咨詢Mrs Kirk

問(wèn)題1：A Level選科有什么適合的策略？

認(rèn)真研究每個(gè)A Level科目的信息，例如跟學(xué)科老師交談、了解學(xué)科課程的具體內(nèi)容、與在讀學(xué)生交流等。可以了解學(xué)科課程的考試方式，判斷自己是否能很好地應(yīng)對(duì)這種考試方式。相比于IGCSE，A Level的課程在難度方面有所升級(jí)，因此要做出明智的選科決定。學(xué)生對(duì)未來(lái)想要學(xué)習(xí)的大學(xué)課程或職業(yè)選擇可能隨時(shí)發(fā)生變化，所以在選科時(shí)要確保選擇自己喜歡而且擅長(zhǎng)的科目。如果你正在學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)學(xué)科中某一門(mén)的A Level科目，那么你可能需要考慮是否需要搭配另一門(mén)科學(xué)或者數(shù)學(xué)科目，特別是如果你希望日后在科學(xué)領(lǐng)域攻讀大學(xué)課程或從事相關(guān)職業(yè)的情況下。如果你選擇了特定的職業(yè)發(fā)展方向，則需要查詢一下該職業(yè)是否有特定的A Level學(xué)科要求。如果你選擇了特定的希望攻讀的大學(xué)課程，則需要查詢?cè)撜n程的入學(xué)要求。一些大學(xué)課程有非常具體的A Level科目要求，另一些課程則比較靈活，所以要多加注意，留意入學(xué)要求。

問(wèn)題2：佛山霍利斯如何幫助學(xué)生進(jìn)行選科？學(xué)校為學(xué)生提供哪些方面的支持？

當(dāng)學(xué)生們升讀12-13年級(jí)時(shí)，他們需要選擇3-4門(mén)A Level科目。作為前提，學(xué)生們也必須在這些學(xué)科的IGCSE考試中達(dá)到特定的水平。學(xué)生會(huì)定期與年級(jí)導(dǎo)師進(jìn)行交談，以此確定他們的興趣和優(yōu)勢(shì)所在。很重要的一點(diǎn)是，學(xué)生們應(yīng)該選擇他們喜歡且能勝任的科目。學(xué)校會(huì)與學(xué)生討論他們的志愿和未來(lái)目標(biāo)，并為他們指出實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的最佳途徑。在交談中，我們也會(huì)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生嘗試探索他們之前可能沒(méi)有考慮過(guò)的科目。

問(wèn)題3：學(xué)生們的A Level 選科需要參考IGCSE成績(jī)嗎？

對(duì)于某一些特定科目，如果學(xué)生在之前的學(xué)習(xí)階段沒(méi)有接觸或達(dá)到一定的知識(shí)水平，他們是不能在A Level階段選擇這些科目。比如說(shuō)，如果一個(gè)學(xué)生在IGCSE數(shù)學(xué)考試中成績(jī)沒(méi)有拿到7分或以上，那么學(xué)校會(huì)強(qiáng)烈建議這位學(xué)生選擇其他的科目。A Level課程的學(xué)術(shù)難度升級(jí)了不少，學(xué)生們需要清楚知道自己的優(yōu)勢(shì)所在。但在另一些科目，情況卻截然不同，例如有些學(xué)生以前沒(méi)有學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)或者全球視野，但他們也可以選擇這兩門(mén)科目，因?yàn)檫@些科目的所有學(xué)生基本上都是同時(shí)從入門(mén)階段開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)。

受益終生的可轉(zhuǎn)移技能

除了注重學(xué)術(shù)上的卓越，佛山霍利斯還非常重視培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的可轉(zhuǎn)移技能，例如溝通能力、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作能力和問(wèn)題解決能力，以確保他們?cè)谌松懈鞣矫婺軌颢@得成功。這些技能的教學(xué)都被囊括在必修科目和豐富多彩的課外活動(dòng)中。

家長(zhǎng)建議

在佛山霍利斯，我們重視家長(zhǎng)在孩子學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中所扮演的重要角色。在A Level選科期間，我們鼓勵(lì)家長(zhǎng)和學(xué)生之間進(jìn)行積極、公開(kāi)和真誠(chéng)的交談。我們重視家長(zhǎng)的意見(jiàn)，并相信家長(zhǎng)的參與和支持有助于確保學(xué)生們能夠追求自己的興趣愛(ài)好，同時(shí)也能達(dá)到他們的學(xué)術(shù)目標(biāo)。

Mrs Kirk

"我們很鼓勵(lì)家長(zhǎng)們?cè)诤⒆觽儗W(xué)習(xí)和做選擇的時(shí)候給予充分支持，這對(duì)于孩子們的成長(zhǎng)有重要幫助作用。所以佛山霍利斯非常建議家長(zhǎng)們給孩子分享自己的學(xué)習(xí)或成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷，使他們能夠了解達(dá)到目標(biāo)的道路是多元化的，或支持和幫助他們進(jìn)一步探索不確定的道路。這都能夠幫助學(xué)生做出冷靜和經(jīng)過(guò)深思熟慮的選擇。"

12-13年級(jí)是學(xué)生們學(xué)習(xí)生涯的最后階段，也是通往高等教育學(xué)府或未來(lái)工作的重要的銜接階段。在佛山霍利斯，我們能夠提供世界一流的教育服務(wù)，激發(fā)學(xué)生的求知欲和促進(jìn)他們的個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)。我們的A Level課程均有經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的學(xué)科教師授課，為學(xué)生們提供豐富的科目選擇，使他們能夠追求自己真正的興趣愛(ài)好和目標(biāo)理想。

LEH International School Foshan recently hosted an A Level Information Session to introduce the A Level subject options to parents and students. The event aimed to provide a deeper insight into the curriculum and highlight the advantages of the British Advance Level curriculum.

In this article, we invite Mrs Kirk, Head of the Sixth Form to share more information on the A Level curriculum and support service at LEH Foshan and some professional tips with all families.

Mrs Kirk

Mrs Kirk is our Head of Mathematics and Head of Sixth Form. She has taught Maths for over 30 years around the world in top international schools, including Colombia, Spain, Dubai and Bangkok. Before joining LEH Foshan she was teaching in the UK where she was not only teaching Maths, but also enjoyed the role of Sixth Form Tutor supporting pre-university preparation as well as an A-Level Examiner.

Why A Level?

The A Level curriculum is one of the most widely recognised qualifications for university entry in the United Kingdom and around the world. It offers students the opportunity to specialise in specific subject areas and provides them with a more in-depth understanding of the subjects they choose to study. Click here to learn more about our A Level curriculum.

Ask Mrs Kirk

Q1: What are the best strategies when it comes to choosing A-Level subjects?

Research each A Level thoroughly – talk to your teachers to find out what is involved in the course. Talk to students who are already taking that subject. Find out how the course will be assessed and whether this will suit you and your strengths. A Levels are a big step up from IGCSEs – they are harder! So choose subjects wisely. Career or degree ideas may change so make sure to choose subjects which you like and can do well in. If you are taking a science A Level, you should consider whether you need to look at taking another science or maths, particularly if you are interested in scientific careers or courses. If you have a specific career in mind, check to see if you will need specific A Level subjects. If you have a specific degree course in mind, check the entry requirements. Some university courses are very specific about the A Level subjects required – other degree subjects are very flexible. Check entry requirements.

Q2: How does LEH Foshan help students choose their subjects? What sorts of support does the school offer to its students?

Once students reach the sixth form, it is expected that they have elected to study three or four A level subjects. However, prior to this, students must have achieved a specific level at IGCSE. We regularly hold meetings with both tutors and students to identify their interests and strengths. It is crucial that students select subjects they enjoy and can excel in. We discuss their aspirations and future goals with them, and guide students towards choosing the best path to achieve their goals. During our conversations, we also encourage students to explore subjects they may not have previously considered.

Q3: Do the choices depend on student’s IGCSE results?

There are instances when a student cannot choose a particular subject because there is no evidence of previous knowledge to the level that would allow the student to access the course. For instance if a student does not reach a level 7 in mathematics at IGCSE the school would strongly advise the student to choose another subject that they can access at A Level. A Level is quite a big jump academically and students need to be realistic about where their strengths lie. Conversely some students will not have studied Economics or Global Perspective before but the course will be open to them as all students will start from a lower assumed knowledge point.

Transferable Skills for Lifelong Success

In addition to academic excellence, LEH Foshan also places a strong emphasis on the development of transferable skills, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, to ensure that our students are prepared for success in all aspects of their lives. These are reflected in our compulsory subjects and the diverse extra-curricular activities (ECAs).

Compulsory Subjects:

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS)

Physical Education

Careers and University Guidance

International Project Qualification (IPQ)

Personal Social Health Education (PSHE)

Daily ECAs

At LEH Foshan, our students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of ECAs, including sports, music, drama, and community service, which help to develop their leadership, social, and creative skills. Learn more about our ECA Programme here.

Support Services at Sixth Form

Apart from academic learning and support in the curriculum, students also benefit from structured career and university guidance and counselling services, including in-house tutoring, university fairs, and support from UCAS. Click here to learn more details.

Tips for Parents

At LEH Foshan, we recognise the important role that parents play in their child"s academic journey. We encourage active, open, and honest dialogues between parents and students when it comes to choosing A Level subjects. We value the input of parents and believe that involving them in the decision-making process helps ensure that students are able to pursue their passions while also meeting their academic goals.

Mrs Kirk

"Parents are encouraged to support their child’s learning and making choices is a vital part of the child’s growth so LEH strongly supports parents sharing their own academic journeys and researching with their child so that they can understand the many different paths to reach a goal or helping their child move forward even when they are unsure of their own path will really help our students make calm and well-considered choices."

The Sixth Form is the culmination of a student’s school career and the stepping stone to the worlds of higher education or the workplace. At LEH Foshan, we take pride in offering a world-class education that promotes intellectual curiosity and personal growth. Our A Level curriculum is expertly delivered by our experienced teachers and provides all students with a multitude of subject choices, allowing them to pursue their real passions and interests.

?

LEH Foshan also offers a Pre-A Level programme for students who have not completed the two-year IGCSE programme to help them lay all important foundations ahead of the 2-year A Level Programme courses. The programme is a one-year course, with intensive English tuition, and opportunities to experience learning new subjects in English and to provide comprehensive preparation for all the school’s A level courses.
