Secondary 1 Curriculum
The Pembroke Pines Charter Cambridge Curriculum is the latest expansion of the high-performing, "A" rated, Pembroke Pines Charter School System. Our middle school students, grades 6-8, will engage in the Cambridge Advanced Program. After successful completion of 8th grade, PPCMS students will automatically matriculate into Pembroke Pines Charter High School in the AICE Diploma track the following school year.
Cambridge Advanced Program
The Cambridge Advanced Program (PDF) is an internationally-renown program that emphasizes students to think critically, evaluate arguments, communicate clear and well-reasoned arguments, and understand global issues with multiple perspectives. Cambridge is the largest provider of international education programs and qualifications for 5 to 19 years old. The Cambridge Curriculum is modeled in over 9000 schools in more than 160 countries. The program is part of the University of Cambridge, one of the world’s top universities and trusted for excellence in education.
The Cambridge Advanced Curriculum, modeled after Cambridge’s Secondary 1 standards, is a progressive curriculum to prepare students to enter the upper-level Cambridge courses, including the high school distinction of the AICE Diploma. The AICE Diploma will give students a competitive edge into their university of choice. Students who attend the three middle school campuses will automatically be enrolled in the upper-level Cambridge courses in the high school.
The Cambridge Secondary I program is aligned to Florida’s academic standards.
