Curriculum Design

BCCSC takes Wisdom, Virtue, Perseverance, and Aspiration as its admonition. The school adopts scientific management and teaching methods called META (Media, Education, Technology, and Arts), which aims at developing the student’s comprehensive ability to meet the challenge of the 21st century. To strengthen the student’s proficiency in English, the teachers from Canada take charge of courses such as English language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), social studies and information technology. All courses offered by Canadian instructors are taught in English to make sure that the student acquires an English proficiency that will enable them to study and live abroad. To enhance the student’s English proficiency, BCCSC has equipped an advanced multimedia teaching devise, providing the best and an ideal atmosphere to learn English with native English speakers through modern teaching facilities. The amount of time that the student spends on English in BCCSC is three times as much as that the students do in the public schools in China. Upon completion, the student will meet the Canadian standard for university/college in English proficiency, and computer knowledge. In order to develop the student’s multi-ability, BCCSC offers more than 40 elective courses, including French, studio work, English drama, Chinese literature, arts and P. E. To meet the students’ need to develop their personal traits , the school keeps sending students to take part in all kinds of contests both at home and abroad, such as the Contest of Computer Works, the English Contest in China, International Contests in Mathematics, etc. In all the contests, the students of BCCSC have done wonderful job with many first places in international math contests and other prizes as well.
