The Cambridge IGCSE Curriculum is based on the British curriculum (IGCSE) but adapted for a more internationally-focused student body.  Assessments are done mainly by examination through the exam board of the school’s choice. The most well-known are Cambridge Assessment International Education and Edexcel. The Cambridge exam board offers over 70 subjects, including 30 languages. The aim is to be as inclusive as possible to students from a wide variety of linguistic backgrounds. This allows them to continue studying their mother tongue. The Cambridge IGCSE Curriculum allows for differing levels of ability by offering both Core and Extended curriculum papers in some subjects.

As a result, the Cambridge IGCSE Curriculum establishes solid foundations for the IB Diploma in terms of topic knowledge. Exam conditions will be familiar to IGCSE pupils as well. IGCSE students may lack knowledge of the IB Diploma’s inquiry-based learning methodology and criteria-based assessment method, as well as specific abilities such as independent research. In conclusion, in terms of content, the Cambridge IGCSE Curriculum may be a fully appropriate base for the IB Diploma. All schools will have different approaches to managing data balance and, as a result, the 21st-century skills that are so vital in today’s environment, and which may make the transfer from IGCSE to IB Diploma easier.
