What's the difference between American international schools and British international schools?
First, the curriculum is different. British schools offer A-LEVEL courses and IGCSE courses. Students study A-LEVEL after IGCSE and then apply for university. American schools will study American English international courses and AP courses. The AP course is an American college preparatory course, and the AP course will be a little more difficult. Children with extra energy can choose 3-4 courses, and the subjects are not limited. The difficulty of the exam is equivalent to the final exam of American freshmen.

Second, the educational concept is different. British education has a long history and is relatively traditional. In the educational concept, moral and education are emphasized, and the discipline mode is relatively strict. Teachers will also give students specific guidance on when and what to do, but they will not interfere too much. Therefore, education in Britain is also very close to China's educational philosophy. Education in the United States can be said to be "grazing" education. Children should learn to arrange their own study time, emphasize autonomy, advocate freedom, do what they like, pay attention to students' personality development and emphasize autonomy.

Third, British schools with different management styles are separated from horizontal grade division, while American management styles encourage cooperation, courage and leadership. From an academic point of view, the British management system is more rigorous and suitable for professionals, while the American system is more open and suitable for generalists.

American international schools and British international schools have their own characteristics, different educational concepts and different children's personalities, which are suitable for different educational methods. Parents can choose according to their children's personality and learning situation.
