■The British high school curriculum is a national curriculum system in the UK, which includes advanced level courses for the General Certificate of Secondary Education exam and university entrance exams for British students.

Introduction to A-Level Courses

■The A-Level course certificate is used as the admission standard for almost all English taught universities to recruit new students. The purpose of offering A-Level courses in China is to provide Chinese students with an effective pathway to enter foreign universities. Most students take two years to complete this course, but students with strong abilities can sometimes complete it in a shorter period of time. The A-Level curriculum in the UK has a duration of two years and is supported by examination authorities such as Edexcel

The first year is called AS level, and students usually choose 3-4 courses that they are best at and most interested in, and obtain an AS certificate after passing the exam.The second year is called A2 level, and students can choose excellent courses in AS level to continue their studies. After passing the exam, they will receive an A-Level certificate.

■Usually offered subjects: English, Chinese, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business, Computer Science, Accounting, Psychology, Art and Design, Science, Geography, etc.

The most suitable 'golden curriculum system' for Chinese students

1. Highly recognized globally

A-Level Gold Medal Course, recognized by over 11000 universities in more than 160 countries and regions worldwide.

2. Humanized examination system

Adopting modular exams, students choose to study different modules according to their own situation, and ultimately obtain certificates with different professional or directional scores. A-Level exam questions are mainly focused on quality and ability questions, rather than difficult and bizarre questions, so they are more easily understood and mastered by students; 2-3 global joint exam opportunities per year to avoid one exam determining a lifetime. You can take the exam in January, May/June, and October every year. According to the make-up exam mechanism of Edexcel, if students are not satisfied with their exam results, they can enjoy the "generous treatment" of taking the make-up exam under the same version of the syllabus, rather than being determined for life by one exam.

3. Can leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses

Flexible and free course selection, combined learning with subjects that one likes or excels in, with few subjects to study and focused energy (at least 3 subjects). In order to reflect students' interests and strengths in various subjects, Edexcel A-levels cover more than dozens of subjects and allow students to freely choose their strengths to study and take exams. This changes the previous strict evaluation criteria that completely rejected candidates due to the weakness of individual subjects. Students can choose subjects based on their own abilities and interests, and take 3-4 elective courses at A-Level to apply to foreign universities, avoiding weak and biased subjects.
