Nowadays, international education is becoming more and more popular, and many families want their children to attend international schools in order to study abroad in the future. Parents need to know the school's entry requirements before choosing a school for their child, and the most important of these is the nationality requirement.
So, what are the nationality requirements for students in international schools?Is it true that only foreign students can attend international schools?Let's take a look at the answers to these questions.
International schools were originally set up specifically for the children of foreign nationals, and provided courses for foreign students according to the education system of countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, or Japan. However, with the development of international education, the teaching target of international schools has been expanded to all students who are interested in studying abroadThe types of international schools have also changed from one to three, namely, international schools, public international schools, and private international schools
The school only admits students from foreign families, Hong Kong, Macao and TaiwanSome schools have requirements for the nationality of the student's parents, some schools have requirements for the nationality of the student, and some schools have requirements, which are subject to the specific admission policy of the school.
The public international department enrolls students with household registration in Chinese mainland, like the general high school, also admits students through the recruitment system。Students need to take the high school entrance examination and fill in the volunteers. Normally, students who want to enter the international class of a key middle school must also obtain a high school entrance examination score that exceeds the high school entrance examination. However, it should be noted that some public international departments in Shanghai are only open to foreign students, and they are 12-year schools, which is about the same as schools for children of foreign nationals.
Private international schools admit both Chinese and foreign studentsMost schools have a 12- or 15-year system. Many students choose private international schools to avoid the problem of transferring schools in the future. These schools do not require the nationality or household registration of students, so there are Chinese students as well as foreign students on the campus.
In short, it is not only foreign students who can attend international schoolsChinese students who want to receive an international education can choose public international classes or private international schools。However, the enrollment requirements, management models, and Xi atmosphere of these two schools are not the same, so parents should consider carefully and learn more about the schools that are suitable for their children's development.
