study abroad
just one week into the new semester, many freshman students have expressed their feelings on various social media platforms:"too much pressure", "a record low in the exam", "shuilingling collapsed"...
what made them sigh was the recent entrance exams of some high schools and the joint exam papers of various prestigious schools circulated among parents. sister lu was not too surprised. compared with the high school entrance exam, the entrance exams of the new semester, which are only separated by a summer vacation, have appeared in recent years as a "show of strength" and a test of the results of the summer review of freshmen.
there are also freshmen who secretly report to sister lu,my classmates have already finished learning the three-year high school content for some subjects, but i haven't even sorted out the knowledge points yet, and someone can blurt out the answer...faced with such a huge gap at the beginning of the school year, not to mention the parents of the new senior high school students, even many parents of the third year of junior high school students were very nervous:although the high school entrance examination has become easier, passing it is not the end of the road to higher education.
you can't lie down, because after the junior high school entrance examination there is the college entrance examination; you can't take the exam, because the traditional track of the college entrance examination, if you want to enter key universities such as 985 and 211, it is a very arduous challenge, or even an impossible task for ordinary students, except for the top students.
some parents of high school seniors looked back and told the truth:choice is often more important than hard work!
and one of the choices they say is more important than hard work is to gointernational education routethose who choose the international education route, after three years of hard work in high school,i have more confidence and the possibility to choose a prestigious school.
xiaosen, a senior high school girl who is currently in the study abroad application season, has a deep understanding of this point.
01
junior high school can't enter the top threeafter switching to the international track, it is expected to be a prestigious school
komori
ielts 7.5 strong foundation class
a senior student at hangzhou wei han school
xiaosen has always been a girl with a strong sense of independence and has a very clear vision for her career.
she had been studying in a public junior high school. however, when she was in the third year of junior high school, she checked her grades with her family and found thatit is really difficult to enter the top few high schools.but if you enter a not so strong high school,work hard for three yearsafter that, you may only be able to go to an ordinary undergraduate school, or even worse...
so in the first semester of the third year of junior high school, after comprehensive consideration, the whole family decided to go the international education route.
try changing your competition track.gocompete for admission to a world-renowned university.in addition, xiaosen has loved english since she was a child, and this is also her strong subject. although she only went through a short week of intensive training before the exam, xiaosen was able to enter hangzhou weihan school as she wished.
at hangzhou wei han school, xiao sen feels that the overall learning situation is relatively easy. he does not have the strong urge to practice questions as he did in junior high school, nor does he have too much pressure to rank.
because this isa completely different education system from the college entrance examination route, the learning methods are different, and the evaluation standards and methods are also different.
in addition to english, chemistry is xiaosen's favorite subject. after the end of the first year of high school, xiaosen found the school's college counselor.talked about my thoughts on university majorsthe teacher was very supportive and gave her specific guidance, telling her that she could participate in some chemistry-related scientific research and academic projects in her second year of high school to improve her academic ability.
xiaosen participated in and completed an epq project in chemistry. in his second year of high school, xiaosen entered the strong foundation class.i finished learning and taking all the senior year content ahead of time, and got a good ielts score of 7.5.
thanks to advance planning, all of komori's work has been planned in advance and fully prepared.now, her application documents are almost ready and she has also gone through the mock interviews. she can submit the relevant materials as soon as the application season begins.
through this real case of xiaosen, it is not difficult to see that the advantages of choosing an international track are not onlychoose subjects that you are good at by leveraging your strengths and avoiding your weaknessesthere is no distinction between arts and sciences, so students can better play their own advantages. at the same time, they can submit their best scores and apply to universities around the world an unlimited number of times.
in other words,the probability of getting into a prestigious school may be much higher than studying hard for three years within the system!no wonder everyone says: "international high schools are a better shortcut to ivy league schools." so what are the specific advantages? if you can't get into the college entrance examination, will international high schools be a better path to further study?

the kid who chose the international track
life after school is exciting
in recent years, with the popularity of studying abroad and the development of international high schools, many families have chosen to switch to or choose the international high school track.this year, more families chose the international track than in the previous two years.a lot.
zhang and hu, who just graduated from junior high school, are among them.what considerations led to the choice? have you adapted to the life in the first week of the new semester?
zhang
freshman at hangzhou foreign language and culture university
zhang is a freshman in the hangzhou foreign language school's jiangao international class. when he talked about the first week of high school study, he couldn't hide his happiness:“it’s fun to study, the teaching quality is good, and the canteen is especially good.”
he mentioned that the courses are divided into two categories: a-level courses and high school entrance examination courses.
the a-level courses are taught entirely in english and are taught by foreign teachers, so you need to have a strong foundation in english. generally speaking, the english level of students who can be admitted to the cambridge international class is not bad, so they can basically attend the lectures without any obstacles.
in comparison,subjects such as physics and economics involve many technical terms and difficult points, so you need to preview them in advance every day.
but as early asduring the summer vacation between junior high school and high schoolthe school has already distributed the relevant learning materials to everyone in advance. with advance preparation, there is basically no problem in attending class.
compared with high school studies within the system,the international class has less homework, so there is no need to do a lot of exam papers or practice questions, but independent learning is very important.。especially advance preparation, which is an important guarantee for whether you can keep up with the progress and rhythm and understand the lessons later.
student hu
freshman at hangzhou foreign language and culture university
student hu is also a freshman who entered the hangzhou foreign language school's jiangao international class this year. his biggest feeling is,the overall learning atmosphere in jiangao is very strong, and everyone has strong self-awareness and learning ability.
because students need to arrange a lot of time on their own during the day, these two abilities are very important.
usually everyone wakes up at 6:00 in the morning, has breakfast at 6:30-7:00, and starts the first class at 8:00.students need to make their own arrangements during the 2-hour morning time.
student hu usually gets up at 6:10, then recites words, eats breakfast and goes to the classroom to preview the day's lessons. other students have their own plans. some students go for a morning run every day, so he gets up earlier than other students to run on the playground.
4:00-6:00 p.m. is also free time. since the school has just started, the club classes have not officially started yet, so everyone can choose to exercise or continue studying. in the evening, it is evening self-study, and basically students arrange their own study. lights are turned off at 10 o'clock.
overall,student hu feels that he has adapted very well to this kind of high school life.without the supervision of parents and teachers, children are more self-conscious and can self-assess their learning progress and study accordingly.
hangzhou foreign language school and jianguo high school are international schools that are well-recognized by students in hangzhou, and their admission to prestigious schools has always been good.

parents of international studentswith these experiences
for families who have initial ideas but have not yet learned about the international track,listening to the advice of people who have experienced it is undoubtedly a direct and effective way.
mother hua, whose child is currently studying at hangzhou wei han school, has summarized a lot of experience, which is also the consensus of their whole family in the past two years:
“after deciding to take the international education route,have a comprehensive understanding of international schools and international classes in public high schools.
for example, you need to at least understand the difference between the ap and a-level courses, and understand what standardized test scores are required for each system when applying for foreign universities, and what standardized test scores correspond to what level of university... "hua's mother believes that these are the basics that parents must understand when deciding to study abroad.if you choose a school without understanding all of this, it would be too blind and not conducive to studying and preparing for the exam in a targeted manner.
after understanding the basic information and deciding on the country where you want to study, you need to choose a school. this is of utmost importance, as it affects your child's studies in the next three years and also has a great impact on future university applications.
hua's mother said:"you need to consider whether the school's teaching philosophy is suitable for your child and whether the curriculum is appropriate."these are all points that need to be taken into consideration.
