國際文憑預科課程（IBDP)

Dear Anchan59, what do you think about Logo's language arrangement.  If students do not take Eng as group 1 lauguage, any implications on their subject choices in universities.  Thanks

For new language curriculum, it's new for every parties and info is limited. I am not in a position to comment the implication of program selections, may be after the summer.

In HK not just Logos provide English B, also for Creative.

The back up plan is taking IELTS to meet the university's language requirement.

又再發功，百看不厭，無你的資料真不知如何跟阿仔溝通他的學業，我也學了不少有関升讀大学的過程。有朋友孩子想讀IB 必極力推薦你的资料。

太多學校及當事人當 IB 是一個謎，或神化了它的學習模式及理念。
清楚了解接近事實的資料，懂得跟進及發問，然後作理智的決定。這樣就是我的簡單及單純目的！

事實有好多家長末聽過乜係IB, 同埋唔知道IB在香港啲大学都幾受欢迎，尤其是科大，列明考到36分以上已經有獎學金，我朋友女兒考IB中下成績29分，都輕易取得大学錄取，但當然不是三大或熱門課程。

CUHK also offers scholarships for IB students as well.

還應注意這幾年新高中學制的過度期及磨合期內因應時勢令 IB 加大其競爭力，但假設新高中學制於數年後能成功接軌的話，家長應重新審時度勢評估 IB vs. DSE.

Correct, a new equilibrium as more IB students compete for limited seats through non-JUPAS, 3-5 years maximum.

Take your time.
I used 3 years to learn and then share with you all, take it as one of the sources and read more info from other website. My sharing can be a good starting point.

I also encounter similar problem and I think I have to make a decision soon.  Does your child have difficulty on adapting the change? After 2+year transition, do you want to share your reflection on your previous decision? Thanks!

MCLIAN,

要決定轉回傳統學校, 當時心情真是十分忐忑. 我小朋友屬於循規蹈矩及合作型, 舊校雖然是一間不錯的學校, 但範圍很廣闊, 圖書教學, 功課量不多, 考試時小朋友不知道要溫習準備甚麼, 雖然成績中規中矩, 但小朋友懷疑自己是否沒努力 做好本份, 進而質疑自己的能力.

小四上學期考試後, 我們坦誠跟班主任討論, 小朋友是否更適合傳統教學, 老師亦認同我們的意見, 便開始留意轉校事宜. 當時幸運地成功轉讀一間英文津校小五, 雖然要默書及應付測驗考試等, 但有明確清晰的課程及範圍, 小女反而覺得有安全感, 知道自己把範圍溫習好, 盡了自己學習的本分, 便覺心安理得, 成績續見進步. 有時候, 我們也會討論, 問問小女的個人感受, 她說舊校是很舒服可以hea, 轉校後, 雖然辛苦一些, 但覺得自己的語文根基紥實了, 開心見到肯付出努力, 便有好成果.

今年9月, 小女升讀band1中的英文中學. 雖然呈分試對家長及小朋友都有一定的壓力, 但另一方面, 亦是一種推動力, 正面去牽手支持她面對, 也可以是一個很好的學習經驗. 而身為家長, 經歷了升中的過程, 更體會到求學不能不求分數, 好像很庸俗, 但卻是現實的情況!

Thanks so much for your sharing.

While I am seriouly thinking about sending my kid to IS or a private/DSS school with IB curriculum, I am not sure if he can thrive in his study with his learning style and personality. After all, my kid is just 4 years old. I still need some more time to figure out which mode of learning is the best for him. Did you discover that your girl may do better with a more structured syllabus only when she was P4 or P5? Do you think there are hints to tell whether the kid is suitable for IB or local syllabus at an earlier age, i.e 4 or 5?

It seems that outgoing, smart, confident, and those with good time management and strong motivation to learn will benefit more from IB. How about the opposite type? May you share your opinion?

Many thanks in advance.

silverbell,

你真是一個難得的家長, 小朋友才幼稚園階段, 你已到高中教育版閱覽, 了解IBDP課程, 而非盲目選擇, good job!

我相信無論讀甚麼類型或學制的學校, 首要小朋友都要有良好的學習態度, 否則入讀超級名校又如何!! 我姐姐的小朋友從外地回流香港入讀國際學校, 她們有極良好的英語能力, 具批判性思維, 不是勤做練習類型, 但超級喜愛閱讀, IB成績一個44分, 已到牛津讀法律, 另一個40分, 亦已到美國升學.

當初我考慮是否為小朋友轉校, 姐姐曾勸我不要太心急, 讀這類型的學校, 可能到中二時候才見真章, 叫我再觀察幾年. 但我小朋友最要命的致命傷是不太愛閱讀, 思路亦較呆板, 她屬於從練習中吸收知識的被動型, 所以當時考到一間不錯的學校, 便決定轉校.

回顧小朋友的學習歷程, 其實有得也有失. 舊校以project learning為主, 所以小女這方面, 無疑有較好的訓練. 英語及PTH方面, 口語能力亦較良好, 但外籍老師不喜修改作文時的文法或spelling錯誤, 小朋友會掉以輕心. 另一方面, 舊校鼓勵培養學生探索精神, 亦埋下了她對science的興趣. 總括來說, 追求享受學習的過程, IS或提倡愉快學習的學校較優勝. 但如果像我女兒資質平凡, 較保險是讀傳統學校, 較容易評估她的學習成果.

個人愚見, 不知是對是錯, 作為父母, 我只是盡力去協助提升小朋友的各方面能力, 成效如何, 還要當事人積極配合.

多謝分享，學倒嘢。自己想同亞仔報PYP，不過朋友一般都話唔知non-JUPAS幾多人入倒HK o既U。但我心諗，只要亞仔有果個ability，由細到大都係o係呢種環境下長大，照道埋去邊都得。<--係媽媽冇咁多錢support o者。可惜IB School幾乎都係國際學校，宏信又要睇多幾年，唔知師資o唔ok。
I mean，唔係我唔buy國際學校，問題係好難入。報就實報，係唔知亞仔點樣appeal to interviewer。

若果小朋友年紀細，唔好預NJ，熱門科目一定鬥餐死，比Jupas競爭更大，要有出國的準備，除非求其叫做有得讀大學！

聽說IB是不可重考, 真的嗎?
如果成績真的不理想, 沒有大學收, 請問是否仍可報讀其他副學士之類課程?
