As society continues to develop, education is becoming more and more of a concern. It is especially important for parents to give their children the right education.
At ASJ, we bring education back to its essence and help every child to become successful. Through the "IB + Hong Kong and Macau Integrated Curriculum", ASJ provides a 15-year international education for children of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and foreign nationals in preschool, primary, middle and high school.
We respect the unique attributes and potential of each student. Our mission is to strive to provide high quality, whole-person education programs through a student-centered learning environment that allows students to explore the ever-changing world using an inquiry-based approach to learning.
The IB program emphasizes mastery of knowledge while focusing on the development of study methods and skills. By mastering some study skills and methods, students can study more efficiently and have more time and energy to show themselves in the examinations. For example, in the IB program, students are required to complete some projects and papers independently, which helps students to practice independent thinking and independent learning skills, and to be well prepared for the exams.
ASJ is an officially authorized IB school. We have a consistent IB certification for K-12. The core part of the elementary school curriculum is the Hong Kong and Macau Inclusion Program. The IB International Curriculum Framework creates an ideal learning environment for students to explore their interests, develop holistically, and achieve their goals, and we hope that through the IB PYP, students will be able to actively explore, think independently, and take responsibility for their own learning. We hope that through IB PYP, students will be active inquirers, independent thinkers, and responsible for their own learning, and that they will ultimately achieve holistic and balanced development and become active and thoughtful lifelong learners.
The IBPYP's six interdisciplinary themes of inquiry provide students with a framework for exploring the unknown, covering language, humanities, personal/social, mathematics, arts, and science and technology.
Kindergarten also has concept-driven inquiry at the core of its curriculum, bringing education into line with the world.
In the older classes, there is a pre-school bridging program for the elementary integration program, which focuses on developing the behavioral skills required for the IBPYP program, such as concentration, listening and expression, as well as preparing the intellectual skills, such as literacy, natural spelling and number recognition, in order to be well prepared for the transition to ASJ elementary school.
The International Education IB program is an approach in which teachers and students explore together rather than simply imparting knowledge, and this approach to education ensures that children receive a well-rounded and globally minded education. Through the IB's multiple measures of learning from each other and global exchange, an in-depth understanding of all aspects of humanity and society is gained through hands-on experience. Then after the end of the course, job search and future studies, students are able to use what they have learned in IB enough to create a good contribution in their surroundings. Therefore, choosing an international education to educate your child will be one of the keys to future success.
When studying for the IB course, you can also include some key knowledge in the exam. For example, the same knowledge points such as calculus and statistics that are taught in the IB math curriculum will also appear on the Advanced Placement or other test-taking exams. This way, students will not only have a more comprehensive body of knowledge when they take the test, but they will also be able to tackle the exam with more confidence.
The IBMYP+ Hong Kong curriculum is student-centered and includes five major areas: environmental exploration, learning methods, community service, human creativity, and health and social education, focusing on the cross-pollination of subject areas to foster international awareness and promote all-round development.
To help students progress to the DSE program, the school provides course selection and start-up counseling for G9 (Form 3) students so that they can progress to the next level.
Through the IB program education from kindergarten to junior high school, children gradually become excellent lifelong independent learners with an international mindset.
In the high school DSE program in Hong Kong, ASJ integrates the IB curriculum's focus on cultivating students' personalities and developing their overall abilities into education, improving students' performance while enhancing their problem-solving and independent learning abilities, making students more competitive and creating more possibilities for their development.
Let the future have
infinite possibilities
The Hong Kong DSE, known as the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE), is an annual public examination administered by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority, and is equivalent to the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination. Students are admitted to prestigious universities in Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas with their DSE results. More than 400 universities in 16 countries around the world recognize the DSE results, and Hong Kong students can apply to 132 universities in China including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University (covering 985 and 211 universities in Mainland China) with their DSE results.
The DSE exam consists of four required courses and two elective courses. The four required courses are: Language, Mathematics, English, and Civics and Society, and there are a variety of elective courses to choose from, including: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Chinese Literature, and Economics.
Compared to the domestic high school curriculum, the DSE curriculum has nearly 70% overlap in content, and the difficulty of science subjects is slightly lower than the equivalent study content in the mainland, so students with a certain foundation in science can achieve excellent results through the stages of study.
