选课指导

Course Selection Guidance

为了提高同学们的申请竞争力，体现课程多样化，今年我校会陆续开设多门AP课程。AP课程相较于IBDP课程，更注重广度，部分AP课程可作为高难度IBDP课程（预计2021-22学期推出）的预备课程，不仅为学生们迎接IBDP课程打下基础，也丰富和加强了自身的学术背景。针对9年级同学，我们会发放选课意向表，采集同学们的选课意向。10年级的同学可根据自身学习情况选择科目。11年级的同学可结合各大学官网给出的高中毕业要求，来有针对性的选择相关科目进行学习。

我校目前计划开设的AP科目，课程长度和开设年级如下：

AP物理1&2，两科各1年（10-11年级）

AP化学 1-2年（10-11年级）

AP微积分 AB, BC(11-12年级)

AP生物 2年 （10-11年级）

AP计算机1年（10或11年级）

AP 微观经济学 1年（11年级），宏观经济学（12年级）

（具体科目名单将在本学期的家长会上正式宣布）。

结合未来大学申请及专业选择，我们也给出AP选课建议，以供同学们参考：

In order to improve students' overseas application competitiveness and demonstrate the diversity of courses, our school will open several AP courses this year, and the course selection is planned to be completed in mid-November.
AP courses are more extensive than IBDP courses. Some AP courses can be used as preparatory courses for advanced IBDP(expected to be launched in the 2021-22 semester), which not only lay afoundation for students to study IBDP courses, but also enrich and strengthen their academic background. We will collect students' course intention by form for Grade 9. Grade 10 students can choose courses according to their learning conditions. According to the requirements of high school graduation onthe website of each university, students can choose relevant subjects to study. The following are the AP subjects, course length and grades currently planned by SIBS.:

11-12年级升学流程

Grade 11-12 application process

刚刚结束了紧张的RD轮申请，我校12年级同学正在等待大学录取结果，所有老师也和他们一样，等待着好消息的到来。

同时，11年级同学也即将进入升学准备阶段。我们建议从现在到8月份这段时间积极备考托福和SAT。受到疫情影响，各考试时间安排会实时调整，还请同学们随时关注各考试官网信息。在今年的暑假期间，11年级同学需要着手准备个人简历和择校。9月份新学期开学后，我们会和同学们一起开展头脑风暴，准备申请文书及个人陈述。10月最先开启的是英国UCAS申请系统。随后美国大学ED（提前录取）和EA（提前行动）及UIUC（伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校）的申请会一直持续到10月底。11月份开放的是加州大学全部分校唯一一轮申请以及UW（华盛顿大学）的申请。12月份开放的是RD（常规录取）和ED2（提前录取），会一直持续到明年1月1日截止。

SIBS Grade 12 has just finished its intense round of RD application and is waiting for the offer letters of university admission. All the teachers are also waiting for the good news.

Meanwhile, Grade 11 is about to begin preparing college applications. We recommend students to actively prepare for TOEFL and SAT from now to August. Because of the epidemic, the exam schedule will be adjusted on time, so registration information should be searched in the website.During this summer vacation, Grade 11 students need to start preparing their resumes and college selection. After the new semester starts in September, we will brainstorm with students to prepare the Essay and personal statement writing.
