Curriculum

At Emergence Schools, we have a robust academic program that takes into account the bilingual aspect of our Country (Cameroon). Emergence is one of the rare schools in Douala if not in Cameroon to offer a purely bilingual educational system. We offer: A Bilingual section (Nursery to Class 4), A French section (CM1 – CM2), and An Anglo-Saxon section (Class 5 – Class 6). Our curriculum integrates transdisciplinary programs, with 60% classroom work and 40% practical work, enabling pupils to become skillful inquirers, thinkers, communicators, open-minded and reflective personalities.

Guidance Counselor

The counselor provides:

  • Academic counseling and course selection guidance based on student evolution analysis
  • University application guidance: Where and when to apply, deadline monitoring

Emergence ensures that admission boards in universities selected by our graduating students receive all necessary details on subjects our students studied as well as the content of those subjects, thereby providing more clarity and ease in admissions for our students.
