Our Education Programme and Philosophy


At UFS lnternational, we proudly follow the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) programme in the Primary and High School, and the Early Years Foundation Stage in our Pre-Primary.

The holistic education offering is complemented by extensive cultural, sporting, service learning and leadership development programmes, and is underpinned by a strong emphasis on pastoral care. Opportunities for immersion in the local context are provided through subject choice.

Our comprehensive curriculum encourages our students to become self-aware, locally aware, globally aware, and to maximise their potential for success in a rapidly changing world.
