The Consultant’s Take
Best Fit For:
Families who want IGCSE plus the IB Diploma in English with genuine Chinese bilingualism at well below big-school fees, including late arrivals from local or mainland systems who need a non-selective English-medium landing that still takes written Chinese seriously.
The “Insider” Tip:
The entrance battery includes a Chinese writing paper alongside English comprehension and Mathematics, so prepare all three, not just English. The flip side of the non-selective intake is remarkable value-added: a 97% IB pass rate with a mean of 34 means solid students are lifted, not filtered.
