What Kind of Student Should Study the DSE Curriculum?

The DSE is not for everyone. Here we list the traits of four types of students who suit the DSE curriculum, to help parents judge whether it fits their child.

1. Regular Senior Secondary Students Who Want Diverse Paths

Students who do not want to rely only on the single track of the gaokao and wish to keep Hong Kong, mainland and overseas options open.

2. Students Who Suit a Stable Assessment and Excel at Fundamentals and Application

The DSE stresses application and explanation, so it suits students with solid foundations, a willingness to progress step by step, and a habit of studying systematically.

3. Students Planning to Study in Hong Kong or Abroad

Students intending to apply to Hong Kong or overseas institutions, or whose families have ties to Hong Kong, can make use of the DSE's international recognition.

4. Students Who Want a Backup in Admission

Students who want to lay out several routes with a single set of results, gaining "double insurance" for their future.
