Hyderabad, 24th March, 2025: Responding to the growing demand for world-class education in Secunderabad, the International School of Secunderabad (ISS),Alwal, part of the Crimson Schools Network, is introducing the Cambridge Primary Curriculum for students in Grades 1 and 2 from June 2025. This globally recognized curriculum, implemented in over 160 countries, fosters analytical thinking, creativity, and subject mastery through an adaptable, structured approach and equips young learners with the skills needed for their holistic development.
The Cambridge Curriculum encourages exploration, discussion, and practical application. Students gain a deeper understanding in a wide range of subject disciplines while refining their ability to question, analyze, and draw connections between concepts.
Speaking on the development, Husien Dohadwalla, CEO Crimson Schools, said, “International education must go beyond academics to support a child’s overall development. The Cambridge Primary Curriculum ensures a smooth shift from early exploratory learning to progression-based academic engagement, allowing students to develop cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional skills alongside subject proficiency. It also aligns with NEP 2020’s emphasis on foundational literacy and numeracy, competency-based learning, and multilingual exposure in primary education. By combining play-based methodologies with assessments, this curriculum prepares learners for higher grades across boards while giving parents the assurance of a globally recognized foundational education system. The learning experience is further enriched with well-structured extracurricular programs, including STEM, performing arts, and specialized sports training through academy collaborations.”
The International School of Secunderabad (ISS), Alwal ensures that a strong academic environment, expert faculty, and well-rounded student development programs support its adoption of the Cambridge Primary Curriculum.
Outlining Crimson’s role in this progress, Jasmeet Singh Chhabra, Co-Founder Crimson, said, ‘We ensure that schools under our network have the right academic frameworks, faculty expertise, and learning environment to implement globally benchmarked curricula effectively. With Crimson’s guidance in faculty training, school operations, and infrastructure enhancements, ISS has enhanced its readiness to deliver the Cambridge Primary Curriculum successfully.”
A thoughtfully designed campus boosts the learning experience with technology-integrated classrooms and dedicated spaces for science, reading, and creative exploration. Delivering a global curriculum also requires educators to stay informed on proven teaching-learning methods so that students receive high-quality education. ISS regularly trains faculty, allowing teachers to implement Cambridge Primary’s evidence-based approaches. STEAM subjects, significant in inculcating 21st-century skills, prepare students for a world driven by technology, innovation, and collaboration through hands-on learning and real-world experiences.
Focusing on student well-being, ISS follows international safety protocols, which include CCTV surveillance, secure entry and exit points, child-safe infrastructure, and regular emergency drills to ensure preparedness. Age-appropriate facilities, ergonomically designed classrooms, and monitored play areas contribute to a setting where students feel safe.
Teachers nurture students’ mental and emotional well-being, equipping them with skills like conflict resolution, emotional regulation, leadership, and flexibility, helping them build resilience, agility, and social awareness to navigate challenges smoothly.
