1. Fully understand the school.
Usually, you want to know about a school through official website, the official WeChat account of the school, the phone number of the admissions office, the school presentation, etc. In the era of developed network, it is easy to query the information of a school.
When understanding international schools, we need to start from different angles, such as teachers, campus environment, curriculum, further education and so on. Students who need to live on campus also need to know about the accommodation environment and canteen of the school. It is worth noting that we must be vigilant when inquiring about school information and distinguish false information.
2. Test the current level
Before choosing a school, you should have a certain understanding of your child's English level. Only by mastering the actual level of children can we choose a suitable school. After registration, most international schools need to take a written entrance examination and interview to examine students' learning level and personal ability. Many test questions appear in English.
Therefore, the test before choosing a school is very important. You can judge which stage your child is in according to his current level, so as to improve it in a targeted way in combination with the target colleges. In addition, preparing in advance can also make children less laborious and more motivated to learn after entering school.
draw up a plan
Another important preparation before choosing a school is to plan ahead. This plan includes not only high schools, but also universities. The intentional country that wants to study abroad in the future directly affects which type of international school children should go to.
What kind of courses should I study: A-level, AP or IB? For example, if you want to study in Britain in the future and your children are good at science, then an international school offering A-level courses is the first choice.
It is necessary to make plans according to children's current English level, prepare for exams and conduct scientific language training according to children's weaknesses and schools they want to attend.
adjust one's mindset
Many children will feel great pressure before going to an international school, especially some students who have never been exposed to international education, and there will inevitably be a gap in their hearts. This requires parents to do psychological counseling in time, so that children can adjust their state as much as possible, understand the educational methods and learning environment of international schools in advance, and adapt as soon as possible.
More importantly, adjusting the mentality can make children play a stable role in the senior high school entrance examination, avoid playing abnormally, and even miss their favorite schools.
