The International School of Secunderabad (ISS), Alwal, part of the Crimson Schools Network, is introducing the Cambridge Primary Curriculum for students in Grades 1 and 2 from June 2025. This globally recognized curriculum, implemented in over 160 countries, fosters analytical thinking, creativity, and subject mastery through an adaptable, structured approach and equips young learners with the skills needed for their holistic development.
The Cambridge Curriculum encourages exploration, discussion, and practical application. Students gain a deeper understanding in a wide range of subject disciplines while refining their ability to question, analyze, and draw connections between concepts.
Speaking on the development, Husien Dohadwalla, CEO Crimson Schools, said, “International education must go beyond academics to support a child’s overall development. The Cambridge Primary Curriculum ensures a smooth shift from early exploratory learning to progression-based academic engagement, allowing students to develop cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional skills alongside subject proficiency. It also aligns with NEP 2020’s emphasis on foundational literacy and numeracy, competency-based learning, and multilingual exposure in primary education. By combining play-based methodologies with assessments, this curriculum prepares learners for higher grades across boards while giving parents the assurance of a globally recognized foundational education system. The learning experience is further enriched with well-structured extracurricular programs, including STEM, performing arts, and specialized sports training through academy collaborations.”
