Cambridge Academies
We are proud to be part of the world’s largest international community of schools.
As a global not-for-profit organization with a 160-year history as part of the prestigious University of Cambridge, Cambridge International Education works with schools and institutions of higher education around the world with a shared goal of making education transformation a reality.
Cambridge programs are recognized for their rigor and quality by universities and employers around the world. Cambridge is the world’s largest provider of international education programs, with more than 10,000 schools in more than 160 countries and is the only program of study with opportunities for credit by exam developed by a renowned higher education institution, the University of Cambridge.
Cambridge exams prioritize mastery of content, skills, and written communication across all disciplines. Assessments emphasize the development of effective written and verbal communication skills. Cambridge students cultivate higher-order thinking skills crucial for academic success, including problem-solving, critical thinking, independent research, collaboration, and presenting reasoned arguments.
In the US, Cambridge's aligned curriculum, exams, and teaching resources support diverse learners, including English language learners, from Pre-K to 12th grade. This helps schools meet the unique needs of all students.
Cambridge offers college-level courses and exams in over 55 subjects with Cambridge Advanced (International AS & A Levels). For more information, please visit www.cambridgeinternational.org/usa.
