(六)Through Train to University 涵接大學路
GIA offers an accredited USA high school diploma to students globally. The diploma they receive is academically equivalent to graduating from a high school in the USA.
There are two ways the GIA High School Diploma can be structured. The Full High School program admits all students at grade 9, giving them 4 years of High school, as done in the USA. The “Top-Up” program starts at grade 10 for academically qualified students, and they finish all graduation requirements within 3 years.
Currently, 60% of graduates go on to attend top 50 universities, and between 2013 and 2016 they recorded a 100% university completion rate.
