At Greenfield International School, Limbe, our Mathematics program is designed to provide students with a strong analytical foundation, blending the Cambridge International Curriculum with the Cameroon GCE syllabus. This integrated approach ensures that learners gain both global competency in mathematical thinking and local relevance aligned with national academic expectations.
Cambridge Mathematics: Developing Global Problem Solvers
The Cambridge Mathematics curriculum offers a progressive, concept-based structure that encourages learners to develop:
- Logical reasoning and problem-solving skills
- A deep understanding of mathematical principles
- Confidence in applying mathematics in real-life situations
Starting from Cambridge Primary through Lower Secondary and up to IGCSE, students are introduced to core areas such as:
- Number and operations
- Algebra and geometry
- Data handling and statistics
- Measurement and problem solving
The curriculum emphasizes inquiry-based learning, allowing students to explore mathematical concepts through practical activities and applications that reflect real-world contexts. It prepares students for international qualifications that are recognized by universities and employers worldwide.
Cameroon GCE Mathematics: Academic Rigor with National Alignment
Our Mathematics program also incorporates the Cameroon GCE curriculum, which remains a cornerstone of the national education system. Through O-Level and A-Level preparation, students develop:
- Mastery of fundamental mathematical skills
- Proficiency in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry
- Advanced abilities in calculus, statistics, and applied mathematics at the A-Level
This curriculum is particularly strong in reinforcing structured problem-solving, preparing students to perform well in national exams and pursue higher education in mathematics, engineering, sciences, and related fields within Cameroon and the wider African region.
Why Our Blended Approach Matters
By offering a blended Cambridge–GCE Mathematics program, we empower our learners to:
- Compete and collaborate on an international stage
- Excel in national examinations
- Build critical thinking, accuracy, and innovation in solving mathematical problems
- Transition smoothly into various educational pathways—whether local or international
Our Mathematics teachers use differentiated instruction, regular assessments, and technology-enhanced learning tools to ensure that every learner is supported according to their individual pace and potential.
Global Perspectives
At Greenfield International School, Limbe, our Global Perspectives program is designed to prepare students for the complex, interconnected world they are growing into. Rooted in the Cambridge International Curriculum, this subject equips learners with the skills to critically examine global issues, understand diverse viewpoints, and communicate ideas confidently and respectfully across cultures.
What Is Global Perspectives?
Cambridge Global Perspectives is a unique, skills-based program that encourages learners to explore topics of global significance such as:
- Climate change

- Collaboration
- Research and analysis
- Ethical reasoning
- Communication and presentation skills
It challenges students to think independently, question assumptions, and evaluate information from multiple sources—a foundation essential for academic success and responsible global citizenship.
Why It Matters at GFIS
In today’s world, academic excellence alone is not enough. Our Global Perspectives program:
- Encourages open-mindedness and empathy
- Builds independent, reflective thinkers
- Prepares students for higher education and international careers
- Helps them become socially responsible leaders in their communities and beyond
This aligns with our school’s mission to educate the whole child, fostering not just intellectual growth but also emotional intelligence and social awareness.
Integration with National and International Goals
While Global Perspectives is a Cambridge program, it complements the Cameroon GCE curriculum by reinforcing cross-curricular links with subjects like Civics, History, Geography, and Literature. It broadens students’ understanding of local and global contexts, helping them connect classroom learning with real-world issues.
At Greenfield International School, Global Perspectives is more than just a subject—it is a framework for thinking, living, and leading in the 21st century.
