Public and private secondary schools have their own advantages and are suitable for students with different characteristics. Language, grades, personality, interest, age and psychological adaptability are all key factors in the choice.

Public Middle Schools: A Better Starting Point

For students below grade 9, public middle schools are a better starting point. The rhythm there is easier to adapt, and language and learning can gradually keep up.

Private schools: know in advance

Students who are interested in choosing a private school are advised to know the language requirements, enrollment quota and courses offered (such as AP and IB), as well as the form of accommodation (day and boarding) and the nature of the school (boys' school, girls' school and mixed school) in advance.

Tuition: significant difference

The tuition fee of public middle schools is usually 70,000-80,000 RMB a year, while that of private schools is1-300,000 RMB.
