What Teachers Say About IB:
Faculty-Ms.Lynn He
IB program includes language, academic skills and some relatively basic professional courses which help students smooth transition from a local college to a Canadian college. Our teaching is fully integrated with overseas teaching, the key and difficult points are mainly taught in class while non-key content is left for students to study independently after class. In addition, the selction of teaching content emphasizes the combination of theory and practice, highlighting the application of knowledge, so that students can truly experience the close connection between the course content and the actual economic life, so as to generate a strong interest in learning, as far as possible to reduce the fear of learning in English.
Faculty- Ms.Julie Tung
Being a member of the International Business team definitely elevate my teaching professionalism. When I teach Principles of Marketing as well as International Marketing, I integrate my personal global experiences with the Canadian perspectives. Being involved in the Centennial programs provide me with the opportunities to interact with multi-cultural background students. I also get to learn from them. Another advantage is the fact that being able to work with the Canadian colleagues prompts my teaching to be more diverse. We regularly exchange teaching materials and ideas. It’s a fruitful experience.
Faculty- Ms.Helen Gan
With multiple-year teaching, I have always been surprised by pragmatic value of IB program. It helps students better understand life patterns, improve English skills, fully command basic business knowledge so that they can make appropriate decisions in a complex situation. In particular, Econ 302 this course provides the student with a broadly based introduction to Economics. It covers the basic microeconomic and macroeconomic tools that are necessary to analyze economic issues. It emphasizes an applied approach to learning basic economic principles. Current issues are used to illustrate the market system, various forms of business organizations, monetary and fiscal policies and international trade. I hope students can enjoy the course because academy can be interesting and fascinating.

2017 IB Leon
Studying in SCC in IB program for three years was phenomenal. Adapting to this full English teaching environment was a challenge for me at first, but as time passed, the teachers helped me with my studies and their good teaching experience made this challenge seem trivial. Not only that, but through these courses, I have become more clear about my professional interests and my views on life.
