Episode Synopsis "The British Curriculum & introducing Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong"

This episode will shed some light on the British Curriculum. If you’re still in the research phase, you might see it referred to online as the English National Curriculum or the UK curriculum. If your kids are in high school, this is the curriculum schools are using if they refer to GCSE exams and A-Levels for graduation. Our expert will explain what these mean and what their benefits are. We have sought some expert advice from Ben Keeling, who is the Principal at Shrewsbury International School here in Hong Kong. Shrewsbury is a British school with over 400 years of history teaching young English minds. So, we thought Ben was the perfect person to turn to when learning about this option.   Links https://expatliving.hk/ https://expatliving.hk/living-in-hong-kong-1/schools/ https://www.shrewsbury.edu.hk/ Shrewsbury offers a downloadable PDF about its curriculum which has a handy grid that will tell you which school year is correct for your child in the British system (worked out from their birthdate).
