Cambridge ICE
Cambridge ICE is a group award for Cambridge IGCSE, and is very popular in the USA and South America.
It allows schools to offer a broad and balanced curriculum by recognising the achievements of learners who pass examinations in at least seven Cambridge IGCSE subjects from five different subject groups, including two different languages.
Cambridge ICE curriculum
The Cambridge IGCSE subjects are grouped into five curriculum areas:
- Group I: Languages
- Group II: Humanities and Social Sciences
- Group III: Sciences
- Group IV: Mathematics
- Group V: Professional and Creative
Learners must take two different languages from Group I, and one subject from each of Groups II, III, IV and V. The seventh subject can be taken from any of the five subject groups.
The subjects available are listed below. Please note that not all subjects are available in both the June and November series.
Environmental Management (0680) can count as either a Group II or a Group III subject, and Co-ordinated Sciences (Double Award) (0654) counts as two subjects. Global Perspectives (0457) can be taken as a qualifying subject in either Group II or Group V. The subject cannot be used to satisfy the criteria for both subject groups.
