其中，拉夫堡大學(xué)、勞倫斯大學(xué)和雪城大學(xué)均為其提供了獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。Kerry接受了雪城大學(xué)四年獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金錄取，并于2020年從該校國際關(guān)系和歷史兩個(gè)專業(yè)畢業(yè)，被倫敦國王學(xué)院的國際政治經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)專業(yè)錄取為研究生。

Kerry’s AIC life

Kerry的AIC生活

Kerry's AIC life

在AIC為期2年的IBDP課程學(xué)習(xí)過程中，學(xué)生可以根據(jù)自己的興趣和意愿進(jìn)行選課，這讓Kerry準(zhǔn)備出國留學(xué)的過程變得方向清晰，且更有動(dòng)力。

At AIC, during the 2-year IBDP study period, student select courses according to their own will and interests, which gave Kerry a clear direction and motivation to prepare studying abroad.

“我喜歡歷史和商科，選修了History的High Level和Business Management 的High Level。很幸運(yùn)，我開始學(xué)習(xí)后發(fā)現(xiàn)，IB這兩門課程的教學(xué)內(nèi)容和安排都是我認(rèn)為很有趣、很值得研究的。所以DP2時(shí)，自然而然就把這兩門課當(dāng)成申請大學(xué)的主要方向“ Kerry說。

"I like History and Business, so I choose IBDP History and IBDP Business Management at Higher Level. Fortunately, when I started to learn them, I found these two IB courses were both challenging, yet fun. Their topics and syllabus content were all interesting and worth studying. So, I, naturally, decided to take these two as my main direction for university application when I stepped into DP2”, said Kerry.

AIC的老師們持續(xù)關(guān)注學(xué)生的大學(xué)申請過程，給予諸多幫助，是Kerry享受在AIC學(xué)習(xí)的另外一個(gè)重要原因。

Another important reason Kerry enjoyed studying at AIC was that the AIC faculty paid close attention to students' university application process and gave them a lot of support.

“我的英國大學(xué)申請就是在Bob老師的幫助下完成的，雖然當(dāng)時(shí)我一心計(jì)劃到美國學(xué)習(xí)，最后也選擇了入讀美國的大學(xué)。但申請且拿下了多家英國大學(xué)offer這件事，確實(shí)給了我更多選擇的余地、安全感和成就感”。

"My English university application was completed with the help of Bob. Although I was fully planning to study in the US, and I chose to go to an American university, the fact that I applied for and won many offers from British universities gave me more options and a sense of security and achievement."

AIC幫助我為大學(xué)生活做足準(zhǔn)備的另外一件事，是提供豐富的CAS活動(dòng)。就像大學(xué)的學(xué)生社團(tuán)：你可以加入自己感興趣的團(tuán)體，甚至嘗試建立自己的社團(tuán)。在我讀DP2那年，加入了歷史事件討論組，就讓我覺得很有趣。

Another thing about AIC that helped me get ready for college life is CAS. It’s basically the similar idea with student communities in college: you can either join some group that you are interested in, or even try to found your own CAS. I myself had a historical-event discussion CAS in my DP2 year, and I found it pretty interesting.

Kerry’s view of IB education

Kerry學(xué)IB的體驗(yàn)

Kerry's view of IB education

對Kerry來說，選擇來AIC學(xué)習(xí)IB課程最大的意義，是在做個(gè)人發(fā)展規(guī)劃時(shí)，看見了更多可能性且擁有更多選擇。

For Kerry, the biggest impact of accepting IB education at AIC was that she could see more possibilities and have more choices when making her personal development plan.

“進(jìn)入大學(xué)前，對自己選修的科目有2年的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間，足夠讓人清晰地知道自己到底感不感興趣，希不希望在大學(xué)繼續(xù)朝著這個(gè)方向深入研究學(xué)習(xí)下去”。

"Before entering the university, you have two years to study the subjects you choose at the IBDP level, which is enough for you to figure out whether the subjects interest you or otherwise; this will help you make decisions on whether you want to continue studying them at university or not."

“很幸運(yùn)的是我沒有經(jīng)歷太多的波折，我的選課、申請都比較順利。包括進(jìn)入大學(xué)后，學(xué)習(xí)歷史專業(yè)課，我也很直接的選擇自己感興趣的課程，其中就包括高中學(xué)過、但尚未深入研究過的“冷戰(zhàn)”這個(gè)內(nèi)容。

"Fortunately, in my case, there weren’t many setbacks. My university courses selection and application went smoothly. After entering the university, I continued to choose courses that I was interested in, including "Cold War", which I learned in high school but didn’t get into in-dept research.

在Kerry看來，IB教育不一定能徹底改變生活，但它確實(shí)在鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生終身學(xué)習(xí)的發(fā)展道路上有著更細(xì)水長流的積極影響。

In Kerry's view, IB program may not be a kind of life-changing education, but it does have more positive and long-term impacts on personal development, encouraging her to keep learning throughout her life.
