Shanghai Gaomei Bilingual School is located in Huacao Town, Minhang District, and is located in Shanghai Hongqiao International School Group, which has a strong cultural atmosphere. The following is the curriculum of Shanghai Gaomei Bilingual School compiled by me. I hope you like it!
Primitive American high school curriculum
advanced placement
American high school curriculum is divided into two parts: basic curriculum and advanced curriculum.
Senior one and senior two completed the basic courses and credits of American high schools, and senior two and senior three took AP courses.
First, the basic courses:
Including English, mathematics, science, social science, art and so on. At the same time, all students will complete the SAI-I exam in grade 1 1.
SAT-I American college entrance examination11-1grade 2
SAT is an American college entrance examination, which aims to evaluate students' learning ability and academic performance. As the only international high school in China that implements the American education system and can take the SAT, American high schools have reached agreements with many famous American schools to recognize our SAT scores.
Second, advanced courses:
That is, AP course, a prerequisite course in American universities, is the only course that can increase GPA courses in senior high schools; You can transfer credits at most American universities and get free courses at universities.
AP？ Preparatory courses in American universities
The advancement and necessity of prerequisite courses in American universities are reflected in many aspects: according to relevant academic statistics, high school students who have taken AP courses have significant competitive advantages in the university selection stage. In fact, strict American elite schools hope to see at least 6 AP courses on candidates' transcripts; Because this course is more difficult than ordinary high school courses, students who have taken AP courses and obtained corresponding credits obviously have an advantage in the university admission process. The curriculum model is similar to the university curriculum: classroom learning is combined with a large number of after-class exercises, and experimental/practical assignments are also completed. Through this transition and adjustment, students have a substantial understanding of the future university learning environment and better prepare for the next stage of study.
The difficulty of AP course lies in obtaining credits.
That is GPA. After completing an AP course, you can get one more credit on the basis of the original ordinary course. For example, students who get a or A+ in general biology can get four credits accordingly; Students who get a or A+ in AP biology class in the same grade can get 5 credits. With the accumulation of AP subjects, the overall GPA can be greatly improved, which is a crucial consideration for admission to American universities. Therefore, the course tutor of Gaomei School specially reminds all candidates and parents that in the same grade and subject, the B obtained by AP class is higher than the A obtained by ordinary class.
In addition, after entering the university, with the corresponding AP test scores recognized by each school, some basic courses in the first academic year can be exempted; This will give you a chance to catch up with other students and hopefully graduate early. The cost of AP courses offered by Gaomei is much lower than that of AP classes in famous American schools, so parents can transfer the extra tuition fees to their children's college education.
The AP scoring standard ranges from 1 to 5, as follows:
? Five points? excellent
? Four points? okay
? Three points qualified
? Two o'clock? Basically qualified
? 1 min? Unqualified/unqualified
According to the different requirements of American universities, AP scores above 3 points can be converted into corresponding university credits. However, some high-end universities will require AP scores above 4. Regarding the relevant standards of colleges and universities, Gaomei's course instructors will explain to students in advance to guide candidates to make correct decisions in time.
Third, ESL courses:
Intensive English learning course for non-native English speakers. Students who take esl courses can also be exempted from TOEFL and IELTS when they reach a certain level.
