In the first lesson of the parents, the IVY teacher said this...

Recently, IVY gave a wonderful "first lesson" for parents, from Cambridge International Course, A-level Course and Elective Course, International School English Study to IVY Teachers, School Associations, Progressive Guidance, etc. The teachers in IVY comprehensively explained these to parents.

First, President Michelle explained the Cambridge International Course to parents. Through the explanation, parents learned about the International Examination Department of Cambridge University and the Cambridge International Course System, mainly including IGCSE and A-level courses. These courses are widely recognized internationally and the courses are flexible and diverse. The Cambridge International Program is dedicated to developing students who are confident, innovative, responsible and committed.

Regarding the A-Level course selection, Teacher Leon gave a detailed explanation. Students can choose 3-4 courses according to their hobbies, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, business, global vision and other compulsory courses. When choosing a subject, you need to consider your own thinking and language skills. For students with weak logical thinking, but high level of English, they can choose economics, business, biology, global vision, art and other courses.

Teacher Cathera explained the English learning in international schools. Cathera specializes in tutoring students to take IELTS studies and exams. Under the guidance of Cathera, each student's IELTS test can get a good score in order to apply for university in the future.

In order to let parents know more about the situation of IVY teachers, in this parents' community activities, the school teachers all unveiled and introduced their educational background and educational ideas to parents. IVY teachers have rich experience in IGCSE and A-Level teaching. Foreign teachers come from English-speaking countries such as the United States, Britain and Canada. Most of the Chinese teachers have master's degrees in overseas study experience, providing students with a pure English teaching environment.

The teachers in charge of the various associations also introduced the situation of the school community to the parents. At present, IVY student associations include Eco-Rep Environmental Protection Agency, Art Society, Music Society, Biochemical Society, Debating Society, Drama Club, Sports Society, etc. Students can choose to participate in the club according to their own hobbies, or they can set up their own clubs and recruit members. These associations can effectively enrich students' after-school activities and develop their special interests.

Finally, Lesley, the instructor of our school, introduced to parents what preparations should be made before entering an overseas university and what is the order of preparation? Our school guidance teachers will consider students’ academic ability and personal interests, and then help students choose the most suitable major and university. The parent community activities have been well received by parents. The more parents know about the school, the more they are assured of their children's learning and living in IVY.
