　　為何IB是的課程?

　　Why is IB the leading curriculum?

　　IB課程為學生面對將來不確定或復雜的機遇和挑戰做好準備。校長Ann不僅從教育者的角度解釋了IB對學生的好處，更從家長的角度解釋了IB的好處。

　　Ann分享了她的大女兒Gabrielle的成功故事，她是一個典型的IB畢業生，體現出多元豐富的經歷和她的遠見卓識。

　　IB curriculum prepares students for the opportunities and challenges of a very uncertain or complex future. Ms. Ann explained the benefits of IB for students not merely from the point of view as an educator, but even more significantly from the point of view as a parent.

　　She shared the success story of her eldest daughter Gabrielle, a typical IB graduate who reflects diverse experiences and perspectives.
