Introduction
Ambleside Stawi International School serves students aged 3 to 18 with a Bespoke Curriculum supported by Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge A Levels. The Kindergarten (ages 3–6) uses Froebel-inspired play-based discovery while laying a rigorous academic pathway for later years. Primary Years (Year 1–8) follow a Cambridge transition with a Charlotte Mason-inspired approach, with an IGCSE pathway fully established by Year 9 and a strong preparation for IGCSE exams in Year 11 and A-Levels in Years 12–13. Core subjects—math, literacy, science, history, geography—are taught alongside arts, music, and nature studies, with learning anchored in living books, discussion, and real-world applications. The program emphasizes small classes, character development, and faith within a literature-rich curriculum. Regular time outdoors and hands-on learning, nature study, and integrated arts support practical understanding. The school also fosters community through activities such as a Bible Club and family-focused events, enriching partnerships with parents and the wider community. This combination prepares students for educational opportunities and engagement in international contexts.
