It is my pleasure to contribute information regarding the British Columbia Graduation Program structure to the 5th Anniversary “Collection of Works”. I want to first congratulate Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA on its tremendous successes and dedication to students and excellence over the past 5 years! I know that much more success and growth is in the future for this great school!
非常榮幸能在天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校五周年校慶之際介紹加拿大BC省的教育體系。首先祝賀天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校在過去的五年里取得的卓越成績，我深信天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校一定會在前進的道路上取得更大的成就。
The British Columbia Program at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA is first and foremost focused on the development of the students – academically, morally, and socially. As such our program really begins with our core values. These core values are: respect, responsibility, honesty and hard work. Students are expected to aspire to and hold these values. A student who adopts these values into their lives, both inside and outside of the classroom, will be successful at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA.
天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校BC課程體系立足于學(xué)生學(xué)業(yè)上、道德上和社會實踐上的多重發(fā)展。我們的體系建立在我們的核心價值觀基礎(chǔ)之上，我們的核心價值觀是：尊重、責(zé)任、誠實、努力。學(xué)生用核心價值觀來約束自己，能夠時刻用核心價值觀來約束自己的學(xué)生(不論是在課上還是課下)都將會在天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校獲得成功。
All students in the Grade 10 – 12 Graduation Program are registered with the Ministry of Education and receive BC Provincial Education Numbers (PEN). Upon graduation, students receive their graduation credential, called the ‘Dogwood Diploma’ not from Maple Leaf Educational Systems, but from the British Columbia Ministry of Education. All course content and standards are set by the Ministry of Education. These standards are called Prescribed Learning Outcomes (PLOs). PLOs outline the expectations for what students should know and be able to do at each grade and within each subject area. While a solid knowledge base in the basic skills will be maintained, to better prepare students for the future the BC Program at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA focuses on key competencies like self-reliance, critical thinking, inquiry, creativity, problem solving, innovation, teamwork and collaboration, cross-culturalunderstanding, and technological literacy.
所有10年級到12年級的學(xué)生都在加拿大BC省教育部注冊，他們都持有加拿大BC省教育部頒發(fā)的學(xué)號。畢業(yè)時，學(xué)生拿到的畢業(yè)證不是來自于楓葉教育集團而是有加拿大BC省教委頒發(fā)的“Dogwood”。我們所有課程的內(nèi)容和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)都由BC教委規(guī)定，這些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)叫做課程教學(xué)大綱(“PLOs”)。課程教學(xué)大綱概述了學(xué)生在每個學(xué)科領(lǐng)域和每個學(xué)年應(yīng)該掌握的知識內(nèi)容。天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生獨立自主、判斷性思考、調(diào)查研究、創(chuàng)新、解決問題、革新、團隊合作以及與人溝通、跨文化理解和學(xué)術(shù)類讀寫等全方面的能力。
The precise structure of requirements for the British Columbia Graduation Program at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA is clearly defined by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. In order to graduate, students must acquire a minimum of 80 credits. It must be pointed out that 80 credits is the very basic minimum and does not reflect a strong graduation. Many of our students graduate with 96, 100, or 104 credits.
天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校關(guān)于BC課程體系的各項要求都完全符合加拿大BC省教育部的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。學(xué)生達到至少80學(xué)分才能夠畢業(yè)，需要指出的是80學(xué)分只是達到畢業(yè)的較低要求，但并不是很理想的畢業(yè)學(xué)分，很多學(xué)生畢業(yè)的時候都可以拿到96、100或者104學(xué)分。
Credits are earned through successful completion of courses. There are two types of credits: 1. Required credits earned from classes that students must complete and 2. Elective credits earned from classes that students choose to study. A student must acquire a total of 52 Required Credits are from the following courses:
English 10 English 11 or Communications 11 English 12 or Communications 12
Mathematics 10 Pre-calculus 11 or Pre-calculus 12 Social Studies 10
Social Studies 11 Science 10 a Science 11 course
Physical Education 10 Planning 10 a Fine Arts or Applied Skill course
Graduation Transitions
學(xué)分的獲得基于課程的完成情況。有兩種學(xué)分類型：一是必修學(xué)分，來源于學(xué)生必須完成的課程;二是選修學(xué)分，通過學(xué)生選擇的課程獲得學(xué)分。學(xué)生必須完成以下必修課程獲得52個學(xué)分：
10年級英語 11年級英語或交流英語 12年級英語或交流英語
10年級數(shù)學(xué) 11年級微積分基礎(chǔ)或12年級微積分 10年級社會學(xué)
11年級社會學(xué) 10年級科學(xué) 11年級科學(xué)中的一門
10年級體育 10年級規(guī)劃 10年級藝術(shù)或者應(yīng)用技巧課
In addition to the Required Credits, students must acquire a minimum of 28 Elective Credits from the list of available courses. Currently at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA we have more than 50 courses that students may choice from to fulfill these Elective Credits and we are developing more each year based on student request.
畢業(yè)過渡，在完成必修課的同時，學(xué)生的選修課至少要達到28學(xué)分，天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校現(xiàn)有50多種選修課供學(xué)生選擇，每年我們都會根據(jù)學(xué)生的需求增加一些新課程。
The flexibility of the British Columbia Graduation Program at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA allows for students to work toward graduation while developing their talents in areas that are interesting for them. This flexibility also allows students to pursue a well-rounded course of study that will require them to build different skills and abilities and to work in a variety of courses which will prepare them well for their future at universities in the West.
天津泰達楓葉國際學(xué)校BC課程的靈活性在滿足學(xué)生畢業(yè)要求的同時注重對學(xué)生感興趣領(lǐng)域的才能開發(fā)，這種靈活性滿足了學(xué)生對各領(lǐng)域課程的學(xué)習(xí)需要，要求他們在不同的課程中發(fā)展多種技能，培養(yǎng)各種能力，這些都將對他們以后在西方大學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)有很大幫助。
We are very proud of our BC Graduation Program. We also very proud of the fact that our students have the main responsibility for their learning program and challenge themselves daily with a variety of courses.
On this occasion of the 5th Anniversary and Open Week, I invite you to make an appointment with me to further discuss our program. I am most happy to welcome you to our campus.
Best wishes,
