It is my pleasure to contribute information regarding the British Columbia Graduation Program structure to the 5th Anniversary “Collection of Works”. I want to first congratulate Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA on its tremendous successes and dedication to students and excellence over the past 5 years! I know that much more success and growth is in the future for this great school!
非常荣幸能在天津泰达枫叶国际学校五周年校庆之际介绍加拿大BC省的教育体系。首先祝贺天津泰达枫叶国际学校在过去的五年里取得的卓越成绩，我深信天津泰达枫叶国际学校一定会在前进的道路上取得更大的成就。
The British Columbia Program at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA is first and foremost focused on the development of the students – academically, morally, and socially. As such our program really begins with our core values. These core values are: respect, responsibility, honesty and hard work. Students are expected to aspire to and hold these values. A student who adopts these values into their lives, both inside and outside of the classroom, will be successful at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA.
天津泰达枫叶国际学校BC课程体系立足于学生学业上、道德上和社会实践上的多重发展。我们的体系建立在我们的核心价值观基础之上，我们的核心价值观是：尊重、责任、诚实、努力。学生用核心价值观来约束自己，能够时刻用核心价值观来约束自己的学生(不论是在课上还是课下)都将会在天津泰达枫叶国际学校获得成功。
All students in the Grade 10 – 12 Graduation Program are registered with the Ministry of Education and receive BC Provincial Education Numbers (PEN). Upon graduation, students receive their graduation credential, called the ‘Dogwood Diploma’ not from Maple Leaf Educational Systems, but from the British Columbia Ministry of Education. All course content and standards are set by the Ministry of Education. These standards are called Prescribed Learning Outcomes (PLOs). PLOs outline the expectations for what students should know and be able to do at each grade and within each subject area. While a solid knowledge base in the basic skills will be maintained, to better prepare students for the future the BC Program at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA focuses on key competencies like self-reliance, critical thinking, inquiry, creativity, problem solving, innovation, teamwork and collaboration, cross-culturalunderstanding, and technological literacy.
所有10年级到12年级的学生都在加拿大BC省教育部注册，他们都持有加拿大BC省教育部颁发的学号。毕业时，学生拿到的毕业证不是来自于枫叶教育集团而是有加拿大BC省教委颁发的“Dogwood”。我们所有课程的内容和标准都由BC教委规定，这些标准叫做课程教学大纲(“PLOs”)。课程教学大纲概述了学生在每个学科领域和每个学年应该掌握的知识内容。天津泰达枫叶国际学校注重培养学生独立自主、判断性思考、调查研究、创新、解决问题、革新、团队合作以及与人沟通、跨文化理解和学术类读写等全方面的能力。
The precise structure of requirements for the British Columbia Graduation Program at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA is clearly defined by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. In order to graduate, students must acquire a minimum of 80 credits. It must be pointed out that 80 credits is the very basic minimum and does not reflect a strong graduation. Many of our students graduate with 96, 100, or 104 credits.
天津泰达枫叶国际学校关于BC课程体系的各项要求都完全符合加拿大BC省教育部的标准。学生达到至少80学分才能够毕业，需要指出的是80学分只是达到毕业的较低要求，但并不是很理想的毕业学分，很多学生毕业的时候都可以拿到96、100或者104学分。
Credits are earned through successful completion of courses. There are two types of credits: 1. Required credits earned from classes that students must complete and 2. Elective credits earned from classes that students choose to study. A student must acquire a total of 52 Required Credits are from the following courses:
English 10 English 11 or Communications 11 English 12 or Communications 12
Mathematics 10 Pre-calculus 11 or Pre-calculus 12 Social Studies 10
Social Studies 11 Science 10 a Science 11 course
Physical Education 10 Planning 10 a Fine Arts or Applied Skill course
Graduation Transitions
学分的获得基于课程的完成情况。有两种学分类型：一是必修学分，来源于学生必须完成的课程;二是选修学分，通过学生选择的课程获得学分。学生必须完成以下必修课程获得52个学分：
10年级英语 11年级英语或交流英语 12年级英语或交流英语

In addition to the Required Credits, students must acquire a minimum of 28 Elective Credits from the list of available courses. Currently at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA we have more than 50 courses that students may choice from to fulfill these Elective Credits and we are developing more each year based on student request.
毕业过渡，在完成必修课的同时，学生的选修课至少要达到28学分，天津泰达枫叶国际学校现有50多种选修课供学生选择，每年我们都会根据学生的需求增加一些新课程。
The flexibility of the British Columbia Graduation Program at Maple Leaf International School – Tianjin TEDA allows for students to work toward graduation while developing their talents in areas that are interesting for them. This flexibility also allows students to pursue a well-rounded course of study that will require them to build different skills and abilities and to work in a variety of courses which will prepare them well for their future at universities in the West.
天津泰达枫叶国际学校BC课程的灵活性在满足学生毕业要求的同时注重对学生感兴趣领域的才能开发，这种灵活性满足了学生对各领域课程的学习需要，要求他们在不同的课程中发展多种技能，培养各种能力，这些都将对他们以后在西方大学的学习有很大帮助。
We are very proud of our BC Graduation Program. We also very proud of the fact that our students have the main responsibility for their learning program and challenge themselves daily with a variety of courses.
On this occasion of the 5th Anniversary and Open Week, I invite you to make an appointment with me to further discuss our program. I am most happy to welcome you to our campus.
Best wishes,
我们为BC课程体系感到自豪，也为我们的学生积极投入课程的学习，在各种各样的课程中接受不同的挑战而感到自豪。
