尊敬的家长，

您们好！我很高兴地宣布，亚加达国际预科已经获得剑桥国际官方授权提供剑桥国际普通中等教育证书（IGCSE）课程和考试，中心编号为CX133。我们已经正式加入剑桥国际学校社区，成为全球160个不同国家大约10000所学校中的一员，也是剑桥国际在广州认证的第14所学校。

Dear parents,

I am delighted to announce that Alcanta

International College has been entitled to deliver the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) curriculum and examinations with center number CX133. We have officially joined the Cambridge international school community of about 10, 000 school worldwide in 160 different countries, 14th school registered in Guangzhou.

IGCSE课程是为14到16岁学生提供的为期两年的国际资格证书课程。获得IGCSE资格证书的学生不仅受过良好的教育，而且能够适应并为IB文凭课程学习做好充分的准备。事实上，包括中国在内的世界各地，很多IB国际文凭学校使用剑桥IGCSE课程为学生学习IB国际文凭课程做准备。

剑桥IGCSE课程的目标是逐步培养学生的学习态度，生活技能和学术技能，以确保他们在下一阶段的学习取得成功。通过学习剑桥IGCSE课程，学生会变得更加自信、负责、创新、反思和并且提高学生学习实践的参与度。以下是学习剑桥IGCSE课程，来自“培养剑桥学习者特质”的五个成果：

自信地处理自己及他人的信息和想法
对自己负责，对他人负责，尊重他人
作为学习者进行反思，培养学习能力
创新并为迎接新的和未来的挑战做好准备
在学习和社交方面积极参与，准备做出改变

IB学习者培养目标也是相似的，他们同样希望学生成为终身学习者，自信地进入高等教育，并准备好迎接所有挑战。

The IGCSE is a two-year international qualification offered to students who are typically 14–16 years old. Students who attain IGCSE qualifications are not only well-educated but also adaptable and thoroughly prepared for the IB Diploma Program. In fact, many IBDP schools use Cambridge IGCSE curriculum to prepare their students for the IBDP program around the world, including China.

The aim of Cambridge IGCSE program is to instil in students attitudes, life skills and academic skills to ensure success in their next level of study. By studying the Cambridge IGCSE students become confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged. The following are five outcomes of studying Cambridge IGCSE come from “Developing the Cambridge Learner Attributes”:

Confident in working with information and ideas – their own and those of others
Responsible for themselves, responsive to and respectful of others
Reflective as learners, developing their ability to learn
Innovative and equipped for new and future challenges
Engaged intellectually and socially, ready to make a difference

The IB learner profiles are similar in that they also want students to become lifelong learners who can enter higher studies with confidence and are prepared to face all challenges that come their way.

剑桥的教学方法强调概念学习。

这有助于学习者获得:

学科知识的深度和广度
在新的情境中应用知识和技能的信心
流利地交流信息和自己的理解并能解释不同方面是如何联系起来的
对学科的掌握程度，帮助他们在更高水平学习中取得进步

完成IGCSE考试的学生将获得剑桥颁发的证书和成绩，这本身就是一个很大的成就。剑桥IGCSE可以作为单独的科目，也可以作为享有声望的国际教育证书 (ICE) 的资格证书，该证书会颁发给在不同学科领域中至少取得七门IGCSE课程及格的学生。

The Cambridge approach to teaching

and learning emphasises

conceptual learning.

This helps learners to gain:

Greater depth and breadth of subject knowledge.
Confidence in applying knowledge and skills in new situations.
Fluency to communicate information and their own understanding and to explain how different aspects are linked.
A level of mastery of their subject to help them progress with their learning at a higher level.

Students who complete their IGCSE examinations will receive a certificate of completion along with their scores from Cambridge which in itself is quite an achievement. Cambridge IGCSEs can be taken as individual subjects or as qualifications towards the prestigious International Certificate of Education (ICE), which is awarded for a minimum of seven IGCSE passes from different subject areas.

有资格获得剑桥国际教育ICE证书

的学生将被分为以下三个类别之一：

优异 - 在五门科目中取得A或以上等级并在两门科目中取得C或以上等级
良好 - 在五门科目中取得C或以上等级并在两门科目中取得F或以上等级
通过 - 在七门科目中取得G或以上等级

如果学生在五门科目中取得A等级并在两门科目中取得C或以上等级，他们将获得IGCSE优异证书。

Students who qualify for the Cambridge

ICE award will be placed in one of three categories:

Distinction - Grade A or better in five subjects and grade C or better in two subjects.
Merit - Grade C or better in five subjects and grade F or better in two subjects.
Pass - Grade G or better in seven subjects.

If students achieve a grade of ‘A’ in 5 subjects and Grade C or above in two subjects, they will be awarded an IGCSE diploma with Distinction.

AIC开设广泛的IGCSE科目，共21门，为学生提供广泛的选择，使他们能够在所有不同的科目组别中应用和发展创造力。我们在AIC提供以下课程：

第一组：中文，中文作为外语，英语语言与文学，
英语作为第二语言
第二组：经济学，商业研究、剑桥全球视野
第三组：科学·综合（小），科学·综合（大），物理，
化学，生物
第四组：数学，附加数学
第五组：商科，戏剧，音乐，艺术与设计，
计算机科学，体育

此外，大学特别认可和重视剑桥国际教育证书 (ICE)，它为预备文凭课程提供了广泛的国际认可。在IGCSE考试中取得优异成绩，将是学生在DP1学年申请大学时体现能力的一个很好的指标。像AIC这样提供国际教育证书 (ICE)的学校，被认为是一所追求卓越的学校。如果学生在IGCSE考试中取得A或以上成绩，申请英国或美国大学时会作为颁发奖学金一个重要影响因素。

IGCSE课程强调校外评估，是更专业的IB文凭课程的理想准备。剑桥IGCSE课程旨在满足国际上的学生的多样化需求。在美国和世界其他一些国家，有些大学和学院会考虑录取在IGCSE取得好成绩的学生。

我们很高兴加入剑桥大家庭。我们要感谢在这一过程中支持我们的每一个人，并期待为我们社区的家长和学生服务。

A wide range of IGCSE subjects are available at AIC, 21 subjects in total, providing students with a wide range of choices so that they can apply and develop their creativities in all different subject groups. We offer the following courses at AIC:

Group I: Chinese, Chinese as a Foreign Language, English Language & Literature, English as Second Language

Group II: Economics, Business Studies, Cambridge Global Perspectives

Group III:Combined Sciences, Coordinated Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Management)

Group IV: Mathematics, Additional Mathematics

Group V: Business Studies, Theatre, Music, Art and Design, Computer Science, Physical Education

Also, universities especially recognize and appreciate the ICE because this provides a broad range of subjects with international recognition for the pre-Diploma Programs. Excellent performance in IGCSE exams would be a good indicator for universities of student abilities when they apply to universities in their DP1 year (since DP results do not come out until after they have actually completed their Diploma Program. Schools like AIC, which offers ICE awards, are seen to be a school which promotes excellence. If students obtain merit or above, scholarship will be considered when applying to UK or USA universities.

The IGCSE with its emphasis on final written examinations is an ideal preparation for the more specialized IB Diploma programme. Cambridge IGCSE is designed to meet the diverse needs of an international audience. In the USA and other countries in the world, there are some universities and colleges which would consider candidates for admission who obtained good results in their IGCSEs.

We are excited to have joined the Cambridge family. We would like to thank everyone who supported us throughout this journey and look forward to serving our community of parents and students.
