Based on the “Cambridge Primary Science” learner’s books, we have developed the 6-stage Cambridge Primary Science online courses which are delivered by UK teachers online. Students can complete all CPS courses in 2 years. On completion of the courses, not only would the students’ scientific knowledge and skills have attained to KS2 level, but also their English level will improve to CEFR B2.
Students who carry on taking CPS courses will:
- Enjoy live and interesting online lessons delivered by UK teachers;
- Acquire scientific knowledge and skills;
- Develop a habit of scientific thinking;
- Master basic scientific English terms, definitions, and inquiry skills;
- Consolidate the foundation which helps them to succeed in science courses in junior high school or GCSE.
Learner’s books
The learner’s books and matched activity books for these 6-stage CPS courses are written by Jon Board and Alan Cross, published by Cambridge University Press and endorsed by Cambridge International Examination. The courses are suitable for Y1-Y8 students.
- Y1-Y4 students with CEFR A1 in English may take CPS1 or CPS2.
- Y2-Y6 students with CEFR A2 in English may take CPS3 or CPS4.
- Y3-Y8 students with CEFR B1 in English may take CPS5 or CPS6.
Students who are going to take the 6-stage CPS courese will attend 191 live online lessons, learn hundreds of scientific knowledge, master 591 scientific English terms, and take part in over 200 science activities in classes.

Study Plan
Students are expected to complete the 6-stage CPS courses. On completion of the whole series of the courses, students’ level of English should improve greatly and at the same time they will attain scientific knowledge and skills which help them transition smoothly to study Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography in junior high school.

Performance Assessment
- A grade is formulated in line with the student’s in-class performance and homework performance.
- Translate the UK 9-point score system into Grades.
- 8-9 points = A *; 7 points = A; 6 points = B; 5 points =C.
Teaching & Learning Platform
- Live online lessons are delivered on the Classin Platform.
- CPS digital classroom resources are available.
- Students have unlimited access to the replay of the lesson recordings.
- Learner’s books and activity books can be bought in their home countries.
