Curriculum

Enko Maputo is authorised by Cambridge to teach the Primary and Secondary curriculum and by the IB to teach the Diploma Programme designed by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). These complementary programmes cater for students from Grade 1 to Grade 11 and from Grade 12 to Grade 13 respectively.

We believe that by offering a wide range of academic programs, we can ensure that our students receive the best possible education, and are well-prepared for their future academic and professional endeavors.

At Enko Maputo, we are dedicated to nurturing young minds, providing a stimulating environment for your child and fostering a passion for learning. The renowned Cambridge Primary curriculum is an internationally recognised curriculum that provides a holistic education to students aged 5 to 11.

The curriculum focuses on critical thinking, problem-solving and core skill development across subjects like English, Mathematics, Sciences, Global Perspectives, Portuguese, Physical Education, ICT (Information and Communication Technology), Art and Music. We prioritise English language acquisition, while offering support in Portuguese when needed to support understanding.

Continuous assessment ensures effective progress monitoring, including mid-term and final exams, along with the Grade 6 Cambridge checkpoint examination.

Cambridge Primary sets a strong foundation for future academic success!

Students study English and Portuguese; plus (in English) Mathematics, Science and Global Perspectives. Mozambique Geography & History, Physical Education, Arts & Design, and a programme of PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health & Careers Education) are also taught.

There are three years of the Cambridge Lower Secondary course from Grade 7 to Grade 9. Students may join after completing Grade 7 or Grade 8 in other schools. For those who demonstrate exceptional academic performance, a quicker transition to the Cambridge Upper Secondary – IGCSE course is possible.

Students are assessed monthly, with Cambridge Checkpoint examinations also being taken.

In grades 10 and 11, Enko Maputo students engage in Cambridge Upper Secondary – IGCSE courses and prepare for 8 subject awards. This qualifies them for Cambridge’s International Certificate of Education. IGCSE subjects studied are:
