What is the difference between international schools?

Question 1: Is there any difference between an international class and an international school? Which is better? In recent years, the upsurge of studying abroad has been higher and higher. Accompanied by it, there are various institutions for studying abroad, private international schools and international classes focusing on training international students. Now, driven by the upsurge of studying abroad, many public schools are scrambling to set up "overseas classes" and launch various Sino-foreign cooperative courses to meet the students' needs for studying abroad. So, what is the difference between international classes in public schools and international schools?

First, the emphasis is different.

We know that for these public key middle schools, the center of school work is still the college entrance examination. In this case, it is impossible for the school to let go of the enrollment rate. In other words, these schools focus on cultivating "ordinary" students, rather than students going abroad. For those private international schools, their students are all going to study abroad. The focus of the school's work is to cultivate students' comprehensive quality, so that they can have all kinds of abilities required by foreign universities and go abroad smoothly.

Second, the learning environment is different.

Students who go abroad in public schools are actually a "minority" in schools, because most students in schools are going to take the college entrance examination, and they are just a special group in schools. In international schools, there will be no such problems. Every child in an international school has a strong desire to go abroad. In other words, parents and students there are very purposeful. Studying and growing together with a group of like-minded students is very precious to the development of children.

Third, teachers are different.

Teachers in international classes are basically teachers under the domestic education system, and most of them value grades and enrollment rates. Only a few people will consider going abroad, while teachers in international schools give priority to teaching abroad. They pay more attention to children's all-round development and are familiar with foreign courses, so as to really help students and make them less trouble on the way to study abroad.

Fourth, the curriculum is different.

International class is a mode of adding international courses to the classroom while studying domestic courses. It needs to take care of two courses, which is quite stressful. Applying to a foreign university is not particularly guaranteed. International schools, on the other hand, study foreign courses directly, with little pressure, which really releases children's nature and allows them to learn what they are interested in and like. Applying for a university is guaranteed, and you can apply for a university higher than the domestic one with excellent grades.

That's basically it. . . .

Question 2: What's the difference between international schools and domestic schools? Nowadays, more and more parents are keen to send their children to international schools in order to get a foothold in famous foreign schools.

First: the charge is high.

Take Shanghai as an example, several famous international schools: Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai Gaomei School, Shanghai King International High School and Shanghai Maple Leaf International School all charge more than100000. And you must hold a foreign identity (such as green card, nationality) to enter school. If you are not born with an identity, then the cost of immigration should also be taken into account.

International schools are really different from ordinary schools!

Second: the language problem.

In the international schools that have made achievements, the system of all-English education is very mature. Liberal arts include English, Chinese, history and geography, while science includes mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. These subjects are all spoken in English except Chinese, and non-native speakers need a period of adaptation. The adaptation period depends on the child's personal English level. If you send your child to an international school when he is young, you can immerse him in an all-English environment early, but you should also be careful not to make him feel inferior because of language problems or make it difficult for him to understand knowledge in class. If the child is older (such as graduating from junior high school), it may take a long adaptation period to send the child to an international school. Because all the nine years of education I received before were completed in a local school (if I had not studied in an international school before), even if I passed the 1.48 senior high school entrance examination, it is easy to be at a loss when I first entered the English learning environment. Liberal arts programs taught in English require a lot of reading and writing, and interaction with foreign teachers in class also requires a high level of oral English. In terms of teachers, most of the teachers who teach liberal arts are foreign teachers, mostly from English-speaking countries such as the United States, Britain and Canada. Teachers who teach science are basically China teachers who are fluent in English, and there are few foreign teachers. ) When domestic children are exposed to foreign subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry for the first time, they will find that math problems that are more difficult than foreign senior high school entrance examinations are much simpler in calculation. However, these subjects also need to memorize a large number of professional vocabulary, and it is not so easy to adapt to non-native classroom and exams.

Third: learning environment

Studying in a local school, even if there are thirty or forty students in a class, the teacher is very serious about the students, and it is common to copy homework ten times without paying a fine. However, in international schools and future university education, students are always chasing teachers to ask questions and hand in their homework, rather than teachers urging students to hand in their homework. Generally, homework is not handed in, and foreign teachers may remind you again. If you don't hand it in, you will fail the homework directly. Some students may have forgotten to hand in their homework because they were used to studying in local schools and came to international schools to relax, resulting in low grades at ordinary times. If you are a child, you can adapt from scratch. Teachers in the lower grades of primary school are more tolerant of these things and will gradually cultivate the habit of handing in homework on time without reminding. But senior students must keep up with the teacher's progress and always pay attention to the time of each deadline, otherwise it would be a pity to lower their usual grades. Studying in international schools and foreign universities requires not only lectures and homework exams, but also large and small projects. Every subject will have such a topic, and students will either complete it independently or form a group to complete it with team members. Set a theme, look up information, write a paper, give a speech, etc. Are done independently or brainstorm with team members. Division of labor and cooperation with team members is also a point that students should pay attention to. At this point, I think the child's experience of doing projects in international schools will make him better adapt to his future college career. Many freshmen who go out from local high schools in China are at a loss when facing the first project. But those who go out from international high schools basically know what to do and what the process is, so that they can adapt better.

Fourth: interpersonal communication

International high schools, as the name implies, are high schools with students from all over the world. The phenomenon of holding groups is inevitable in all small circles. Generally, Japanese people hold groups, Koreans hold groups, people from Taiwan Province Province hold groups, ABCCBC hold groups, and China people with foreign status who are born and raised in China hold groups. There are still some things I don't know. In such an environment, if children enter school in the lower grades of primary school, the gap may not be so serious, children will play more openly and have a better effect on language training. But when children are older (grade 8-12), it is easy to lose friends or stay in their own small circle ... >>

Question 3: What's the difference between a bilingual school and an international school? International schools do not take the college entrance examination, but they can directly enter famous foreign schools by studying international courses. Bilingual schools offer courses to take part in the national college entrance examination, but pay more attention to the cultivation of English ability than ordinary schools, so they can not only enter domestic universities, but also have advantages over ordinary schools in applying for famous foreign universities.

Question 4: What's the difference between an international school and an ordinary school? This is the difference between general education and modern education. General education focuses on examination, while modern education integrates Chinese and western teaching systems and takes children's interests as the starting point. You can go to the middle school attached to CUHK for details.

Question 5: What's the difference between international schools and public schools? International schools: Teaching is conducted in small classes, mostly with 20 to 30 students. If conditions permit, an international school like Limai Sino-American (International) School has as few as 20 students. The teaching of the course is mostly round table, and the teachers' teaching is equal. The energy is evenly distributed to every student in the class, so that they can feel the attention from the teachers. Another advantage of this round-table teaching is that it is convenient for students to form group discussions and interactions. Limai Sino-American (International) School has arranged a lot of time for group discussion in curriculum design. Group discussion and interaction are very important for cultivating students' thinking ability, communication ability, self-study ability and innovative spirit.

China public schools: large classes. Although the State Education Commission expressly stipulates that the class size should not exceed 45, the class size of urban schools often exceeds 60 due to the imbalance of educational resources between urban and rural areas and farmers working in cities. Teachers' classes are mostly lecture-style. The teacher is talking in Taiwan Province, and the students are listening in the audience. Even if there is interaction, it is a mechanical question and answer. The layout of the classroom also uses straight seats, which is inconvenient for students to participate in classroom communication and interaction.

Question 6: What's the difference between an international school and an international class? There are three kinds when we enter the school, formal registration, three restrictions (only for international students) and international. In the first year of senior high school, some students from the International Department were assigned to form a class of the International Department, and other students with martial arts status were scattered in all classes except 1 class (science experimental class). In the placement test for senior high school students, international students (class 20 10) with a total score below 440 will form a new international class and spend the remaining two years. In other words, it doesn't matter if senior one is in an international class, as long as he is admitted to a placement class and goes to an ordinary class. Let's not talk about other aspects, because the grades and style of study of the international class (our class 5) in senior two and senior three are really poor, and there may be one or two mistakes in it, and the others are off the assembly line. As a matter of fact, Zhong Ying in Wuwai has nothing to do with other schools, but rented the space on the sixth floor of our teaching building. Our teacher said not to be in charge of English-Chinese. They go to school at 9 o'clock, or finish school at 3 or 4 o'clock. Teachers are mainly foreigners, and there are some teachers in China. The teaching materials and class mode are exactly the same as those of British high schools. There are no Cambridge classes, but there are Chinese and Australian classes, which belong to foreign schools. They are somewhat similar to English and Chinese, but different from our textbooks. Britain, China and Australia can go above as long as they have money, because that qualification exam is really eye-opening. But the final result depends on the individual. Although this situation is very common in Britain, China and Australia (you think most of them are brought in with money from home), some serious people work hard. A friend of mine transferred to English as a sophomore, and his schedule is exactly the same as ours. He didn't play with other students in England and China, and finally he went to the graduate school in Oxford.

Question 7: What's the difference between the educational purposes of international schools and public schools? Li Mai's Chinese aesthetics: the education of international schools is oriented to cultivate students' practical ability, reading ability and creative ability. In practical teaching, teachers play a guiding role, telling students that learning is their own business, and letting students think for themselves and what they want to learn. In this way, students will become active, flexible and happy.

The education of public schools in China focuses on laying a foundation for students, accumulating and instilling knowledge for students, and cultivating students' inheritance and respect for knowledge. In actual teaching, teachers play a leading role in making detailed and complicated rules for students in advance, such as what to learn, how much to learn, when to learn, how to learn, etc. In this way, for a long time, students in China were passive in their studies and used to coping. They think that learning is a matter for parents and teachers, and they don't pay attention to the cultivation of students' creativity and thinking ability.

Question 8: What are the differences between international schools in Singapore? Singapore has a world-class education system, in which a considerable number of high-quality international schools and world-renowned international schools are important components of the new campus. As we all know, many diplomatic envoys in Singapore or representatives of large multinational companies have chosen Singapore International School for their children, and there are also many well-known parents of domestic stars, such as Cecilia Cheung and Jet Li! Why does everyone choose Singapore International School?

First, as an important educational city in Asia, Singapore has a superior educational environment and is the best springboard for Asian students to enter famous universities in Europe and America. Secondly, it benefits from the advantages of Singapore international schools-both hard conditions and soft power are in the forefront. In addition, the diplomas of these international schools are also internationally recognized. Singapore International School is the best choice for students who plan to enter famous universities in Britain, America and Australia in the future. It is precisely because of these that Singapore International School has won the favor of many parents!

1. The school has good facilities and strong teachers.

Most international schools in Singapore have invested heavily in educational resources. First of all, under difficult conditions, international schools have good facilities, such as Stanford American International School, which not only covers an area of 53,000 square meters, but also prepares a performance theater, swimming pool, indoor gymnasium, gym, dance studio and golf center with computer analysis function for students. These facilities create conditions for the development of students' comprehensive quality. Secondly, in terms of teachers, international schools not only have excellent teachers who have passed the assessment, but also use new technologies to enable students to communicate and interact with professors and lecturers all over the world. All these conditions make international schools the best choice for many parents.

2. Have the right of self-enrollment, and the enrollment difficulty is low.

Unlike public schools, which are restricted by the Ministry of Education, international schools have the right to enroll students independently, so their degrees are less restricted. Generally speaking, if the materials are well prepared, there is no problem with the degree. In addition, there is no time limit for admission to international schools. Senior students only need to take the entrance examination, which is usually relatively simple. Then the school will evaluate the grade you can enter, and you can join the class at any time.

3. Rich courses and extracurricular activities.

Because most international schools provide one-stop teaching services from kindergarten to high school, international schools offer courses with different degrees and different focuses for students of different ages to maximize the potential of students in many fields. In addition, there are various extracurricular activities in international schools, such as clubs and societies, such as music, art, drama, basketball, football, basketball, badminton, volleyball, running and other extracurricular activities, as well as photography and movies. These extracurricular activities can not only promote the development of students' comprehensive quality, but also be an indispensable condition for applying for overseas famous schools.

4. Pay attention to cultivating students' international vision.

International schools usually focus on cultivating students' international vision, especially Singapore, an international country. First of all, students in international schools are more diverse. For example, the student groups of NEXUS come from Britain, the United States, South Korea, China, Australia, Japan, India and European countries, creating an international learning environment for students. In addition, the teacher's arrangement is also the same. Most teachers come from all over the world, and students can communicate with famous teachers from all over the world. I believe these are of great benefit to cultivating students' international vision.

5. Diplomas are recognized and the pass rate is high.

Many parents who are hesitant about international schools are worried about the recognition of their teaching and diplomas. In fact, parents can rest assured that Singapore's education system is in line with the world, and diplomas and degrees are internationally recognized. In Singapore, most of the diplomas of international schools are globally recognized, such as IB, IGCSE, ALLEVEL, etc., and the passing rate of IB diplomas in Singapore is much higher than the global average, so students don't have to worry too much about applying for universities in the future.

Question 9: What's the difference between an international school and an ordinary school? How to choose an international school that focuses on cultivating comprehensive quality talents and integrates the essence of Chinese and western education, so that children can better adapt to social development and challenges, and talents can experience different meanings and values? This is the way to study abroad. Meihua International High School affiliated to Yunnan Normal University has turned some students into first-class universities abroad.

The education received by ordinary schools is exam-oriented education stipulated by the state, which may have some development restrictions and is unilateral.

Question 10: What are the general advantages of international schools? How good it is for the growth of children. The advantage of international schools lies in changing the traditional educational model and paying attention to cultivating students' comprehensive quality. Secondly, you can apply for studying abroad. Besides, there is a strong faculty here. I recommended it to you.
