How to choose a private high school suitable for studying in the United States?

In recent years, more and more parents and classmates have given great enthusiasm and concern to studying in American high schools. The American private education model is second to none in the world. The top universities in the world, such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton and MIT, are all private universities. To some extent, the quality of education in most American private schools is higher than that in public schools. How to choose a private high school suitable for students and parents studying in high schools in the United States? Is their biggest concern. First, choose public or private high schools? In the United States, middle school education is divided into urban education, suburban education and rural education. The quality of suburban education is the highest, because most rich people in the United States live in the suburbs, which is also the gathering place of most private high schools in the United States. Teacher Qian Fang said that for American students, when choosing a school, if there are good schools nearby, they should consider choosing a public school; if there are none nearby, they should consider choosing a private day school. If you don't have these two things, you will choose to send them to a private boarding school far away. For students in China, public high schools are generally less likely to study. American public colleges only accept exchange students, and the study period is only one academic year. This model does not meet the ultimate goal of many parents to send their children to study in the United States, so public schools generally do not consider the choice, and in order to let their children get better education quality and living environment, they choose American private high schools to attend high schools in the United States. Second, for most parents in China, when it comes to American high schools, the first thing that comes to mind may be boarding their children. In recent years, boarding schools in American private high schools have also visited China to recruit students. More parents and students have the opportunity to have face-to-face contact with American schools, while most parents can only get little information about colleges and universities from the Internet, so schools will raise the threshold for the sudden increase in the number of applicants. Therefore, for choosing a school, I suggest you try to consult an intermediary. Advantages of American boarding high schools: 1. Boarding high school teachers are strong, and academic guidance is reasonable and effective. Because most private boarding high schools in the United States are located in remote suburbs, teachers and students usually live together, so students will have more opportunities to communicate with teachers and get more timely care and guidance from teachers. 2. The curriculum of American private high schools is very diversified, and it pays more attention to expanding comprehensive ability. For students studying in the United States, American private schools are very attractive for cultivating students' ability to expand. American high schools generally have drama classes. Compared with public high schools, American private high schools have higher requirements and richer contents in learning some plays. In addition, boarding schools will require students to create scripts according to the scripts, which requires students to have a careful study of the original works, and even have unique opinions on the original works, so it plays a very important role in improving students' comprehensive ability, which is why American private high schools are favored by many famous schools. 3. Complete school facilities that can compete with American universities. In the United States, most private boarding schools have very complete and advanced sports facilities, including some large-scale events, such as squash, hockey and basketball. Experts studying abroad say that some American private boarding high schools even have rowing bases, standard swimming pools and equestrian teams. The luxury and strength of its sports facilities are self-evident. 4. American private boarding high schools have various extracurricular activities, which you can't imagine. Every American private boarding high school will have dozens or even hundreds of clubs, at least a dozen. These clubs include dance, troupe, yoga, rock climbing, golf and music clubs to improve personal temperament, as well as some museums and planetariums to cultivate scientific quality. 5. The rich library, information center resource pool and information center resources are incomparable. The book resources of private boarding high schools are very good, and the number of books is also very large. 6. Cultivate aristocratic temperament and learn to stand on your own feet. Because the overall quality of students entering private high schools is relatively high, the school will cultivate them into aristocrats, which will be more inclusive and cultivated under the overall influence. So, what are the advantages of choosing to attend American day high school: 1. In American private high schools, there are more good day schools than boarding schools. Experts remind parents that choosing such schools requires their children to have certain adaptability and be able to quickly integrate into the American lifestyle. 2. In addition, it must be mentioned that language ability training, day schools arrange host families for students, so students need to communicate with host families, gradually improve their English ability and adapt to American culture as soon as possible. 3. In addition, the time arrangement for students to choose a day school is also flexible. 4. The fee is more favorable. Compared with this item, parents may be more concerned about the safety of students' study and life during their stay in the United States. ) 5. avoid the trouble of students returning to China during holidays. In fact, we suggest that children can go home and reunite with their parents during the holidays. After all, they are young enough to study abroad, so it is necessary to communicate with their parents regularly. ) 3. Choosing a mixed school or a single school The main characteristics of American high school boys' schools are: 65,438+0. In American private high schools, most boys' schools will be boys, which will make students concentrate on their studies to a certain extent, so the overall education level of boys' schools will still be better than that of ordinary students, and the enrollment rate will be higher. 2, the simple relationship between men and women is simpler, and students get along more harmoniously. 3. In order to enrich students' life. The regular courses of the school are no different from those of the joint school, but the elective courses and extracurricular activities are more distinctive, such as score exploration and rock climbing. 4. Boys' schools pay more attention to cultivating students' leadership and speech ability, making students more attractive. Characteristics of American high school girls' schools: 1. Compared with boys' schools, most elective courses in girls' schools in American high schools cultivate women's characteristics, such as flower arrangement, pottery, makeup, literature and piano. 2. Women's extracurricular activities pay attention to the advantages and specialties of girls, and also pay attention to cultivating students' leadership and debating ability, and offer many leadership training, speeches and debating activities. 3. Like boys' schools, girls' schools pay more attention to their studies, and the enrollment rate is higher than that of mixed schools. Advantages and Disadvantages of Choosing a Missionary School Missionary schools are a huge group of private schools in the United States. Many private high schools in America are religious schools. Private religious schools in the United States teach the Bible and theology, but it is difficult for China students to learn these words, especially some historical allusions, myths and legends. Words can be spelled, but they don't understand the meaning. So this is a process of accumulation. After accumulating vocabulary, you will be more integrated into American culture. Moreover, because the Bible is irreplaceable in American culture, anyone who knows a little about the United States knows that the Bible culture is revealed in every gesture in the United States, which will be of great help to study and live in the United States in the future. Of course, even if students attend religious schools, they may not choose religious courses. It depends entirely on your own situation, because most schools in the United States have religious backgrounds, and the biggest source of funds for most private high schools is church support. These schools with religious backgrounds will have more favorable conditions. For the study of religious courses, we advocate appropriate contact with everyone. Besides being able to integrate you into American culture, the world outlook of being kind to others, being honest and friendly, and the education in philosophy, ethics, culture and historical facts taught by religious courses will also give us a different vision and foresight. 5. Why did you choose art high school or military school? Who is suitable? American high school art school: As the name implies, American art high school specializes in cultivating students with artistic expertise or talent, so art high school is very different from ordinary high school. First of all, in terms of enrollment requirements, art high schools will pay more attention to students' artistic literacy and level in addition to their grades and personality. So students need to bring their own works or show them on the spot. Secondly, in terms of teachers, art high schools are mostly masters or experts in the art field, who will lead students into the art hall and train them to become artists. Finally, in terms of curriculum, unlike China, American art students have high requirements for cultural courses, and art is only a part of all their studies, so they may also enter medical and legal institutions after graduation. American High School Military Academy: Most military academies in the United States are all-boys schools, but there are also mixed schools. Usually only students in grades 7- 12 are enrolled, and their training goal is clear-that is, to train students into excellent leaders. In terms of curriculum arrangement, in addition to regular courses, there are related military courses, including military theory courses, aerospace courses, aviation history, naval science, oceanography and so on. In addition, there will be some military training in military schools, but the intensity is not very great, which can be accepted by ordinary students. Some military academies only choose one day a week as a training day, so that students can have simple basic training. What is emphasized here is, what kind of students are suitable for military schools? Experts studying abroad say that military academies in American high schools have strict life management systems and some related military training. Therefore, it is suggested that students with introverted personality and weak constitution should consider whether they can withstand these physical training and the militarized management of the school. If they have a strong yearning for American military schools, parents and students should shoulder the task of training and self-improvement and be prepared to face challenges. Finally, I hope that those who are physically strong, strong-willed, excellent in judgment, excellent in self-care, know how to study easily under pressure, arrange their time reasonably, have good endurance and leadership skills, and have certain team spirit and cooperation ability, then choose a military school without hesitation!
