The curriculum pathways are more pronounced in the secondary phase than in the junior secondary phase. The Upper Secondary, also known as Secondary 2, is a three-year program for Grades Ten, Eleven, and Twelve and culminates in final year certificates for secondary education. Learners pursuing the national pathway are prepared for the Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) local examinations and attain competence equivalent to a TEVETA Level 2 Trade Certificate.

Learners pursuing the international pathway with Cambridge will receive instruction and preparation leading to the International General Certificate of Education (IGCSE). The IGCSE concludes in external examinations at the end of Grade 12 by Cambridge Assessment International Examinations (CAIE). Upper Secondary learners must take at least one Modern Foreign Language.
