What are the advantages of studying in American high schools?

Advantages of studying in the United States in high school

1. Good language environment:

The younger the child, the stronger the ability to learn a language. After two or three years of high school education, the English level can generally reach the level of domestic English department graduates, and their practical communication ability will be stronger. In addition, the ESL language courses set by American high schools are arranged directly by high schools, and there is no language preparatory school. For international students, there is one less threshold for language schools to enter high schools.

2. All-round quality education:

American colleges and universities attach great importance to the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality, and generally adopt the course selection system, which can enable students to face their interests and hobbies earlier, and choose courses according to the major and future career direction of the university they want to study in, thus greatly mobilizing their enthusiasm for learning, and it is easier to get high marks and enter famous universities for further study. Elective courses in the school are very rich, such as vocal music, instrumental music and sports courses, which enable students to develop in an all-round way and give full play to their potential.

ways to study in the United States in senior high school

1. Direct admission to undergraduate courses

Students can take TOEFL or IELTS in the second year to the third year of senior high school. Students with good conditions can take the SAT again, and they can obtain qualified TOEFL or IELTS scores in the last semester of senior high school, and they can directly apply for undergraduate courses in American universities. Generally speaking, IELTS 6., TOEFL 8, and the average score of high school for three years is above 8. If you want to apply for the top 5 prestigious schools, you need to have an IELTS score of 6.5 or above, a TOEFL score of 9 or above, and a three-year average score of 9 in high school.

It is understood that, generally speaking, September-December is the best time to apply for American universities, and the application results will come out from January to March of the following year. However, this scheme requires high quality of students. Students should not only have a high level of English, but also have strong independence.

Second, you can apply for double admission if you have no language scores

"Double admission" is also called "conditional admission", which is mainly aimed at students who have no language scores or whose language scores are temporarily weak. The school will issue two admission notices: conditional admission to the language center of the school and the undergraduate course of the school. After entering the school, students will first enter the language center to study English. After passing the language test, they will directly enter the undergraduate study without applying separately. The dual admission program in American universities not only ensures that every eligible applicant can get a learning opportunity, but also ensures that the normal teaching of the school will not be delayed because students can't understand the course.

Students begin to apply in the next semester of senior three, and go to "ESL+ University" in the United States after graduating from high school. It can be divided into two situations: first, to apply for both university courses and ESL admission, first finish ESL courses in the language center of the university, and then enter the university directly. Second, first go to the United States to finish ESL in an independent language center, then take TOEFL and SAT, and then apply for a university.

If you only get the I-2 of the language center without the conditional admission letter issued by the school audit committee, it is called "single admission to the language center" instead of "double admission", and the hope of applying for a visa is very slim. Therefore, when students apply for "conditional admission", they must know in advance, otherwise they will be easily deceived into going to a language school, which will hinder their application for undergraduate courses in the future.

Conditions for studying in American high schools

Conditions 1. You can apply for an admission notice before you can enter school after graduating from high school, with a high school transcript and proof of studying in senior three.

Condition 2. Sufficient expenses

There are many universities in the United States, with different universities and different majors charging different fees, and the living expenses vary according to different regions. The average state university spends about 15,-2, a year.

Condition 3, excellent psychological quality

Studying abroad alone will inevitably face various difficulties and challenges, and students who go to the United States for undergraduate studies must learn to face them independently. Students themselves and their parents should consciously exercise this ability.

Condition 4, certain learning ability

Because there are great differences between Chinese and western teaching and examinations, students who go to the United States for undergraduate studies must adapt to the characteristics of western university education, especially the participation in discussion. In China, a student may be introverted and silent in class, but as long as she or he gets high marks in the exam, he or she can be regarded as an excellent student. However, in foreign classrooms, many courses require students to participate in the discussion, otherwise they may be asked by the teacher to quit the class or fail the exam. In addition, the course study in American universities is also challenging. If you don't study hard, don't expect to get high marks, or even pass the exam. But this is also the advantage of American university education. Even the children of political celebrities, cultural stars and well-known entrepreneurs pay attention to getting good academic results, and the school's style of study is very good. In such an environment, you can't even study.
