At Fravashi International Academy, parents in Nashik expect a curriculum that not only builds knowledge but also develops capability. This is exactly what the Cambridge Primary Curriculum (ages 5–11) delivers: a balanced mix of core subjects, creative expression, and essential future-ready skills.

Cambridge Primary: A Flexible, Multi‑Subject Framework


The Cambridge Primary Curriculum offers over ten subjects, including:
• Core: English (including ESL), Mathematics, Science
• Enriching: Art & Design, Music, Physical Education, Digital Literacy, Computing, Global Perspectives, Modern Foreign Languages, 

This flexibility allows schools like FIA to contextualise learning for Nashik families while maintaining a globally benchmarked education.

 

How Cambridge Builds the “Cambridge Learner”


Cambridge intentionally crafts learners to be:
• Confident: engaging with ideas, thinking independently
• Responsible: for themselves and respectful toward others
• Reflective: aware of how they learn
• Innovative: ready for new and future challenges
• Engaged: intellectually and socially active

These attributes are developed through an integrated curriculum, where subjects connect and reinforce one another ultimately shaping adaptable, thoughtful students.

 

Skill Development: Beyond Subject Knowledge


The curriculum isn’t just about facts it’s about how to learn, think, and act:
• Knowledge + Understanding + Skills are deliberately interwoven across subjects and year levels.
• Assessments like Progression Tests and Checkpoint exams support both learning and teaching by pinpointing strengths and growth areas.
• Subjects such as Global Perspectives encourage students to think globally, understand diverse worldviews, and develop empathy crucial in our interconnected world.

 

Why Cambridge Primary Matters for Future Readiness


According to the World Economic Forum, a massive 44% of workplace skill requirements are expected to change by 2027. Top in-demand skills include:
• Analytical thinking
• Creative thinking
• Resilience, flexibility, and agility
• Leadership, social influence, curiosity, and lifelong learning

Cambridge Primary cultivates many of these naturally:


  • Critical thinking through inquiry-based science and maths
    • Creative expression within Art, Music, and English
    • Adaptability and resilience via interdisciplinary projects and feedback cycles
    • Communication and collaboration through group work, presentations, and discussion across subjects
