Personalised Learning: Breaking Through Limits

After joining FCG in Grade 9, Jack demonstrated exceptional academic ability. Under the guidance and encouragement of his teacher, Mr Xie, he began self-studying A-Level content and quickly mastered the P1 and P2 modules. This remarkable progress allowed him to skip a year and advance to Grade 11. Today, Jack consistently achieves A* grades in both Mathematics and Further Mathematics and has earned numerous awards in academic competitions, positioning him as a strong candidate for Oxford, Cambridge, and Ivy League universities. At FCG, stories of students surpassing expectations like Jack’s are not uncommon.

From Beginner to Rising Star in Competitions

When Jerry transferred to FCG from a local school, he had no prior experience with systematic competition training. However, through Mr Hu's CCA competition classes and the encouragement of his peers, he quickly honed his skills. With strong comprehension and dedicated effort, Jerry has earned recognition as a "rising star" in mathematics competitions.

An International Journey of Resilience

George, a student from Russia, previously attended a British secondary school but sought a more rigorous mathematics education at FCG. Initially, he struggled to adapt, and his grades fell below his expectations. However, through perseverance, regular support from his teacher, Mr Fang, and a commitment to revisiting each homework problem until he fully understood it, George steadily improved. With consistent effort, he raised his grades from D/E to a solid A*. His determination not only transformed his own academic performance but also inspired his peers to actively seek academic support and strive for excellence.

Flexible Pacing for Different Learning Rhythms  

The school provides flexible learning pathways at key stages to meet the diverse needs of students:

In Grade 11, students with a strong interest and aptitude in mathematics can take both Further Mathematics and standard Mathematics simultaneously, while others may follow a two-year pathway to complete their Mathematics course. In Grade 10, high-achieving students with exceptional learning efficiency can cover both IGCSE and AS-level content within the year, while others focus on building a solid IGCSE foundation to prepare for advanced studies.

Differentiated Classroom Teaching  

Differentiated instruction is seamlessly integrated into daily teaching. In Grade 9, Mr Fang provides both standard and advanced materials, encouraging students like Henry, Louis, Twinkle, and others to tackle higher-level tasks while revisiting foundational concepts as needed. At the same time, Ms Xiao sets personalised goals for her students—some complete the entire IGCSE syllabus in just half a year, while others take a full year to ensure a solid understanding. This approach allows every student to progress at a pace that best suits their individual learning needs.
