Taking Learning to the Next Level
Pearson Edexcel iLowerSecondary is an international teaching and learning programme designed for students aged 11–14 and corresponding to Years 7–9. It supports learners as they move beyond foundational concepts and develop deeper understanding across key subject areas.
At this stage, students are encouraged to analyse information, investigate questions, solve problems and communicate their ideas with greater confidence. Learning increasingly supports independent study, critical evaluation and the application of knowledge to different situations.
Amore Learning School is developing its online academic pathway with reference to Pearson’s iProgress framework. The current intended Lower Secondary offering covers relevant years up to Grade 8, subject to age and year-level placement.
