讀左BK很多帖，各位家長的回答令我受益良多。下面的問題我已經在網上找來很久，但找不到答案，煩請各位抽時間解答，非常感激！
女兒在LS小學畢業，考慮轉去IS學校就讀，現已經收到CAIS G7的offer。
1）知道CAIS是加拿大學制，女兒未來打算去美國讀大學。如果整個中學階段在CAIS就讀，未來去美國升學是否會有很 大的影響？加拿大和美國的學制分別是不是很大呢？
2）大學升學率如何？畢業後，除了升讀加拿大的大學，其他的同學在大多數哪裡升學呢？
3）中學部以上的功課多嗎？大約要多長時間可以完成？
4）考試測驗一年幾次？
5）中學部有無海外活動？
6）中學部的校風如何？網上有些言論對中學的校風有負面評論，更希望聽到家長的真正評價。
7）女兒英文程度不俗，但還是有些擔心從LS到IS的適應問題，不知道有沒有媽媽有類似的經驗可以分享？
多謝你地寶貴意見和時間！

我嘗試答下你
因為Ontario 有OAC grade 13 讀，而其他省去到grade 12就入大學。如果 UBC 就讀完12班入大學。但如果你在BC 讀high school 完成12班也可申請U of T .你上

就明白

I've got the same problem as well! I'm also planning on letting my d go to the states after her secondary education!!
From the kids I know in CAIS they all seem really polite and nice. They have trips to different countries every year and the kids can choose themselves. From what I've heard there's trips to Korea, USA as well as Okinawa
CAIS follows the Alberta curriculum. The students take AP exams and SAT, same as the US curriculum. But as for how different the two systems are I'm not really sure

Hi Ism0113 & Hb12699，
Thank you for your kind advice. If the students take SAT and AP examination as same as US, I have no worry now.
By the way, do you have any idea what kinds of universities can the graduates from CAIS get into?

They have a very detailed list on their website. One thing you have to beware of is that there aren't a lot of different AP classes offered in CAIS. If you're looking for a school with a lot of choices, I would recommend HKIS. Overall, I believe it is a very good school and the English standard should be quite high. All my friends whose kids go to CAIS seems to have a lot of great things to say.
I'm thinking of sending my d there this year as well

Hi Ism0113,
Thank you so much for your reply, so we are in the same boat now.
Can you explain in more detail about "there aren't a lot of different AP classes offered in CAIS."
HKIS is too far for us, I'm also interested in CIS, but seems impossible to get in now.http://www.edu-kingdom.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2511642
So, what is your decision? keeping your daughter in CAIS until Uni or transfer to another IS later?

As far as I know, there are quite a lot of AP choices in year 12 and "year 13". By the way, they have just initiated some changes to their senior year curriculum which would allow more flexibilities and more AP choices. You should make an appointment to talk to the school (I think the person in charge is called Mr Khiatani??) if this is your concern. I'm not the best person to answer this question.
As far as I know, CAIS graduates have no problems applying to US universities.
My daugher is in Grade 7. The core subjects are: Maths, Science, Chinese (using PTH and simplified characters), English, Social Studies, Christian Ethics. They have four terms in a year, meaning you'll receive report cards four times. In my opinion, the amount of homework and tests are quite reasonable, which seem to be quite appropriate formative and summative assessments. PE is every other day. Other elective subjects are: Band / something computer (they choose one of the two). Then there are four rotational subjects in which they take one per term: Home Economics, Art, Drama (lots of fun), and Health Education.
So far, my daughter is happy, I am happy, my husband is happy. The whole family is happy.
My daughter studied in a local primary school and switched this year. Her English was above average amongst her peers in primary school and she seemed to fit in just fine. She was able to make good friends quite fast. Students generally are quite friendly and fun-loving - ordinary teenagers, that's what they are. You wouldn't sense the kind of cut-throat competitiveness as in the case of some elite local secondary schools.
The thing I like most is the good balance of workload. In a typical local secondary school, in Secondary 1, there are easily some 15-20 subjects in their timetable: Chinese, English, Maths, Science (Physics, Biology, Chemistry), Liberal Studies, Geography, History, Chinese History, PE, Art, Home Economics including Cookery and Needlework, PTH, English Literature, Religious Studies, Music, Imagine each subject gives just one piece of homework, one test, one group project... to me it seems quite difficult to have to master so many subjects at one time, sleeping time and opportunities to develop other potential and interests will have to be sacrificed. But in CAIS, they only have to manage 7-8 subjects at one time. She has time to do good reading, join community services, take music lessons, cycling on weekends...
This is just my humble opinions based on my observation. Other people of course will have other opinions of the school.
