How to choose a Canadian study abroad school in primary and secondary schools?

As the threshold for studying abroad is getting lower and lower, the younger age of international students is becoming more and more obvious. More parents want their children to study abroad as soon as possible. Let children receive better education as soon as possible and form a more open mind, instead of becoming "good students" who can only learn under exam-oriented education and spoon-feeding teaching methods.

So what grade is better for children to go out? We all look at rankings and advantages in college, so what should we look at when we get out of middle school? What kind of school is suitable for our own children? Does applying for middle school mean "you can apply by filling out a form"? And what is the actual situation? Next, Xue Mei shared the dry goods guidance that Jim Gillett, a Canadian teacher named Cai Timin, brought to you.

Why does my child want to study abroad? Do they want to go to Canada? Why Canada?

1. Education quality: In Newsweek's evaluation of 100 countries around the world, Canada ranks first in the world in terms of education quality (always second, Finland first, and the top few are Switzerland and Sweden). The quality of secondary education in Canada is good, and both public and private secondary schools can accept international students. As for China, it ranks 60th-70th among 100 countries. Of course, this ranking cannot completely deny the education in China. After all, there are still many famous schools in our country.

2. Cost: The annual living expenses for studying abroad in public middle schools in Canada1.2-200,000 (including tuition1.1.6 million Canadian dollars, equivalent to RMB 60,000-90,000), which is half of the expenses for studying abroad in similar schools in many developed countries. This price is actually similar to the cost of international schools such as China-Canada School and Maple Leaf School in China. Since you want your children to be fluent in English, receive international education and spend the same money, of course, studying abroad is more authentic!

3. Security: Canada is the second largest country in the world, with a population of only 37 million and a small gap between the rich and the poor. In addition, 97% of Canada is immigrants and descendants, and there is little racial and color discrimination. International students can grow up in a safe environment and receive first-class education. Canada is also a country with very strict gun control, which is completely different from the neighboring United States. Canada has never advocated force, and it can even be described as "modesty". Moreover, it not only prohibits conventional drugs and marijuana, but you may even find it inconvenient to buy cigarettes in Canada, unlike in China, where you can buy cigarettes in any convenience store. Moreover, most buildings in Canada are mainly wood structures, so the intensity of smoking ban is also great. So children can enjoy campus life more intently and avoid the influence of bad breath.

4. Good work and immigration policy: Many parents send their children to Canada to attend middle schools, also in order to enter a good university and have the opportunity to work and immigrate after graduation. Canada has a good immigration policy, which is unmatched by other European, American and Commonwealth countries. For example, you can apply for an unconditional work visa for three years after graduating from college (that is, you don't need a guarantee), and you can apply for an experienced immigrant after accumulating one year of work experience. At the same time, each province also has its own immigration policy. Some provinces (such as 20 17 new immigration policy for four maritime provinces) can apply for immigration as long as they have a work acceptance letter, and there is no need to accumulate work experience.

So, why does my child want to study in Canada? This question can actually be answered. It is cost-effective! First-class education level, first-class living environment. First-class immigration benefits. Half the cost price.

What are the good middle schools in Canada? What are their advantages?

There are thousands of public and private secondary schools in Canada. Public schools are dominated by the Education Bureau, which is nearby. We can understand it as "school district room". Private schools are divided into private international middle schools, private church elite middle schools and aristocratic middle schools.

What are the admission criteria for schools in Canada?

First of all, all schools need to adopt the "application system". It's not how many points you scored in the exam or how many points you scored in IELTS, but you can only apply if you reach this level. You crossed the line, and you can't guarantee admission, but all the students admitted by the school are above the line.

So what is the school line? What is the PK of students above the online level?

This involves "hard wire" and "soft wire".

Strict boundaries

Just look at the hard line. It is nothing more than the usual results of the first three years. Add language to some schools, interview to some schools, and recommend letters to some schools. I don't see any clues. It's simple. But this is not enough!

No more than 10% of international students in public education bureaus. What does this sentence mean? Public schools with more than/kloc-0.000 students are relatively large in Canada. The number of international students is less than 100. Among them are students from Japan, South Korea, Brazil, India and some European countries, collectively referred to as international students. There are 50-60 places in China, and then they are divided into different grades. Chinese mainland enrolls students every year, and the best schools are probably 10 students. Smaller schools have fewer students than 10. And elite middle schools, aristocratic middle schools, were originally schools with 3-500 people. The class is very small, about 10 students. Last year, there were only seven students in the mainland enrollment interview of a noble middle school. Who do you want? Who don't want? Look at that rope!

1. For the application time

Regardless of whether you apply for a Canadian public high school or an aristocratic school, you usually submit your application one year before you enter school. Among all the admission conditions, this one is hidden, but it is very important! Because the quota is limited, first come, first served is especially important! Teacher Jin Jilie and teacher Cai Timin suggested that academic schools generally open their applications for admission in September of the following year. And those semester schools, especially the public education bureau. It is also because of the quota problem. It is best to apply one year in advance, so that you can queue up under your favorite education bureau and favorite school. Instead of being arranged by the Education Bureau to other schools of the Education Bureau. The application is in September, and the preparation is usually in June-July. In this way, when the school starts to apply in September, the materials will be complete, so it is not necessary to prepare in the peak period in September. Some schools will arrange interviews or video interviews at the end of June 65438+ 10 65438+June 65438+ 10. The applicant who applied in September has an advantage over the applicant who applied in June, 65438+ 10. And the school will send a notice early after the new year. It is more conducive to getting a visa as soon as possible. The processing cycle of study visa in Canada is an elastic interval. Usually between 4-8 weeks. After the visa is passed, you can buy a plane ticket as soon as possible. Determine the landing date and pick-up information.

2. For reward items

More and more schools need to submit letters of recommendation from children's teachers. Even in public schools. The picture below is one of the letters of recommendation written by the teacher who applied for public school children this year. The target school is more and more dissatisfied with just looking at your report card, but what kind of child are you and where can your Excellence be reflected? Have you ever participated in a team project? Sports, art, science and competition? What does your teacher think of you? How confident, polite and logical are you when you have an interview?

Reaching the "hard line" and grasping the "soft line" can really make the application successful. But we should also pay attention to avoid many "pits" in the process of studying abroad!
