American high schools are divided into two categories: public and private. American law stipulates that the longest period for foreign students to attend public high schools is one year, and only a small number of international students study in the form of exchange students. Private secondary schools have no such restrictions. International students can only receive all high school education in the United States if they study in private middle schools. I want students studying in the United States to see how American students go to school. Learning style

Unlike China's cramming education, American middle schools adopt heuristic education. Any course requires students to explore, organize and write their own reports. There are many opportunities for questioning and discussion in the classroom, which is very different from the domestic education model. It takes at least 1 semester for domestic students to gradually adapt to their teaching methods. As long as you push yourself, you will soon be on your way. For students with excellent grades or special skills in some aspects, American middle schools offer college credit courses (AP), which can be reduced or exempted after entering universities.

extracurricular activities

American private boarding schools have always been famous for their rich extracurricular activities, which is closely related to the fact that boarding schools attach importance to the all-round development of students. Sports (basketball, volleyball, hockey, tennis, golf, squash, track and field, gymnastics, etc. ), music (instrumental music, chorus), art (art, sculpture, oil painting, etc. ), speeches and debates, plays (plays and performances), publications, community services, field development, etc. These activities can enable students to develop in an all-round way and tap their potential in depth. It is the popularity of these activities that makes the graduates of boarding middle schools get a much higher admission rate than those of public middle schools, especially the admission rate of famous schools like Ivy League, because famous schools are interested in a comprehensive graduate rather than a nerd student.
