Core Curriculum

The core Grade 10 curriculum includes Chinese, Maths, English, Chemistry, Global Perspectives, Wellbeing and UniversityGuidance.

 

Chinese

Chinese will be a bespoke curriculum based on the National G10 curriculum. As a Chinese pupil, learning about Chineseliterature, history, and culture can help them gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their own heritage, aswell as a broader perspective on the world.

 

Maths

Chinese pupils have a relatively strong background in mathematics, but as their previous language of study was Chinese,they will use CAIE's additional maths curriculum as their main focus for the year in order to better articulate with theA-level programme that follows. Pupils will use this time to fill in knowledge gaps, language gaps and to enhancecritical thinking skills.

 

English

We have created a bespoke English programme for your children. This programme focuses on pupils' ability to acquireEnglish language, thus helping them to be able to study a number of subjects in English in their future A-level courses.

 

Global Perspectives

Having Global Perspectives as a subject will benefit pupils by providing a comprehensive understanding of differentcultures, values, and perspectives from around the world. The course also broadens their horizons, enhances criticalthinking skills, and prepares them for higher education and career opportunities in a globalized world. Furthermore,studying a Global Perspectives course can prepare pupils to address global issues and challenges and make informeddecisions as they navigate a rapidly changing world. In addition, this will also be another way to improve thechildren’s English acquisition.

 

Chemistry

Similar to Maths, we will use the IGCSE Chemistry as a basis for this programme. It will not only bridge the knowledgegap, but also prepare pupils to make a formal transition to their future A-level courses. We will also focus more onpupils' ability to design experiments, operate experiments and analyse data, thus developing their scientific literacy.Chemistry will be a compulsory subject for all pupils.

 

Wellbeing and University Guidance

Our wellbeing programme will focus on the following areas: resilience and independence; physical and mental health,selfawareness and social-emotional competence.

 

In addition, this time will be also used for university guidance. Pupils will receive comprehensive advice on theircareer path, courses and jobs that enable them to make a proper and informed choice. In addition to these core subjects,the Grade 10 curriculum will also include Biology, Physics, Economics, Computer Science, Physical Education, Art andMusic to help pupils develop holistically and to prepare them for their A-level choices in the following year.
