Cambridge International Education
Cambridge Showcase School
Fieldstone is proud to announce its designation as a Cambridge Showcase School, recognising its sustained commitment to educational excellence and continuous improvement through the implementation of the Cambridge programme. We are especially honoured to share that Fieldstone is one of only two Cambridge Showcase Schools in North America. This prestigious distinction reflects our dedication to fostering a dynamic learning environment that prepares students for future success.
A Cambridge school since 2010, Fieldstone is distinguished by its innovative teaching practices, including Cambridge’s skills based approach to learning, which develops a broad range of competencies alongside strong academic foundations.
Cambridge International Education, part of the University of Cambridge, provides schools with a globally trusted and flexible framework for learners aged 3 to 19, known as the Cambridge Pathway. This framework is informed by research, experience and ongoing consultation with educators. The Cambridge curriculum is intentionally flexible, enabling schools to adapt it to their local context while maintaining rigorous international standards.
To qualify for this designation, Cambridge Showcase Schools and Districts undergo a comprehensive review process conducted by Cambridge. Schools must demonstrate consistent implementation of the Cambridge Pathway at the highest level and exemplify best practice in teaching and learning.
Fieldstone remains dedicated to equipping students with the knowledge, skills and character required to thrive in a rapidly changing world. As a Showcase School, we are committed to advancing our journey of educational excellence, strengthening collaboration with fellow Cambridge schools across the United States and Canada, contributing professional insight to inform educational development, and engaging actively within a global community of leading Cambridge institutions.
We are deeply honoured by this recognition and remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering the quality of education our families associate with Fieldstone. We look forward to continued growth and closer engagement with the worldwide Cambridge community, empowering our learners to become confident and capable global citizens.
The Cambridge Advantage at Fieldstone
The origins of Cambridge International Examinations date back more than 150 years, rooted in the goal of raising educational standards beyond the University of Cambridge. Today, Cambridge qualifications are recognised worldwide as a benchmark for academic excellence and are accepted by leading institutions around the globe.
Fieldstone is proud to be the first and only JK to 12 Cambridge School in Canada, offering students a continuous and fully aligned Cambridge pathway from early years through graduation. We are also honoured to be named a Cambridge Showcase School for the 2024-2027 cohort—one of only two schools in North America to receive this distinction.
A Cambridge education prepares students to be confident, responsible, reflective, innovative, and engaged learners. The curriculum provides a rigorous yet flexible framework that challenges students to master content through a variety of assessment formats, including:
- expository writing
- practical and oral examinations
- case studies
- written tests
- coursework
Assessment plays a central role in monitoring student progress. From Grades 2 to 8, students complete the Cambridge Progression Tests each year, allowing families and teachers to track growth against international standards. In Grades 5 and 8, students sit both the Progression Tests and the formal Cambridge Checkpoint examinations.
Checkpoint is a particularly valuable measure because the exams are mailed directly to us from Cambridge, and once written, they are returned to Cambridge for external marking. This ensures complete integrity and provides parents with an accurate understanding of where their child stands compared to students worldwide.
Cambridge assessments ensure that results are both earned and meaningful. Universities, parents, and students can trust the validity and global recognition of Cambridge qualifications.
Students graduating from Fieldstone can be confident that they have met an internationally recognised standard of academic achievement. Whether they are preparing for university admission, entering a professional programme, or moving to the next stage of secondary education, they are equipped with the knowledge, adaptability, and self-belief needed to excel.
We prepare school students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning.
Our Cambridge Pathway gives students a clear path for educational success from age 5 to 19.
Schools can shape the curriculum around how they want students to learn – with a wide range of subjects and flexible ways to offer them.
We help students discover new abilities and a wider world, and the skills they need for life, so they can achieve at school, university and work.
Each stage builds on the learners’ development from the previous one or from other educational systems.
We offer an unrivalled choice of subjects: over 70 at IGCSE and over 50 at A Level. Schools can let students choose subjects in any combination.
Our qualifications are widely recognised by the world’s best universities and employers.
98% of Admissions Officers surveyed said Cambridge programmes give students excellent preparation for university.
We provide first-class support for teachers through publications, online resources, training and professional development.
Every year, nearly a million Cambridge learners from 10 000 schools in over 160 countries prepare for their future with an international education from Cambridge.
We have a 150-year history of providing international exams. We are a not-for-profit organisation and the only exam board wholly owned by a world-leading university.
