IB Curriculum
The IB framework — Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, Diploma and Careers Programm — offers education to children aged 3 to 19 years old. The programme focuses on fostering higher-order thinking skills while encouraging diversity, a global perspective, curiosity, and a desire for learning and excellence.
UK Curriculum
The UK curriculum is divided into 5 major stages, Key Stage 1 to 5, which provides education to children aged 3 to 18 years old. While studying in a happy and stimulating environment, students receive appropriate and balanced academic challenges. These enable them to tap into their unique potential in a supportive environment. Students will generally study 8 to 12 subjects. At the end of Key Stage 4 and 5, students will take the (I)GCSE and A-Levels public examinations respectively.
US Curriculum
The curriculum of most US international schools in Hong Kong is based on the Common Core. The Common Core is a set of high-quality academic state standards covering English Art, Literacy, and Mathematics. The learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each school year. The US curriculum integrates a wide range of extracurricular activities that provide comprehensive all-around education. In addition to helping students develop intellectual, emotional, and social skills, it also helps stimulate their imagination to the fullest.
Canadian Curriculum
Instead of having a national curriculum, each province in Canada has its own curriculum. International schools in Hong Kong offer both the Ontario and Alberta curricula for Elementary School and High School. The Grade structure may vary at different schools. It is a robust curriculum that allows access to tertiary education at a wide range of global institutions.
