I. Age

For example, American high schools are in grades 9- 12, which is equivalent to grades 3 to 3 in China. Students who graduate from Grade Two to Grade Two in China can apply for admission to American high schools. Domestic students can directly apply for the ninth grade of American senior high school after finishing the second year of senior high school, and domestic senior high school students suggest applying for the ninth grade of American senior high school 10. Generally speaking, the minimum age requirement for entering high school in the United States is 14 years old.

Second, the academic conditions

American high schools also evaluate students' achievements in China. Generally, the average score is above 80 points. Some good private high schools even require students' grades to be above 90% or 10% in the whole grade. Therefore, the performance of students in China will have an impact on admission.

Thirdly, English standardized test.

Generally speaking, American high schools will require international students to provide standardized English scores, such as SLEP, TOEFL, IELTS or SSAT. The school determines the students' English level through English standardized scores, so as to determine whether students need to take ESL language courses and the corresponding scores and course selection. SLEP is specially designed for international students attending high schools in the United States. This is the most basic English test for international students, with scores ranging from 20 to 67. According to the score, it will be roughly divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced. About 20-45 points are elementary, 45-55 points are intermediate and 56-67 points are advanced.

Another test for applying for high school is called SSAT, the American high school entrance examination, which is mainly for local American students to enter American private high schools. Students with TOEFL scores above 79 suggest taking SSAT.

Fourth, the teacher's recommendation letter

Generally speaking, applying for high school requires three letters of recommendation from students. The English teacher, the math teacher, the head teacher or the principal each provide a letter of recommendation. Letter of recommendation requires teachers to evaluate and recommend students' performance in school and in all aspects. A good recommendation letter is also an important basis for students to be admitted to American high schools. Sometimes, a good recommendation letter can make up for the lack of students' academic performance.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Self-report applied by students.

Student self-report (individual)

Generally, students are required to write by themselves. You can introduce yourself, hobbies, awards or extracurricular activities at once. Some schools will also have their own designed questionnaires or propositional compositions for students to fill out. This is mainly to let the school have a preliminary understanding of students.

Sixth, parents apply for self-reporting.

Parents apply for self-reporting mainly to ask parents to introduce their children. It can include children's growth and personality, as well as their advantages and development direction, as well as their own career and family situation. Parents' self-report can let the school know about their children and their growing environment. This will help the school to take care of students in the future.

Seven, the school interview

American high school applications basically require interviews. Interviews are generally divided into on-site interviews, telephone interviews and video interviews. On-site interview usually takes about 1 hour. Telephone and video interviews generally take 20-30 minutes; Determine the interview duration according to the interview situation of students. The school evaluates students' comprehensive ability through interviews. Our company will give guidance to students before the interview.

Eight. Proof of family financial resources

Parents need to provide proof of bank deposit to ensure the tuition of students during their stay in the United States. The original deposit certificate is required, and all major banks can do it. Generally speaking, we suggest that the family deposit certificate for attending high school in the United States can be more than 500,000 RMB.

Nine. passport

Students need to get their passports in advance before applying. You need to provide a scanned student passport to the school when applying.

Four abilities of high school students studying abroad

1. What high school students need to study abroad-the ability to live independently.

Many children who have finished high school in China have never done housework, and their self-care ability is weak. If you go abroad directly after graduating from high school, you will not only face the pressure of study, but also take care of yourself in life, and even bring psychological problems to your children.

2. High school students need to study abroad-learning adaptability

High school graduates have received 12 years of basic education in China and are already familiar with the education system in China. In foreign countries, students are faced with open education. After finishing preparatory courses abroad, a large number of students can't successfully enter universities to start their undergraduate studies because of their poor grades.

3. High school students need to study abroad-language ability

Many high school students who have just graduated from abroad, language has become a direct obstacle to the study and life of foreign students, so it is very important for children to basically pass the language barrier before going abroad.
