First, the age segmentation of studying abroad at a young age
4-7 years old: language learning potential period
In Britain, the minimum age for international students to apply for a student visa is 4 years old. The period of 4-7 years old is also a crucial period for students to learn a language. At this time, students have great potential in language learning and thinking mode training. If they can receive pure English education early, it will actually be very helpful to their future. However, children under the age of 7 generally have no self-care ability and need to be accompanied by their parents.
7- 13 years old: learning ability training period
7- 13 years old is actually the preparatory school stage in Britain. At this time, students basically have some views on right and wrong, and also have some self-care ability. Moreover, students often show some hobbies and talents at this time to make their own academic plans.
Because there is a ten-year permanent residence rule in Britain, if students study abroad during this period, they can apply for a green card after finishing college. This is also very attractive to many families.
13- 18 years old: academic sprint period
13- 18 years old is actually a middle school stage in Britain and a popular stage for studying abroad at a young age. Often, students in this period already have the world outlook and values, and they have already taken shape, so they are more malleable. At this time, the cost of studying abroad is not so much. Students at this stage may face more difficult courses here and need extra tutoring. Moreover, students have been educated in their mother tongue for a long time at this time, and they are not so quick to adapt to the environment.
Second, why do you want to study abroad at a young age?
1, cultivate creative thinking
Let younger students study here in Britain, let them feel different cultural environment before their thinking is completely stereotyped, and they will accept different ways of thinking faster. However, the British education system has developed to work, and the educational resources are very good. Students who study in Britain earlier can enjoy such high-quality educational resources earlier. Moreover, studying in the UK can provide a better language learning environment and better oral expression.
2. Smooth transition period
It's not that difficult to study in Britain at a young age and then apply for top private institutions. Moreover, students will not have any test and study pressure here for the time being, and they can have a lot of time to adapt. If students plan to work and live here in the future, they can also use this time to lay a good foundation.
