Open Days
On the evening of Thursday 7 September, an engaging and informative session took place at BISS Puxi, with the participation of more than 60 enthusiastic attendees. This session was specifically tailored to our IBDP Korean students and their parents, providing valuable insights into the intricate landscape of Korean university admissions.
Our Korean parents and students received a warm welcome from our Head of Secondary, Mr Andrew Joy. Additionally, the Head of IB, Dr Alex Cattell, and the Head of Higher Education Guidance, Mr Alex Olya, were present to support this special evening.
During the session, Jessie Lee, our dedicated Korean Higher Education Advisor, delved deep into the eligibility criteria for both the 3-year and 12-year special entrance tracks, leaving no detail unexplored. She also shed light on the multifaceted admission assessment processes, which encompass 'document-based', 'test-based', 'interview-based' and hybrid approaches that combine these elements. It was an enlightening presentation.
Furthermore, she emphasised the fundamental qualities that Korean universities seek in prospective students, highlighting the significance of 'academic competence', 'career competence' and 'community competence'.
This event served as an exceptional opportunity not only to educate both parents and students but also to foster open communication. It ignited meaningful conversations about university choices and career paths, promoting a stronger connection among students, parents and the school.
BISS Puxi extends its best wishes for success in your Korean university admissions journey!

세컨더리 교장선생님인 Andrew FrancisJoy 선생님의 한국어 인사로 시작된 이날 행사에는 Head of IB인 Dr. Alex Cattell과 진학카운셀러 주임인 Alex Olya선생님도 함께 했습니다.
본 행사에서 한국 입시 담당 카운셀러인 제시 리 선생님이 3년특례와 12년 특례의 자격조건과, ‘서류 전형’,’지필 전형’ 그리고 ‘면접 전형’을 포함한 대입 전형에 대해 상세히 소개하였습니다. 또한 대학에서 학생 선발 시 평가하는 ‘학업 역량’ ,’진로 역량’, ‘공동체 역량’이 비스푸시의 IB 디플로마 커리큘럼을 이수하는 학생들에게 어떻게 적용되는지도 설명하였습니다.
이번 행사로 한국입시에 대한 이해도를 높이고 잘 준비할 수 있는 초석을 마련하고, 한국 학생에 대한 학교의 전폭적인 지지도 확인하였습니다. 또한 그동안 학생과 학부모에게 별도로 진행되던 입시안내 세션을 함께 진행함으로써, 진학 진로에 대해 서로 이야기할 수 있는 좋은 기회를 제공하였습니다.
비스푸시가 여러분의 한국 대학입시를 응원하고 함께합니다!
