CJD International School

British

IGCSE and A-Levels

At CJD, students can complete both Portuguese national assessments and Cambridge international assessments. For Portuguese students, they will take the national exams required by the Portuguese Ministry of Education in the relevant subjects at the end of 9th grade and at the secondary education (11th and 12th grade). For international students, they will take the Cambridge exams, which are internationally recognized qualifications in subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities. These exams are usually taken at the end of each academic year and are a valuable preparation for higher education and future employment opportunities. We believe that providing students with a variety of assessments helps them to develop a diverse range of skills and prepares them for success in a variety of contexts.

Schools typically report on their student results in annual reports or other publications, like the public rankings. It's also important to keep in mind that exam results are not the only measure of a school's success, as student achievement is influenced by many factors beyond test scores. A well-rounded education also includes developing social and emotional skills, critical thinking abilities and creativity, among other competencies.
