Take BC Province as an example. High school students need to pass the provincial examination of BC Province to obtain high school diploma. As far as Chinese students are concerned, it will take at least two years to study in BC Province to pass the provincial examination.
This determines that if you want to go to high school in BC Province, you should start from Grade 11 (i.e. Senior 2) at the latest, but from the feedback of the actual situation, it is suggested that students should start from grade 9 and study abroad should be earlier rather than later. Why?
First of all, grade 9 is the starting point of Canadian high school. Reading a complete Canadian high school curriculum is conducive to students' systematic learning and experience of Canadian teaching methods and concepts. In particular, the 10th grade English will start from a large number of Shakespeare literature.
Secondly, most of the elective courses in Canadian high school are cascade. For example, drama in Grade 10 requires students to pass basic drama in Grade 9. So if students are late in school, they will be restricted in elective courses.
Finally, language and living habits need time to adapt to integration. When students arrive in a country completely different from China's education system, they first need to improve their language, and then they need to live an excessive life, and then they need to learn textbook knowledge and improve their test scores. In order to better achieve the purpose of studying in high school - apply for the top universities in North America, go abroad as early as possible, adapt to the new environment as early as possible, and you can achieve academic success as early as possible.
