Physics
Cambridge International’s Lower School Physics offers a dynamic and engaging online platform for future physicists. Our Key Stage 3 physics curriculum is designed to spark curiosity and deepen students’ understanding of core physics principles.
Through our comprehensive online lessons, students build a solid foundation in physics, preparing them for advanced studies and a deeper appreciation of the subject.
Our online physics course features continuous, multi-faceted assessments that ensure a thorough understanding of the material. Teachers evaluate students during live-taught sessions, grade coursework and assignments, and administer tests.
This approach guarantees that students develop both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for mastering physics.
Weekly homework assignments are an integral part of our physics curriculum. These tasks are designed to reinforce learning by focusing on key concepts, quizzes for review, and engaging activities that complement the coursework.
Homework helps solidify understanding and keeps students engaged throughout the week.
Parents can easily monitor their child’s progress through our 24/7 online portal, which provides access to grades, coursework, and teacher feedback. This transparency ensures parents stay informed and can support their child’s academic journey. For more personalized insights, parents can schedule consultations with teachers at their convenience.
By enrolling in Cambridge International’s Lower School Physics, students embark on a high-quality online education journey, fostering a deep passion for physics and paving the way for academic excellence.

Physics explores the fundamental principles of the physical world, examining how it looks and operates. Our Lower School Physics course follows the English National Curriculum Key Stage 3 Programme of Study, ensuring students gain the essential knowledge, skills, and understanding needed to seamlessly progress to Upper School in any English school.
