While schools in Washington State can use the Cambridge curriculum alongside other competitor curriculum programs, Cambridge is increasingly chosen as the lead provider because of the program's advanced academics. The Cambridge Pathway brings together a globally recognized instructional approach that aligns curriculum, teaching, and learning with meaningful assessments that measure mastery. By employing a spiral approach to learning, grounded in years of academic research, Cambridge curriculum reinforces what students have learned while at the same time taking them forward.
