说到GAC课程的后置考试ACT（American College Testing），这是一项全球广泛认可的标准化考试，比肩SAT考试。两者同作为美国高考，旨在评估学生的学术能力和综合素质。自今年九月开始，ACT考试内容将主要包括英语、数学和阅读，并辅以科学和写作两科供学生选考。

The ACT (American College Testing), the final assessment for the GAC (Global Assessment Certificate) program, is a globally recognized standardized test, comparable to the SAT. Both the ACT and SAT serve as major college entrance exams in the United States, designed to assess students’ academic strengths and overall competencies. Beginning in September 2025, the ACT will focus on three core subjects: English, Mathematics, and Reading, with optional sections in Science and Writing for students to choose based on their interests and goals. 

ACT考试在全球范围内受到广泛认可，尤其是美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、英国等国家的众多知名大学均接受ACT成绩作为入学依据。特别是随着新冠疫情的逐渐远离，越来越多的许多美国名校已经恢复了对标准化考试成绩的要求，比如哈佛大学、耶鲁大学、斯坦福大学、布朗大学、达特茅斯学院、麻省理工学院、卡内基梅隆大学、约翰霍普金斯大学等。这些学校认为，标化成绩可以帮助招生委员会更好地评估申请者的学术能力和潜力。

The ACT is widely recognized around the world, with many prestigious universities in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other countries accepting ACT scores as part of their admissions criteria. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wane, a growing number of top U.S. universities have reinstated standardized testing requirements. These include Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, Brown University, Dartmouth College, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Carnegie Mellon University, and Johns Hopkins University. These institutions believe that standardized test scores provide valuable insights into applicants’ academic abilities and potential, helping admissions committees make more informed decisions.

高中生的语言护航

"Language Support" for High School Students

GAC课程采用Level 1-3阶梯设计，从基础语法与词汇训练到高阶学术论文写作，系统性地提升学生的英语听、说、读、写能力。课程内置ACT考试模块，使学生在真实学术情境中自然提升语言能力，避免“为考而学”的割裂感，从而帮助学生突破语言障碍，无缝衔接海外大学课堂。

The GAC program follows a three-level progressive structure, systematically developing students’ English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills — from foundational grammar and vocabulary to advanced academic writing. Integrated ACT modules expose students to authentic academic settings, allowing them to build language skills naturally rather than studying solely for exams. This helps students overcome language barriers and transition smoothly into international university classrooms.
