📚 Welcome to Cambridge International | 欢迎加入剑桥国际
Cambridge International is the part of the University of Cambridge that designs international education programmes and qualifications for students aged 5 to 19. This article explains how the Cambridge Pathway is structured, what the five elements of a Cambridge education are, how assessment works, and why Cambridge qualifications are recognised by universities and employers around the world.
剑桥国际是剑桥大学旗下负责为5至19岁学生设计国际教育课程与资格证书的机构。本文将说明剑桥国际课程的整体结构、剑桥教育的五大要素、考评的运作方式，以及剑桥资格证书为何能够受到全球大学与用人单位的广泛认可。
1. What Cambridge International Is | 剑桥国际是什么
Cambridge International is an international education organisation that provides programmes and qualifications to schools worldwide. It offers a clear educational pathway for students aged 5 to 19, and schools can design their own curriculum around it according to their own teaching aims.
剑桥国际是一家为全球学校提供课程与资格证书的国际教育机构。它为5至19岁的学生铺设了一条清晰的教育成长路径，学校可以根据自身的教学目标，围绕这套课程灵活设计自己的课程体系。
Because the framework is flexible, schools can offer a rich choice of subjects and a variety of teaching approaches. The purpose is straightforward: to help students discover their potential, broaden their horizons and develop skills that will benefit them for life, laying a solid foundation for future study and careers.
由于这一框架具有灵活性，学校可以提供丰富的科目选择和多样的授课方式。其目的十分明确：帮助学生挖掘潜力、开阔视野，掌握受益终身的技能，为未来的学习和职业生涯奠定坚实基础。
2. Curiosity, Challenge and Lifelong Learning | 好奇心、挑战与终身学习
Cambridge International is committed to inspiring students' curiosity and their enthusiasm for lifelong learning, so that they can face life's challenges with confidence. As an institution within the University of Cambridge, it carries forward the academic tradition and mission of the university.
剑桥大学国际考评部致力于激发学生的好奇心与终身学习的热情，帮助他们从容应对人生挑战。作为剑桥大学旗下的机构，我们秉承大学的学术传统与使命。
This mission shapes everything from syllabus design to question writing. Students are not simply asked to memorise content; they are encouraged to question, investigate and connect ideas across subjects, which is exactly the mindset that university study and professional life demand.
这一使命贯穿于从课程大纲设计到试题编写的每一个环节。学生不只是被要求记忆内容，更被鼓励去质疑、探究，并在不同学科之间建立联系——这正是大学学习与职业生涯所需要的心态。
3. The Four Stages of the Cambridge Pathway | 剑桥国际课程的四个阶段
The Cambridge Pathway contains four stages, running seamlessly from primary and secondary education through to pre-university study. Each stage builds on the learning of the previous one, while allowing flexibility for students who transfer in from other curriculum systems. Schools may adopt one or several of these stages.
剑桥国际课程包含四个阶段，从小学、中学到大学预科无缝衔接。每个阶段都在前一阶段的学习基础上进一步深化，同时充分考虑学生从其他课程体系转入的灵活性。学校可以选择采用其中某一个或几个阶段。
| Stage / 阶段 | Typical age / 典型年龄 | Focus / 重点 |
| Cambridge Primary / 剑桥小学 | 5-11 | Foundation skills in English, mathematics and science / 英语、数学与科学的基础能力 |
| Cambridge Lower Secondary / 剑桥初中 | 11-14 | Wider subject range and conceptual understanding / 更广的科目范围与概念性理解 |
| Cambridge Upper Secondary / 剑桥高中（IGCSE 阶段） | 14-16 | Subject depth and international qualifications / 学科深度与国际资格证书 |
| Cambridge Advanced / 剑桥大学预科（AS & A Level 阶段） | 16-19 | Specialisation and university preparation / 专业化学习与大学升学准备 |
The stages are designed to connect, so a student who moves between countries or between systems can usually continue at the level that matches their ability rather than restarting from the beginning. Schools, meanwhile, keep control over timetabling, subject combinations and the way teaching is delivered.
这些阶段在设计上相互衔接，因此学生在国家之间或课程体系之间转学时，通常可以按照与自身能力相匹配的阶段继续学习，而不必从头开始。与此同时，学校仍然掌握课时安排、科目组合与授课方式的自主权。
4. The Five Elements of a Cambridge Education | 剑桥教育的五大要素
The core of a Cambridge education is made up of five elements: the international curriculum, teaching and learning, assessment, international recognition, and the global community.
剑桥教育的核心由五大要素构成：国际课程、教与学、考评、国际认可和全球社区。
International curriculum / 国际课程 - a framework that schools can adapt to their own context, culture and students' needs.
国际课程 —— 一个可供学校根据自身背景、文化与需求进行调整的框架。
Teaching and learning / 教与学 - active, reflective approaches supported by professional development for teachers.
教与学 —— 在教师专业发展支持下的主动、反思型教学方法。
Assessment / 考评 - fair, valid, reliable and manageable, and designed to promote learning.

5. Curriculum: Knowledge, Concepts and Higher-Order Thinking | 国际课程：知识、概念与高阶思维
Choosing Cambridge International means working in partnership with an internationally recognised leader in education. Cambridge supports schools in developing a curriculum that best fits their own context, culture and ethos, and that meets the needs of their students.
选择剑桥国际，意味着您与一家享誉国际的教育领军机构建立了合作关系。我们支持学校开发最适合自身背景、文化和理念，并能满足学生需求的课程。
The programmes stretch, challenge and inspire students of all abilities. Through professional international research and consultation with schools and other partners, the curriculum is kept up to date and always reflects the latest thinking in each subject discipline.
我们的课程能够拓展、挑战并激发各种能力的学生。通过与学校及其他合作伙伴开展的专业国际研究和咨询，我们的课程始终反映各学科领域的最新思考成果。
We believe education works best when curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment are tightly integrated. Our curriculum emphasises a solid foundation of knowledge, conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking skills, preparing students for the future. We encourage teaching that actively engages students, and we support the curriculum with high-quality resources.
我们坚信，当课程、教学、学习与考评紧密融合时，教育才能发挥最大效能。我们的课程注重扎实的知识基础、概念性理解以及高阶思维技能的培养，帮助学生为未来做好准备。我们鼓励在教学实践中充分调动学生的主动性，并通过优质资源为课程提供支撑。
6. Teaching and Learning: Confident, Responsible, Reflective | 教与学：自信、负责、善于反思
Cambridge aims to develop Cambridge students and teachers who are confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged. These qualities are the hallmarks of the Cambridge community.
我们致力于培养乐观自信、认真负责、勤学善问、勇于创新且积极主动的剑桥学生与教师，这些特质正是剑桥社群的核心标志。
Teachers are encouraged to promote active learning in the classroom. This approach develops students' ability to reflect on their own learning, so that they can plan, monitor and adjust their learning strategies. Professional development programmes for teachers help to improve their classroom performance and practice, and this positive impact lasts throughout a teacher's career.
我们鼓励在教学实践中积极调动学生主动学习。这种教学方法能培养学生反思自身学习的能力，使其能够规划、监控并调整自己的学习策略。面向教师的职业发展项目有助于提升其教学表现与实践能力，这种积极影响将贯穿教师的整个职业生涯。
We recognise that effective teaching and learning can take many different forms. Every syllabus and qualification is supported by appropriate teaching and learning resources, so that schools are not left to work things out alone.
我们深知，有效的教与学可以包含多种多样的方法。所有课程和资格证书都配有相应的教学和学习资源，学校不必独自摸索。
7. Assessment: Fair, Valid, Reliable and Manageable | 考评：公平、有效、可靠与可行
Our assessments are designed to be fair, valid, reliable and manageable. At the same time, we recognise that assessment should promote students' learning, helping them to find focus, pace and challenge. What we assess is what we believe genuinely matters: solid subject knowledge, conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking skills. A flexible assessment framework helps students to master each subject fully and deeply.
我们的考评设计确保公平、有效、可靠且可行。同时，我们认识到考评应促进学生学习，帮助学生找到重点、节奏和挑战。我们考评的内容都是我们认为真正有价值的部分：扎实的学科知识、概念性理解以及高阶思维技能。灵活的考评框架有助于学生全面深入地掌握各学科知识。
Our assessments are conducted in English and are equally suitable for learners who use English as a second language or as a foreign language. In organising assessment, we always try to leave ample time for teaching and learning.
我们的考评以英语为媒介，同样适用于将英语作为第二语言或外语的学习者。在组织考评时，我们始终力求为教学和学习留出充裕的时间。

剑桥学生可以确信，无论在本国还是海外，他们的资格证书在整个求学及职业生涯中都会得到理解和珍视。
9. A Global Community of Schools | 全球学校社区
Our global community brings together thousands of Cambridge schools in 160 countries. Nearly one million students benefit from the qualifications these schools award, and those qualifications are widely recognised by employers and universities worldwide, including more than 500 universities in the United States (among them the Ivy League) and all higher education institutions in the United Kingdom.
我们的全球社区汇聚了来自160个国家的上万所剑桥学校，近百万名学生受益于这些学校所颁发的资格证书——这些证书受到世界各地用人单位和大学院校的广泛认可，包括美国的500多所大学（含常春藤盟校）以及英国的所有高等学府。

10. More Than 150 Years of International Examinations | 超过150年的国际考试历史
We have been providing international examinations for more than 150 years. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are the only examination board wholly owned by a world-leading university.
我们提供国际考试已有超过150年的历史。作为一家非营利机构，我们是唯一由世界顶尖大学全资拥有的考试委员会。
That long history matters for students. It means syllabus content, question design and marking standards have been tested, reviewed and refined across generations of learners, and it means schools can rely on procedures that have proved stable over time.
这段悠久的历史对学生而言意义重大。它意味着课程内容、试题设计与评分标准已经过一代代学习者的检验、审视与打磨，也意味着学校可以信赖那些经过时间验证、长期稳定的流程。
11. Cambridge Assessment and the University of Cambridge | 剑桥大学考评院与剑桥大学
Our parent organisation, Cambridge Assessment, has deep experience and expertise in English language learning, the development of national education projects and the growth of international education. It conducts cutting-edge academic and assessment research and is home to the largest assessment research team in Europe.
作为我们的上级机构，剑桥大学考评院在英语学习、国家教育项目开发以及国际教育发展方面拥有丰富的经验和专长。该机构开展前沿的学术与考评研究，并拥有欧洲规模最大的考评研究团队。
This research base is not an abstract benefit. Findings from assessment research feed directly into how syllabuses are written, how questions are trialled, and how grades are awarded, which is why Cambridge qualifications can be trusted by universities making admissions decisions and by employers evaluating applicants.
这一研究基础并非抽象的优势。考评研究的成果会直接影响课程大纲的编写方式、试题的试用流程以及成绩的评定方式，因此剑桥资格证书能够获得做出录取决定的大学和评估求职者的用人单位的信任。
