1. First look at the school education system.
It is very important to read the tutorial, whether it is the British education system or the American education system. For example, many families will choose schools in the direction of Britain, because they may go to Britain to study in universities in the future. Most people who choose British education like the British education model, or choose to study in the UK in the future.
2. A coherent academic system
Considering whether the school is a continuous school system from kindergarten to high school, or a discontinuous school system with only kindergarten or only primary school or middle school interrupted, this involves the follow-up education of children once they enter school, which can not be ignored.
3. After choosing to receive British education or American education.
It is very important to choose a specific school that you and your children like from many American schools or British schools. For example, English schools in Beijing have the internationally renowned Hello British School in Beijing.
4. From early childhood education to high school curriculum.
Many parents consider when choosing a school, that is, whether the curriculum of these schools is consistent from early childhood education to high school, whether it should be connected with their own education, and whether the exams taken at all ages are conducted at the same time with their own students. In other words, for the same exam, you can apply for the relevant schools in this country and have the same right to be selected as students in this country. In other words, you can apply to any university in Britain by taking the exam of Hello British School in Beijing.
5. And tuition.
Basically, the tuition fees of these international schools in Beijing are mostly the same, with little difference. When choosing a school, if parents have decided to send their children to such an international school, the difference in tuition fees is basically negligible.
6. The quality of students.
A good student source is the prerequisite for the success of the school. But here I want to clarify a concept, "the best is not the best, but the right school is the best." Send your children to a prestigious school where all graduates apply for the top 20, but you should also consider whether your children have the same learning style and foundation as those in the class. Parents here must first have a clear understanding in their minds: what level their children are, and then choose a school.
How to look at the overall level of the school? First of all, we can see how high the entrance threshold of this school is and what the consideration is for enrolling students. Some schools are famous for their high enrollment rate, but children may be at the bottom. My suggestion is that children should be in the top 20% of the class, at least not less than 30%, so as to cultivate their self-confidence. If they are after 50%, it may do great psychological harm to them.
7. Parents circle
The formation of parent circle culture is very important. Some schools interview parents, just like boarding schools in America. The interview depends on parents' understanding of education and whether their expectations are consistent with the school's philosophy. In fact, although parents have various backgrounds, they still have certain commonalities. In private, or at the parent-teacher conference, you can observe the behavior of parents and what topics they talk about.
8. Enrolment rate of previous students
The graduation rate of a school is the main manifestation of the teaching achievements of international schools, and the proportion of previous graduates of international schools applying for famous foreign schools also determines the teaching strength and learning atmosphere of the school.
