    Choosing an academic path is one of the most significant milestones in a student's educational journey. Here at YCIS Beijing, we recently marked this important occasion with our IGCSE and IB Diploma Programme Options Events. These sessions kicked off a crucial period of reflection and decision-making for our Year 9 and Year 11 students as they begin to chart their courses for the coming years.

    More Than Subjects, It's About Passion

    The process of selecting subjects is an opportunity for students to explore their passions and align their academic pursuits with their personal interests and future ambitions. In close collaboration with our dedicated subject teachers and our University and Careers Guidance Officer (CUGO), Ms. Gaby Dong, students are empowered to choose paths that challenge them academically and spark their curiosity and creativity.

    With a comprehensive range of subjects available for both the IGCSE and IB Diploma Programmes, we are confident that every student can build a pathway that reflects their unique strengths and aspirations, preparing them for success here at YCIS Beijing, then to university, and beyond.

    A Partnership in Success

    We believe this journey is a collaborative one. The initial options events are just the beginning of an ongoing dialogue between students, teachers, and parents. To ensure every family feels supported, we strongly encourage students to continue these important conversations at home and with our academic staff that are always here to support them.

     

    Together, we can ensure our students embark on paths that lead to a future filled with achievement and purpose.
