Cambridge International Education, part of the University of Cambridge, UK, offers a globally benchmarked, flexible, and inclusive framework that supports learners from Early Years through Advanced Level qualification. With a strong emphasis on inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and real-world application, the Cambridge Pathway equips students with the skills needed in and out of the classroom as well as for success in both college and career.
This roundtable will explore how the Cambridge Pathway, now recognized under the Arkansas ACCESS Act, is transforming educational opportunities for students across the state. With the integration of Cambridge Advanced (International AS & A Levels) and the AICE Diploma into Arkansas’s accelerated learning framework, students can now access rigorous, globally respected coursework that aligns with their career interests and the opportunity to earn valuable college credit.
Participants will discuss how this innovative pathway supports personalized learning, fosters college and career readiness, and empowers students through unique, career-themed courses in fields such as global perspectives, digital media, travel & tourism, environmental management, and business. The session will also highlight how the ACCESS Act simplifies credit transfer, expands scholarship access, and strengthens alignment between K–12 education, postsecondary institutions, and workforce needs.
