▶Domestic: Since both the IB and Overseas Admission programs implement the International Baccalaureate Curriculum, their assessment mechanisms differ from those of regular students, therefore they are not eligible for the Star Program recommendation. Other domestic university admission pathways, such as special talent selection, individual application, and subject-specific tests (advanced placement tests), are open for application. However, due to different curriculum plans, students must prepare for these tests themselves. ▶International: Our school provides information and guidance on university admission pathways in various countries through various organizations, professionals, and career counselors. However, application procedures and required documents vary from country to country and school to school, and students must prepare them themselves.

Our school's primary goal in offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) program is not to encourage students to apply to foreign universities. However, currently, students who successfully complete the IB program still have a significant advantage when applying to foreign universities. This includes the fact that the IB program is taught in English, providing students with solid training in English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills; and the IB diploma is not easy to obtain, with many foreign universities not only accepting direct applications based on the IB diploma but also allowing some subjects to be transferred for university credits. However, university admission systems vary from country to country, and the actual situation must be assessed based on the admission requirements of each university. Our school will do its best to provide relevant information and guidance to students who intend to apply to foreign universities.

▶ IB students can transfer to regular classes, but students in the International Baccalaureate program are not allowed to transfer due to their immigration status. ▶ IB credits are transferable between IB and regular classes; the school will provide a credit conversion chart for students' reference. However, due to differences in curriculum, students must make up any missing credits themselves.

Yes, it is possible. However, if a student wants to transfer to another school, the credit recognition will be primarily determined by the receiving school. Students and parents must carefully evaluate the situation and confirm with the receiving school themselves.

Students in the regular classes can apply to transfer to the IB program from Grade 10 onwards. The transfer application guidelines were posted on the school's homepage last semester. However, due to the significant differences between the IB curriculum structure, teaching methods, assessment mechanisms, and course content and the regular class curriculum, to ensure students understand the IB curriculum requirements and possess a certain level of core competencies, the transfer application process includes a review of written materials and examinations in some subjects. Detailed information is subject to the published guidelines.

Except for Chinese Language and Literature and Language Acquisition (Chinese), which are taught in Chinese, all other IB courses are taught in English, and require a high level of English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that applicants have an English proficiency of at least B1 level. Furthermore, students in the comprehensive program also need to take courses taught in Chinese; therefore, it is strongly recommended that their Chinese proficiency be at least A2 level. (Language Proficiency Level Reference)

Both the IB class and the International class will take the International Baccalaureate (IBDP) courses. The biggest difference lies in the different enrollment targets.

The enrollment target of the IB class is Taiwanese students;

the enrollment target of the international class is the children of overseas professionals.

Those who do not meet this qualification are not allowed to apply.

Example 1: Student A holds a passport from the United States (or other countries), but both parents are Taiwanese and do not have the status of a foreigner, they are not allowed to apply for the general class.

Example 2: Student B holds a U.S. (or other country) passport, one of his parents is a foreigner, but the foreign parent is not employed in Taiwan, or the job content does not meet the requirements of Article 4 of the "Foreign Professional Employment and Employment Law" (For example, an outside teacher in a cram school), you are not allowed to apply for the international class.

Simply put, as long as you are a Taiwanese student, you can apply for the IB class.

■ Students applying for the IB class must first take the Junior High School Education Examination in May, and after the examination results are released, they will register for the school's "Special Enrollment Examination" with their scores (scores must be 2A3B or higher).

Qualified candidates will be interviewed on 7/8, and the list of accepted students will be announced after the interview.

The full name of "International Baccalaureate" is International Baccalaureate (IB), which is a program offered by the International Baccalaureate Organization(IBO) to students worldwide. This learning system was originally designed for the children of diplomats and students who often change schools. It is hoped that through rigorous curriculum design, students' abilities and literacy can be cultivated so that these students can 

Career Programme (CP)smoothly integrate into the educational system of various countries.

The IB course is divided into four stages according to age and learning progress, namely:

• Primary Year Programme (PYP)
• Middle Year Programme (MYP)
• Diploma Programme (DP)
• Career Programme (CP)

The school was named "International" since it was founded. This is mainly due to the fact that the school is located in Taoyuan Aviation City, the capital of the country, and Taoyuan High-speed Railway Station is nearby, which connects north-south transportation. Therefore, the school is tasked to cultivate international talents through second language courses learning, expand students' foreign language ability. However, ten years after the school was established,it coincided with the reform of the 108 syllabus, Under the leadership of the school's principal Yuan-long Chu, after rethinking the meaning of international education, a deeper understanding of the abilities that education should start from the curriculum. The "International Baccalaureate Program" employs inquiry-based and conceptual learning approaches to cultivate students' literacy and abilities. Through the introduction of the International Baccalaureate program, it provides students in the Taoyuan area with another curriculum system and another learning pathway.

In March 2021, the school received authorization from the IB to offer the IB Diploma Programme.

The "International Baccalaureate Program" of our school adopts the two-year pre-university program (DP program) designed by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) for students aged 16-19.
For the 10th grade, the 108 National Curriculum is adopted as the framework, and the IB teaching style and assessment structure are used to cultivate core competencies and self-learning ability.
For the 11th and 12th grades, the IB program is implemented. 
The following tables are the 3-year curriculum structure of our school. 


The curriculum is made up of the DP core and six subject groups. DP core includes Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS), Theory of Knowledge(TOK), and the Extended Essay (EE).
Each subject in the 6 subject groups has Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level(HL).
Students must take 3 courses at SL and 3 at HL, respectively.
Teaching hours of SL and HL courses reach 150 hours and 240 hours respectively.
Subjects offered for each year will differ based on number of students.

Internal Assessment
