Cambridge Primary is an international education programme that is taught in more than 2500 schools in over 120 countries around the world. It gives learners a strong foundation of knowledge, understanding and skills at the beginning of their schooling. With eleven subjects to choose from, including English, mathematics and science, there are plenty of opportunities for learners to develop creativity, expression and wellbeing.
The programme also includes a range of assessments to help teachers identify learners’ strengths and weaknesses, and monitor their development as they progress through primary education.
Rod Smith, Group Managing Director for International Education at Cambridge said: “We are delighted that GDYNIA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL has joined our global community of Cambridge Primary schools. Our Cambridge Primary programme starts learners on an exciting educational journey, helping them to thrive in and outside the classroom and giving them a firm foundation for the next stage of education.”

It gives the parents significant reassurance that our school meets the standards set by Cambridge International Education. It also puts the staff on track for developing new skills through the various courses offered by Cambridge”.
