Hi leeamy,
多謝你既資料, 我仲想問下其實 Toronto 既私校和公校grade 10 - 12 所有課程係咪一樣, 究竟要讀幾多科 ? 香港要讀成1x科真係好誇張, 同埋入大學一般要求係咩成績 ? tks a lot !

The difference between public schools and private schools are 1). teachers, 2). courses you can select, 3). course schedules, 4). resources and 5). tuition fee.
As you are aware, since you have to pay tuition fee in private schools, so the resources are very different in the two kinds of schools. My newphew is studying in a public high school in Markham area, and my son is studying in a private high school, they have very different courses to select and also their schedules are very different. As an example, my newphew's public high school is a semester schools, and they have two semesters per year, each semester lasts for 3-4 months. His courses for the first semester are Visual Arts, Physical Education, Music, and computer. So this semester he does not have to do any studying, and everyday he goes home to play on the computer. But next semester, he will have Enhlish, Mathematics, History and Geography. So for the next semester he has to work hard, since for each course he will have homework and tests. His mom, my sister, went to a teacher/parent interview and asked why his schedule is like this, but not even the teacher could answer the question.
As for my son, he is studying in a private school. And for couse selection, he can study AP level courses if he is capable. Besides, his school is not a semester school, the courses continue for a whole year, so he won't have the same problem as his cousin. He can select min. 6 courses, and max. 8 courses. The teachers for his schools are all very good at teaching. My son told me the difference between the teachers in HK and those in Canada is that HK teachers always use up a lot of time by scolding and maintaining classroom silence. For each subject, the teachers in Canada try very hard and use a lot of examples to let him understand.
I think it is better to pay private schools.
Besides, whatever you choose to study in each grade, you have to meet the graduation requriement set by each school. And in grade 11 and 12, you should start thinking about what area and which university you are going to, and take relevant courses, just like you are in HK.
Besides, in my opinion, let the kid starts his/her high achool in Canada/overses in grade 9 or 10 is better than grade 11. Some schools do not accept grade 12 new students.
I hope I answer your questions. |
