Cambridge English
On-site preparation for international certifications
New School prepares pupils for Cambridge English certifications and welcomes the test sessions in our own premises.
Cambridge English certifications, developed by the University of Cambridge, are the most recognised assessment of English proficiency for non-native speakers. They are widely accepted by middle schools, high schools, universities and employers worldwide.
At New School, preparation is integrated into the bilingual programme. Pupils are prepared in class by our English-speaking teachers, in alignment with the Cambridge framework. Sessions are organised on site when the pupil's level allows for it.
Whether a child takes the exam depends on their age, language level and readiness. Presentation is not automatic and success is not guaranteed, but our pupils benefit from a real opportunity to obtain an internationally recognised qualification before entering middle school.
