The Mastery Stage is a four-year stage. With rigorous training leading to this stage, students are expected to show ability to consolidate and integrate what they have learned and make preparations for competitive university entrance examinations. In these four years, students will fulfil the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBD) requirements and prepare to participate in the IBD examination as well as the future new matriculation examination in Hong Kong. Students with outstanding results in these examinations will enter overseas and local universities of their choice. The IBD has a common curriculum for all and is held in high esteem throughout the world.
