Local Empowerment and Collaboration:
Recognising the importance of local communities, Cambridge actively supports schools in establishing their own local communities. These communities, run by schools, serve as hubs for knowledge-sharing, best practices, and support. Whether it’s school leadership, curriculum planning, professional development, or teaching methodologies, these local communities become catalysts for positive change within their regions.
Cambridge Curriculum Schools also leverage social media to create a broader community where teachers, exam officers, students, and parents can connect, share insights, and engage in meaningful discussions.

Cambridge understands universities play a pivotal role in society. Engaging with the community is not just a responsibility but a commitment to contributing meaningfully to the broader societal landscape. Cambridge’s public and community engagement initiatives include educational projects, professional development opportunities for educators, musical performances, fundraising, and contributions to community organisations.

Cambridge Curriculum Schools actively work with local non-governmental organisations to engage with parents and communities, ensuring that education services align with the needs and desires of the local population. Recognising the challenges in diverse communities, Cambridge Education collaborates with local NGO partners to overcome barriers and reach underprivileged populations. The focus is not only on delivering education but also on capacity development for civil society organisations, ensuring they can operate effectively and act as advocates for positive change within their communities.
