Cambridge International School champions happiness over certification, student potential over prior achievement, global awareness over sovereign identity, possibility-thinking over limitations, and hope for the future over fear.
Ci6 is the brand new Sixth Form centre at Cambridge International School. Many schools today are preparing students perfectly for a job in 1970, despite the overwhelming evidence that a traditional education is no longer enough. You still need academic qualifications of course, but these become no more than the table stakes for entry into the market. You’ll need much more than a good degree to thrive over the duration of your career in an evolving world.
In order for you to become future-proof, you need to become entrepreneurial; a creative, big-picture thinker, a risk-taker and a fast learner. Humans will always be valuable when applying their creative genius to situations that are uncertain, indeterminate, or unpredictable. Mankind will continue to have the edge over robots in the creation of a new solution, the design of a new product, the implementation of a new approach: all of which are trademarks of the entrepreneur.
To get ahead young people will need to be entrepreneurial, but not necessarily an entrepreneur. You could still practise medicine, but be a doctor with an entrepreneurial mindset, always looking to do new things, to develop, to grow, to change, to improve. Whatever your path, in order to be successful you’ll need to have tremendous self-discipline, highly developed powers of discernment and the ability to effectively communicate. You’ll need to be a master of your thoughts, and captain of your actions. You’ll need to assimilate new information rapidly and connect the dots, see the bigger picture, and go beyond a specific specialism to ‘see how it all joins up.’ You'll have to become a comprehensivist.
Cambridge International School focuses tirelessly on teaching students how to learn, not what to learn, and it is confident that its world-leading approach to accelerated learning is an unparalleled educational proposition.
Come and see what it's all about at ithe school's Open Day this Saturday 15 October, 10-4pm at 61-63 Bateman Street.
