How to Find a Cambridge School or Join the Cambridge Network

To find a Cambridge school, use the Find a Cambridge School tool on cambridgeinternational.org. To join the network, use Join Cambridge — this route is for institutions that want to become Cambridge schools, not for individual students or parents. Once registered, schools get access to the School Support Hub, a secure site with over 40,000 teaching and learning support materials across the Cambridge Pathway.

Finding a Cambridge school near you

The homepage lists Find a Cambridge School under the "What do you need to do today?" section. Use it when you are a parent, student or adviser checking whether a local school offers Cambridge programmes.

What to expect:

• Input: a location or school name.
• Action: the tool searches the register of Cambridge schools.
• Result: schools that can confirm which Cambridge stages and subjects they offer.

Before you rely on a result, confirm directly with the school which stages it runs — Early Years (age 3+), Primary (5+), Lower Secondary (11+), Upper Secondary/Pre-Advanced (14+) or Advanced (16+) — since the pathway spans ages 3 to 19 and not every school covers every stage.

Joining Cambridge as a school

Join Cambridge is the entry point for institutions that want to become Cambridge schools. It sits alongside Find a Cambridge School in the same "What do you need to do today?" list, which makes the distinction clear: one is for finding a school, the other is for a school applying to join.

If you are exploring this route, the site also points to related support:

• Professional development courses — bookable online training for teachers and school leaders.
• Resources for schools — purchasing teaching and learning materials.
• Exam administration key dates and timetables — relevant once your school is running Cambridge exams.

The School Support Hub is described as a secure site for registered Cambridge schools, so access follows registration rather than preceding it. The site does not publish pricing or access terms for joining, so treat cost and eligibility as questions to raise through the Join Cambridge process rather than assumptions.

What the Cambridge Pathway covers

Knowing the stages helps you ask the right questions, whether you are choosing a school or planning to offer the programme.

Early Years is described as a play-based programme with a holistic curriculum, engaging resources and support to measure progress. Later stages emphasise adaptable curricula, flexible assessment options and insight to predict or optimise performance.

Practical checks before you decide

• For families: use Find a Cambridge School, then verify the specific stage and subjects with the school — the pathway is broad, and offerings vary by institution.
• For schools considering joining: start with Join Cambridge, then review the professional development and exam administration pages to understand the operational commitments around training and timetabled exams.
• For exam planning: the site notes that for timetabled exams, all candidates must be under Full Centre Supervision or in the exam at the Key Time — check your Key Times if you are administering exams.
• For registered schools: the School Support Hub is the place for teaching and learning materials; access is tied to registration.

The site also flags current items worth checking, such as syllabus updates and the November 2026 exam series, which matter if you are timing a decision around a specific exam cycle.
