威雅公学2019夏校的商务课程以IGCSE与A Level商务课程为学术基础。IGCSE和A Level都是基于英语语言的考试在英国、欧盟国家、美国和英联邦国家被认可为等同于英国本土的考试。
威雅公学夏校的商务课程培养学生对公营及私营机构的商业活动、创新与变革之重要性的理解。通过课堂讲座、游戏和辩论，我们为学生们的思维增添重要的国际视角。例如，在基于一个以IGCSE课程案例“美国家得宝公司为何在中国失败了”（美国全国广播公司财经频道，2019年6月14日）为主题的会议中，我们对这些因素进行了深入的讨论。
在课程中，学生们了解到主要类型的商业组织是如何建立、注资并运行的，以及如何调控经营活动。同时我们也关注影响商业决策的因素，以及合作与依存的基本价值。为了说明这一点，我们在一个基于以A Level课程案例“不仅华为，特朗普的新科技行业订单可能会波及全球供应链”（《华盛顿邮报》2019年5月18日)为主题探讨了政府政策对商业的影响。
威雅公学商务课程坚信实地考察是有益的，因为实地考察能让学生看到他们所学的理论知识如何应用于现实世界。例如，我们的学生于7月17日参观了HHC工厂，8月21日他们还将访问常州硅密电子公司。最重要的是，实地考察不仅丰富了课程形式，也给学生们提供了在课堂之外学习的机会。
通过为期六周的夏校课程，学生不仅可以学习到商业概念和技巧，还提高了相关学科技能，如计算能力、考试技巧等。商业游戏、辩论和每周校内测试帮助学生们为迎接即将到来的新学年做好准备。
因此，威雅公学的商务课程不仅为学生在A level阶段的进一步学习提供了坚实的商务基础，并为他们未来进入职场做了理想的准备，更重要的是，它为每位学员提供了一个发挥其最大潜能的渠道。例如：
- E Gu（IGCS班第3组），第二周商业校内测试最高分，认为自己从夏校商业项目中学到了很多。
- D Sun（ICSE班第2组），第一与第二周商业校内测试最高分之一，最喜欢威雅公学夏校项目的商务课程。
- S Bao（A Level班），因为敏锐的观察力和高质量的问题受到了HHC集团的表扬，对方甚至直接为她提供了实习机会！
- BW Liu（IGCSE班第1组），在家人与商务老师Mr Rao的支持与见证下，他做出了一个充满感情的承诺，要通过加倍努力，尽自己最大的能力来提高学业。
商业教育是对年轻人未来的一项宝贵投资，正确的学习经历带来的价值将远远超过金钱的回报。选择威雅公学的商务课程是十分明智的决定！
WAIS Summer School 2019’s business curriculum is academically anchored in IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) & IAL (International Advanced Level) business syllabus. Both IGCSE & IAL are English language-based examinations similar to GCSE & AL and are recognized in the UK, EU, USA & Commonwealth countries as being equivalent to the GCSE for the purposes of recognizing prior attainment.
WAIS Summer School business curriculum develops attendees' understanding of business activity in the public and private sectors, and the importance of innovation and change. Classroom lectures, games and debates, we add a crucial international dimension to our attendees’ thinking. For instance, these factors were debated thoroughly during an IGCSE case-based session ‘Why Home Depot failed in China (CNBC, 14th Jun 2019)’.
Attendees learn how the major types of business organizations are established, financed and run, and how their activities are regulated. Factors influencing business decision-making are also considered, as are the essential values of cooperation and interdependence. To illustrate, how government polices affect business were explored in detailed during an IAL case-based session ‘It’s not just Huawei. Trump’s new tech sector order could ripple through global supply chains (The Washington Post, 18th May 2019).’
WAIS business curriculum staunchly supports the view that field trips are beneficial because trips allow attendees to see how what they are learning is applied in the real world. For example, our HHC Factory Visit on 17th July 2019 and our upcoming visit to CZ Silicon Electronics (常州硅密电子) on 21st August 2019. Vitally, field trips give our attendees an opportunity to learn outside the classroom, which also help keep the classroom routine from getting monotonous.
Through the intensive 6 weeks of summer school, WAIS business attendees not only learn about business concepts and techniques but also enhance related skills such as numeracy and examination techniques and requirements. In this regard, business games, debates and weekly business’ internal assessment are key components in preparing our summer school attendees for their upcoming academic year.
As such, WAIS Summer School’s business curriculum provides not just a firm business foundation for further study at A Level, undergraduate level, ideal preparation for the world of work, but more vitally, a supportive conduit for each attendee to maximize his/ her potentials. For instance:
- E. Gu (IGCSE Group 3), the top scorer for Week 2 Business Internal Assessment is of the view that he has learnt a lot from WAIS Summer School Business program.
- D. Sun (IGCSE Group 2), one of the top scorers for Week 1 & 2 Business Internal Assessment feels that WAIS Summer School Business program is one the very best in its league.
- S. Bao (IAL) was praised by the Chairman of HHC Corporation Ltd for her sharp observations and questions. S Bao was even offered an HHC internship directly by the Chairman!
- BW. Liu (IGCSE Group 1) in the presence of his supportive family members (Mother, Grandfather, two Uncles & younger brother) and his Business Teacher A. Rao, made an emotional pledge to improve himself academically by going the extra mile and giving nothing but his very best.
A business education is a valuable investment in a youth’s future. And, the right learning experience returns value in ways that go well beyond the monetary. Choose WAIS business curriculum today!
