At Multinational School Dhahran, our Cambridge Lower Secondary programme offers students in Years 7 to 9 a broad and balanced curriculum across 13 subject areas, including English, Mathematics, and Science. It is designed to build on the foundations of Cambridge Primary while preparing learners for Cambridge Upper Secondary (IGCSE).
Our curriculum is grounded in five core principles: ensuring progression across year levels, maintaining academic balance, integrating research-informed teaching, nurturing global citizenship, and offering flexibility to meet local needs. These principles guide everything we do to support high-quality learning.
In addition to academic progress, we place strong emphasis on developing key learner attributes. Our students are encouraged to be confident, reflective, responsible, innovative, and engaged—skills essential for future success in school and beyond.
At MNS Dhahran, Cambridge Lower Secondary is more than just academics. It’s a transformative phase that supports personal growth, intellectual curiosity, and a deeper understanding of the world and one’s place in it.Cambridge Lower Secondary (Years 7–9).
Cambridge Lower Secondary is designed for students aged 11 to 14 years, typically covering Years 7 to 9 at our school. This stage builds on the foundations established in Cambridge Primary, although students who are new to the Cambridge system can still successfully transition into the programme.
