About our academic approach

As a specialist Science and International Academy, we place a strong emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths), integrating these subjects with an international perspective to prepare students for a global future. We use traditional teaching methods and well-resourced facilities to make learning the focus of everything we do. We are constantly learning from the best educational research to ensure that our teachers are maximising lesson time and students are receiving the very best teaching.

Camborne Science and International Academy is a proud member of Athena Learning Trust. Athena's mission is to deliver world-class support that transforms lives, inspiring everyone to “Dream Big”, “Be Kind”, and “Take Responsibility”. This vision is fully embedded into our curriculum at CSIA and by investing in our teachers and leaders, we ensure a high-quality education for all students, fostering a lifelong love of learning and preparing them for extraordinary lives.


Subjects

Our curriculum for Years 7-11 is designed to be knowledge-rich, providing a solid foundation across a wide range of subjects. Students at CSIA are encouraged to explore their interests and develop their skills through our various subjects. We refer to this as a learning journey, where each subject builds on prior knowledge and skills, creating a clear pathway for academic progression.
