18 is it suitable for studying in the United States?

In the American concept, 18-year-old children have the ability to live independently, so is it suitable for domestic students aged 18 to study in the United States? Let me answer questions about children's shoes with such confusion in the United States:

Is there an age limit for attending high school in America?

China's high school education system is very different from that of the United States, so you should pay attention to the age requirement when you go to the United States to attend high school, and don't miss the opportunity to go abroad because of the age limit of attending high school in the United States.

American junior high school: grades 7-8 (13- 14 years old); Senior high school: grade 9-12 (15- 18 years old); Generally speaking, students who apply for American high schools can apply for corresponding American courses or courses at the next higher level, so domestic junior two students can apply for American high school courses, that is, American ninth grade courses. Domestic junior high school students can apply for the ninth grade course or 10 grade course in the United States, and senior high school students can apply for 10 grade course or1/grade course; For sophomores, in order to successfully pass American exams and apply for excellent universities, students are generally advised to choose 1 1 grade courses. In addition, from the perspective of ensuring the application and visa, the age of students applying for high school courses is best not to exceed 18.

Which 18-year-old children are suitable for studying in the United States?

The United States belongs to an immigrant country, and the cultures of various places are the products of multi-integration. More and more parents choose to let their children join the army of studying in the United States from an early age and go to high school in the United States. Here, children can see different worlds. It is the capital of international economy, finance, art and media, and also the cultural and entertainment center of the western hemisphere. Experiencing and discovering a different life here will broaden children's horizons and improve themselves. So is it suitable for any young student from China to go to the United States to attend high school?

Q: The competition for studying abroad at a younger age is becoming more and more fierce. Teacher, do you agree to send your children to high school in America? According to your experience, what kind of students have the intention to go to high school in the United States?

Teacher: I am in favor of students studying abroad at a young age. Generally speaking, parents think that their children go to high schools in China and die as soon as they step into the door of high schools in China. They have no chance to accept anything new and can't develop their hobbies. But they go to the United States to attend high school, and the education in the United States is better and more humane. Students can participate in the school's rich social activities and develop their personality, which is more conducive to entering American universities in the future and has an advantage in applying for American universities. In addition, some students study in mainstream places such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Canada, etc., but they don't have the college entrance examination qualifications in these places, so they need to go back to their own country for college entrance examination, and they don't have an advantage in further studies, so these students are also happy to go to the United States to attend high school.

It is worth mentioning that many students are now actively participating in American summer courses, and in the process of experiencing American summer courses, they all fall in love with American high school life. Participating in the training of American summer courses will be more conducive to the application of American high schools. Summer courses in the United States usually last about five weeks, which is conducive to the improvement of students' English level. Students can adapt to American school life in advance and participate in extracurricular activities such as teacher-student interaction. In the summer course, if you get along well with the school teachers, American teachers will also write letters of recommendation to students, which is undoubtedly a good booster for the application of American high schools.

Q: What are the general requirements for students in American high schools? What are the requirements for the family's financial ability?

Teacher: Different American high schools have different requirements for students' grades. If you want to go to a top high school, you must take TOEFL and SSAT first. Ivy League American high schools generally require a TOEFL score of 65,438+000, and top private high schools also require a TOEFL score of at least 85. Generally speaking, it is difficult to apply for scholarships in American high schools, so families applying for American high schools are required to have good family economic ability. Generally speaking, going to high school in the United States costs 350,000-400,000 RMB per year. Visa application also requires at least 800,000 asset certificates. Because going to high school in the United States is to prepare for entering an Ivy League university in the United States, studying in the United States should be backed by a good economic foundation.

Q: How do high school students usually solve the problems of eating, drinking and accommodation when they arrive in the United States?

Teacher: If you live in a boarding school, students' meals are arranged by the school. The food is rich and the nutrition is well matched. In terms of accommodation, American high schools usually have two rooms for students. The school will arrange for a native American student to live with the students, which is more conducive to students' integration into American life and improving their oral English. Students can also apply for a single room after entering senior three. In the United States, breakfast and dinner for students from host families are arranged by host families, and lunch is eaten at school.

Q: Was it appropriate for students to bring credit cards or cash in the past?

Teacher: Generally speaking, credit cards and cash are very convenient in America. However, because students are still young, we generally recommend parents to apply for a supplementary credit card for their children, and about $2,000 in cash is enough.

Q: Are there many parents accompanying students attending high school in the United States?

Teacher: Not much. American boarding schools don't allow parents to visit students casually. If they want to see it, they can only see them on Saturday and Sunday. In the case of a host family, it is not convenient for parents to often go in and out of the host family. Generally speaking, accompanying parents is not conducive to children's independence and English ability, and is not conducive to children's integration into American life.

Q: American private high schools choose day high schools or boarding high schools?

Teacher: Just as much. There are only 300 boarding high schools in the United States, and only about 100 schools enroll international students. There are as many as 8,000 day schools, which are relatively easy to apply for. Nowadays, there are more and more students applying for boarding high schools in the United States, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce.

Q: What about organizations in American high schools that help students find host families?

Teacher: Yes, there are many such institutions. Because students attending high schools in the United States are generally under 18 years old, students need guardians in the United States. If a student chooses a boarding school, then the school is the student's guardian; If students choose to attend high schools in the United States, they are usually the guardians of the students. We will help students who successfully apply for American day high schools find the most experienced American host families.

Q: Are American boarding high schools strict with students?

Teacher: Because I went to a boarding high school in America, and the school is the guardian, so the school is strict with students. Students should greet the school when they go out and ask the teacher for instructions when they return to school. This is responsible for the safety of students.

Q: Is attending high school in the United States more conducive to applying to American Ivy League universities?

Teacher: Compared with domestic high schools applying for American Ivy League universities, American high schools are easier to apply for American universities, and American universities recognize American private high schools more. Similarly, American Ivy League schools may be more inclined to China students who attended American private high schools.

Q: There is another situation. Are there any students expelled or expelled from American high schools? How to deal with this situation?

Teacher: There is such a situation. If you don't do well in high school in America, you may be expelled from school or expelled. In this case, you can choose to transfer, but it will also have a certain impact on students' future grades.

Q: If they go to senior high school in the United States, what advice should we give to their life and study?

Teacher: Besides studying hard, students should also take part in extracurricular activities in the United States and learn more about current events in the United States. Talking with local students can help us integrate into American life as soon as possible and improve our spoken English. At the same time, we should avoid getting together with China people, communicate more with Americans, integrate into American life, and cultivate independence; Participating in extracurricular activities is also more conducive to applying for American universities. If the ability permits, you can also choose some AP courses, which are all overweight for applying for Ivy League universities in the United States.

The above is the answer to the question whether 18 years old is suitable for studying in the United States. I hope this article will be helpful to students aged 18 who want to study in the United States.
