Conducted by the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE), the Cambridge Checkpoint Exams are conducted at two levels; Cambridge Primary Checkpoint tests taken by learners at the end of Grade 6, and the Cambridge Secondary Checkpoint Exams to be taken during Grade 7/8. They test skills, knowledge and understanding of the curriculum for English, English as a Second Language, Mathematics, and Science. Special classes and training materials are provided for the students at New World to help them face these examinations with ease.
The tests are marked by Cambridge examiners in the UK and provide a benchmark of learner performance at an international level where the learners receive a statement of achievement and a diagnostic feedback report.
The Feedback reports show how a learner has performed in relation to the curriculum, their learning group, the whole school, and against all learners who have taken tests in that series around the world.
Cambridge Checkpoints help teachers to monitor group and individual performance, and manage future learning and provide the student with extra coaching and equip them with the confidence to face a public exam.

Cambridge Advanced is typically for learners aged 16 to 19 years who need advanced study to prepare for university and higher education. Cambridge Advanced builds on the foundations of Cambridge Upper Secondary, although learners do not need to complete that stage before this one. Cambridge International Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and Advanced (A) Levels are internationally benchmarked qualifications providing excellent preparation for university education. Cambridge International AS Levels have half the content of the corresponding Cambridge International A Level and may be completed in one year, usually in grade 11.
At NWIS, we offer subjects from both the Science and Commerce streams. The flexibility of subject combinations and its international relevance makes it popular amongst the learners. We offer programs that encourage high academic standards that prepare the students for these competitive examinations.
