What is the difference between an international school and a traditional school?

NO.1 Classroom Layout

Domestic primary and secondary school campus design mostly emphasizes the division of functional areas. Each functional area is relatively independent. Public **** facilities such as libraries and gymnasiums are often far away from teaching areas, resulting in generally low accessibility and utilization of public **** facilities. Although due to the large scale, the public **** activity space cannot be used as the core layout of the organization as in international schools, the overall public **** facilities can be divided and dispersed in the teaching area for the convenience of students in the teaching area.

NO.2 Curriculum

The international curriculum places a great deal of emphasis on English language teaching, which is very helpful in improving students' English language skills. Bilingual education allows children to learn about diverse cultures, have a better sense of language, and be more open and objective in their thinking. However, the curriculum in traditional Chinese schools places little emphasis on English; English teachers teach classes to teach students how to do problems, but they rarely work on their oral English skills.

And international programs can be chosen according to students' preferences. Students' interests can be satisfied, which is conducive to the development of students' specialties and personalities. However, under the traditional curriculum system, students need to learn all the courses. If homework is not good, they may miss good schools. Children under the traditional curriculum system will find it hard to find their strengths, which is not conducive to personality development. The international curriculum is more favorable for students to study abroad in the future.

NO.3 Operation of Forms

Schools in the system emphasize test-taking and require students to read, watch and practice more in order to master more knowledge in a short time. International schools favor exploration and teamwork, encourage problem identification and solving, and require a high degree of self-discipline and practice.

NO.4 The Purpose of Learning

Test-based education requires a high level of IQ but does not focus on cultivating students' emotional intelligence, making it difficult to develop children into multi-faceted individuals. International schools can help children grow up happily and develop their IQ and EQ in many ways.
