Is it safe for children to study in the United States?

Today, the phenomenon of younger students studying abroad is becoming increasingly obvious. Many parents hope to send their children to receive high school education abroad early so that they can more easily enter the world's top schools in the future. Right now, it is the admissions season for private high schools in the United States.

The difference between American high schools and Chinese high schools is mainly in the academic system. American high schools are usually four-year, from grades 9 to 12; while Chinese high schools are three-year. If converted into grades, It is from grades 9 to 11, and the general age of admission is around 14 years old. In other words, it is most suitable for 14-year-old children to apply directly for 9th grade in the United States after graduating from junior high school.

Many families have to consider financial issues when sending their children to study in high schools in the United States. Middle and high school students who want to study in the United States can only go to private schools. A few public schools accept foreign short-term exchange students. The cost of private schools is relatively high, with the total annual cost ranging from US$30,000 to US$50,000, which is difficult for ordinary working-class people to afford.

High schools in the United States are divided into public high schools and private high schools, but they are not divided into key and non-key points. They just have different characteristics. In particular, private high schools focus more on the cultivation of students' comprehensive abilities and the quality of their teaching. Much higher than public high schools, they emphasize excellent academic research and cultivate students' independent spirit of discovery.

To apply for study in an American high school, you must provide English test scores such as SLEP or TOEFL and SSAT. The most appropriate age to start preparing is 14 years old. If you can choose a good high school, it will be easier to enter the top 100 universities in the United States. This is also the dream of any Chinese student studying in the United States.

The three-year study life in junior high school has ended, and the life in high school has just begun. The pace of study is not fast, and the pressure of study is not great. Students of this age will have some difficulties while laying the foundation of cultural courses and learning the language. Lots of time and energy. The same is true for good high schools in the United States. The higher the test scores, the easier it is to apply. If you postpone the preparation time to the second year of high school, time will be tight; generally, to apply to a well-known American high school, the accuracy of SSAT scores must reach more than 70%, and the TOEFL score must reach about 89-90 points. If you apply directly to universities, the requirements will be higher, and it will be more difficult to apply to the top universities in the United States that you like.
