Legae English Medium School had previously been registered as a Primary School Leaving Examination Centre. In 2012 the decision was taken to provide a globally recognised curriculum to better prepare our \u2018young birds\u2019 for future flight. In 2014 we became a registered Cambridge International Examination Centre and follow the Cambridge International Curriculum. The Cambridge International Curriculum Framework is a six-year course and the external checkpoint examination at Legae is written following the completion of the 6-year curriculum, in April \/ October of the next year (Standard Seven). There are external assessments done after the completion of Standards Three, Four, and Five. This is done to better prepare students for the internationally graded examinations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
