Cambridge curriculum
Colégio Angolano de Talatona is a registered Cambridge International school, offering the Cambridge curriculum from Early Years (Age 5) to Advanced Level. We recognise the increasing importance of internationalism, and, through the Cambridge curriculum, we can be part of a global benchmarking system. Our goal is to equip our students with the necessary knowledge and skills to become global citizens in an ever-changing society.
The Cambridge Pathway
To achieve our goal, we instil in our students the five attributes of a Cambridge learner:
Confidence
Have confidence to work with new ideas, information, and take calculated risks.
Responsibility
Be responsible for themselves and respectful of others.
Reflection
Be reflective to develop their ability to learn and be lifelong learners.
Innovation
Be innovative and equipped to face new challenges.
Engagement
Stay intellectually and socially engaged to make a difference.

At Upper Secondary and Advanced Level, students sit the IGCSE and A Level exams at the end of each 2-year programme.
