What are the differences between international high schools and ordinary high schools?

The differences between international high schools and ordinary high schools are mainly reflected in:

Intention to go abroad to study in ordinary high schools: After completing three years of study, students will take the national unified college entrance examination, obtain the graduation certificate of ordinary high schools in China, and study in domestic undergraduate or junior college. Suitable for students who adapt to traditional education and have no intention of going abroad.

International Senior High School: Students have completed 1-3 years of study in China, applied for foreign universities and obtained foreign bachelor's degrees, which is suitable for students who intend to go abroad.

Compared with the relatively fixed curriculum of ordinary high schools, the curriculum of international high schools is more diverse. Almost every international high school curriculum will cover multiple categories, and the general curriculum consists of compulsory courses and elective courses. It has changed the traditional way of high school education for all children, so that the method of respecting the differences of different students can stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning.

The courses in international high schools are rich in content. In addition to the basic courses we are familiar with, there are also students who are close to university majors such as business, art and computing. Guided by practicality and employment, if students learn basic knowledge such as business, mathematics and art in high school, they will be fully prepared, so that students can choose a wider range of majors when entering foreign universities and smoothly connect with university courses.

Performance evaluation system In ordinary high school education, students' performance is almost completely reflected in a test paper, which leads to the unreasonable "exam-oriented education" now.

In international high schools, students' grades are made up of many parts by learning the western performance evaluation system. In addition to the usual academic performance, students' social activities (such as business competitions, model associations, public welfare activities, etc. ) is also an important reference

Take the A-Level course as an example. The examination papers of this course are all produced by the British Examinations Authority, which is marked globally, with uniform examination time and grading standards, and its authority is recognized worldwide. This exam is not for life. There are many exams every year. If students are not satisfied with their grades, they can take a make-up exam.

Studying international school courses and applying for universities are based on good grades. At the same time, the exam is less difficult than the Chinese college entrance examination. Without digression and strange questions, it is easy to achieve ideal results by paying attention to the methods and steps of analysis and problem solving.

Teachers' arrangement because the courses in international high schools are complex and diverse, covering different courses at home and abroad, there will be higher requirements for teachers. Teachers in international high schools are generally composed of foreign teachers, Chinese teachers and returnees. Foreign teachers are used to teach international courses and improve students' oral English. Teachers in China and returnees can realize bilingual teaching, and understanding the admission standards of foreign universities is conducive to guiding students to study abroad.

Bilingual teaching in Chinese and English, learning in English environment, so that students can adapt to overseas learning mode in advance. There are few foreign teachers in ordinary high schools, and most of them are teachers who graduated from China Normal University. Of course, the teachers in some key schools are also very good.

The model of "one exam for life" is still common in ordinary high schools. Getting good grades and going to a better university in China is the training goal of ordinary high schools.

However, in international high schools, students' choice is basically to study abroad after graduation. At present, most international high schools connect with foreign universities for this goal. In addition to the docking of the curriculum system, many international high schools also have direct links with foreign universities. This will help students to better experience the classroom atmosphere abroad, and also provide guarantee for their future application for studying abroad.
