DPS International: Where Cambridge Meets Success-!

Cambridge IGCSE (Upper Secondary)

“Strong foundations, wide choices – the starting point of international excellence.”

The Cambridge IGCSE, offered at the Upper Secondary level (Grades IX and X), provides a strong foundational programme that prepares students for the academic rigour of Advanced Levels. At DPS International, New Delhi, we have been offering the IGCSE curriculum for over 22 years, enabling students to build core skills in critical thinking, analysis, and application. With 20+ subjects on offer, students typically choose 7–9 subjects at this stage, giving them both breadth and flexibility across disciplines. These choices are later narrowed down to 3–4 specialised subjects in Advanced Levels, ensuring a smooth progression from a broad foundation to focused academic study.

What sets DPSI apart is its highly qualified faculty. Every teacher is Cambridge-trained, with many serving as Cambridge examiners and trainers. This ensures that students not only receive world-class instruction but also gain valuable insights into the expectations of international examinations. Through innovative pedagogy, close mentoring, and a strong emphasis on critical thinking, DPSI prepares students to thrive in a rapidly changing global landscape.
