回覆 1# vchoi084 的文章
First of all, thanks for spending time to reply this post and making college recommendation. We will study the info provided and pick the right school for my kid. Following is some facts and point of view I would like to share.
http://www.ibo.org/country/HK/index.cfm
Based on the info in the IBO website , there are 35 IB World Schools in Hong Kong offering one or more of the three IB programmes. 21 schools offer the Primary Years Programme , 5 schools offer the Middle Years Programme and 18 schools offer the Diploma Programme.
Since there are only 5 schools offering MYP program and most students would use their DP scores to apply for university admission, I believe not many parents or students in HK would have thought about the possibility of using the MYP certificate as an alternative to high school graduation.
PYP – Primary years programme, total 6 years for age 3-12
MYP – Middle years programme, total 5 years for age 11-16
DP – Diploma programme , total 2 years for age 16-19
From my point of view, the duration of the IB Primary and Middle Years Programme matches the duration of primary and secondary schools in HK while the DP is similar to a post secondary 2 year diploma program which is gaining general recognition in university admission .In fact, some university systems in US, such as UC would grant credits to both IB diploma graduates and MYP certificate holders .
http://www.universityofcaliforni ... -credits/index.html
The International Baccalaureate Organization awards either a diploma or a certificate for individual IB exams. Students who complete the IB diploma with a score of 30 or above will receive 30 quarter (20 semester) units toward their UC degree. Students who receive IB certificates with scores of 5,6 or 7 on Higher Level exams will receive 8 quarter (5.3 semester) units.
You mentioned that if MYP certificate holders would be admitted in local U. However, I would say there are significant numbers of F5 graduate students from HK enrolled in US community colleges yearly without taking F6, F7 or the A-level exam. Some of those may have eventually transferred to varoius UC, CSU or other 4 year U.
Thanks again |
