Kings’ School Nad Al Sheba Secondary proudly delivers the Cambridge International Curriculum, a global standard for education, recognised by universities and employers worldwide.

The Cambridge Curriculum, based on the English National Curriculum, is flexible, challenging, and inspiring. It builds on primary attainments and achievements, where we aim to achieve the highest levels of engagement and excitement through student-lead learning initiatives, which capture children’s interests and drive their ambitions.

Together, Cambridge and Kings’ help students to develop an informed curiosity, to think bigger, to reach higher, and to build a lifelong passion for learning. Programmes and qualifications are created by subject experts, rooted in academic rigour, and reflect the latest educational research. Every year, almost a million students follow the Cambridge pathway, developing learners who are confident, responsible, reflective, innovative, engaged, and equipped for success in the modern world.

Acknowledged for its high academic standards and its well-rounded approach to education, the Cambridge International Curriculum provides students with transferability and the opportunity to gain access to reputable universities, worldwide.
