, digital graphics, databases, spreadsheets, email, presentations, video/animation, the internet and web authoring. We also look at safety and the adaption of work to suit its audience.

Chinese as a Foreign Language

Chinese A programme in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening in Mandarin is a must in Cambodia now. We base ours on the popular Chinese Young Learners and basic levels of the HSK. Most importantly, we aim to make this subject as much fun as possible.

Physical Education

Physical Education is a vital part of a balanced school curriculum. Regular exercise improves physical and mental health and there is growing evidence that it improves academic performance across the curriculum. Establishing good patterns of exercise in primary school provides learners with the foundation for an active and healthy lifestyle.
