Do international schools teach international courses? What courses are there?
The most common international school curriculum systems in China are A-Level, IB and AP.

0 1, A-level curriculum system

A

The recognition of level courses is actually very high. Basically, all Commonwealth countries, including top universities in the world such as Britain and the United States, as well as Canadian universities, Australian universities and universities in all English-speaking countries will accept A.

Grade examination results. Even some non-Commonwealth countries, such as the National University of Singapore, are English schools and will accept A-level grades. So a

The level score is equivalent to IB course in application.

Let's talk about the three mainstream examination bureaus: Edith, CIE and AQA. Generally speaking, the examination questions of AQA and assistants are relatively easy, and CIE is the most difficult. Because it is aimed at candidates outside the UK, domestic and international schools often use CIE examination papers. There are other smaller examination bureaus, such as Welsh Examination Bureau, Scottish Examination Bureau, Northern Ireland Examination Bureau and so on, which are not mainstream examination bureaus.

In fact, no matter what kind of examination bureau you attend, your final score is always recognized by all Commonwealth countries, so you don't have to worry about it. So from the perspective of university application, IB course and A.

The acceptance of level courses is basically the same.

Of course, universities have lower requirements for A-level. Because generally speaking, if you apply for universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and G5, and those famous Ivy League schools in the United States, you only need to provide three A's.

Grade test results, IB has to take six exams. You think, in the same two years, one is to study three courses, which is more focused, and the other is to study six courses, which will take longer on average. So a

It is more likely to get high marks in the proficiency test.

02, IB curriculum system

This course is offered by UNESCO at 1963. At that time, the original intention was to let the children of ambassadors from all countries participate in this course. Because it is found that these ambassadors will stay in different countries for three years, their children's learning system will be chaotic, so there is a unified system like IB. So as long as you learn this system, you will learn a complete curriculum system. No matter whether you go to the United States, Britain or other countries, you can take the IB course. Now IB course is also the most popular among all universities in the world. With your IB score, you can apply to any university in the world, of course, its requirements will be higher.

In fact, IB course has a higher level of understanding and subject depth than other courses. For example, one

As long as your final result is correct, you can basically get full marks in the level chemistry exam, while IB chemistry course needs you to talk more about the calculation process and the chemical principles used, and you need a lot of discussion and argumentation, not just that the results are correct. Therefore, IB course is also considered to be the most accredited course. Those who study IB are better than those who study A.

Students in level courses have better writing ability, so you must write your ideas very clearly. If your child attends a public primary school in China and has not been exposed to international schools, including the lack of writing skills, I do not recommend that your child switch to IB curriculum system in the final high school stage. This requires very high writing ability for children, and there are many subjects in IB course, so we should choose six subjects.

03, AP curriculum system

This course mainly covers the United States and some parts of Canada, so it has some limitations. But it is not a system that every high school student must take, and even American high school students are not a course that everyone will take.

AP course is actually a pre-university course. Of course, after you finish the AP course, you prove that you are very capable. You have studied college courses in advance. If you use AP scores to prove that you are capable of studying this major in a university, you are likely to be admitted to the university first. After entering the university, you can offset some credits and learn two less subjects. Of course, in the past few years, I have helped some students take AP courses in China. I submitted AP scores to British universities and finally got an interview offer, so I can actually get extra points, but it is not common.

Summarize the choice of these three curriculum systems:

The first IB course is undoubtedly the most common and difficult course system recognized by all universities in the world, but its disadvantage is that there are many subjects, six courses to learn, and it requires a lot of your basic writing ability, and many of them have to be written and proved by yourself. Even if it is a science topic, he not only asks you to get the correct result, but also asks you to demonstrate it in detail, which is a great challenge for students with poor ability.

A Level course is generally recognized by Commonwealth countries, in fact, it is recognized by universities all over the world, but all universities with English as their first language will basically accept A.

Proficiency test scores, including Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the Netherlands, Singapore and other countries, will accept A..

Level's test scores. Its advantage is that the examination is mainly based on calculation. People in China are better at doing calculations, so if you get it right, you can basically get a higher score. He studies fewer subjects. As long as you take three courses, including your application for Oxford and Cambridge, you only need to apply for three courses.

AP courses are relatively limited, limited to the United States and Canada.
