International Schools With the rapid development of international education, private international schools and public international classes have blossomed everywhere, and they are very popular with parents in economically developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Many parents plan to send their children to international schools and then study abroad. So,Since students attend international schools to study abroad, why not just go abroad? The following content will take you to understand this problem from several perspectives.
International schools admit students under the age of 18 and provide them with a bilingual international education. If the child does not go to an international school and goes abroad directly, parents have to worry about two problems:
1. Personal safety
The situation abroad is chaotic, and many news reports on the dangers and difficulties encountered by international students. Parents need to consider how to ensure the safety of their children when they are studying at a young age, but in fact, there are no 100% safety measures. Compared with foreign countries, it is much safer in China, and parents will be more at ease when their children are around.
2. Personal growth
Foreign countries have less restraint on young people, and many young people have wrong ideas and behaviors. Children are too young to form the right values, and parents are worried about whether they will be affected badly if they are in such a growing environment. In addition, children who are separated prematurely from their parents may also have psychological problems as a result.
Of course, some parents will also consider the cost and language issues.
1. Charging standards
The cost of studying abroad for students is far more than the cost of attending school at home. On the one hand, parents will choose private primary and secondary schools for their children, and the tuition fees of private schools abroad are not cheap; On the other hand, due to the exchange rate, students' consumption expenditure abroad will not be low. If parents are worried about their children and choose to accompany them, then they will also need to pay a lot of money. In general, it is much more expensive to send a child to study abroad at a young age than to have a child go to an international school in China.
2. Language adaptation
The language and cultural environment at home and abroad are not the same. Students who live in an unfamiliar environment may be influenced by the people around them to quickly improve their foreign language skills, but they may also fall into a bad situation because they cannot adapt to this language environment. International schools in China, on the other hand, adopt a step-by-step model, offering bilingual courses and gradually offering English-only courses, giving students a longer transition period.
