ANChan59,
My question may look stupid.
In the absence of track record, how can you ensure DBS is on the right track in providing the IBDP?
No stupid question, but may have stupid answer .
Pls refer to this post and I shared about our struggles between IB vs NSS. You may know our considerations.
http://forum.edu-kingdom.com/viewthread.php?tid=2214323&extra=&page=1
My son studies in DBS and our friends' kids in Pre-IB, we have in-depth understanding of the commitment of DBS to run an outstanding IBDP. We have friends and their kids in LPCUWC, CIS, AIS, ESF, we discussed with them and got boarder picture of IB schools in HK. We opt for IB instead of NSS finally.
Many choices in HK for IB schools:
1. IS
2. ESF schools
3. LPCUWC
4. DSS IB schools and
5. Private IB schools.
In primary school, we considered 1 & 2, but we preferred local school with Christian background. He got in DBS at G7 and enjoys the school life. Personally, I prefer LPCUWC, but he didn't want to be a boarder. 4 & 5, we opt for SPCC as it has similar background as DBS and we live HK side.
Cambridge's admission officer was in HK 2009, he visited 10 top secondary schools in HK, some are IB or IB candidate schools. We shortlisted three of them, LPCUWC, SPCC and DBS. In last year Garden Fete, we discussed with 3 IB teachers at their booth, we chatted for an hour and got some useful info about the development of the Pre-IB, IBDP, IB building, subject selection, university recognition, language proficiency...... They are knowledgeable and supportive to students & parents.
He applied for both DBS and SPCC, finally he preferred DBS. We only faciliated him to make a better choice, primary school, secondary school and IB all picked by himself.
Yes, no track record, we can only reply on other track records and the systematic development of the IBDP programs by DBS. DBS recruited IB teachers and deployed some of them to teach NSS as they can't enrol more students becasue of the delay of the IB buidling construction. Students loved IB teachers and liked their methodology. Authorised in May 2010....... as per the schedule. |
