3. 不同年龄阶段的孩子选择不同的出国方式 如果你的孩子是初中或初中以下年龄的孩子： • 从生理和心理的年龄来说，满了18岁的孩子，生理和心理都相对成熟的时候出国较好； • 从学科知识的角度来说，一方面中国的基础教育在全世界都是首屈一指的，另一方面中国高中的知识却严重缺乏实用性和必要性，反而占用了学生学习实用知识的时间，因此初中毕业是出国的最佳时候； 如果您的孩子已经满了18岁： 通过雅思或者托福考试的成绩，申请国外预科，再进入国外大学读书是最佳途径。

10. 我们认为剑桥考试体系的A-level是最合适中国学生的课程我们认为剑桥考试体系的A-level是最合适中国学生的课程 • 它是最为世界名校认可的具有国际资格的考试体系，全世界160个国家均高度认可该成绩； • 所有的顶尖大学都很熟悉该体系，均认可该考试方式，接受该考试成绩； • 学生可以根据自己的特长和优势来选择学科； • 大学入校考试只需要三门学科成绩； • 为中国学生进入到海外大学就读提供最佳的过渡阶段； • 虽然英语不是中国学生的第一语言，但是A-level课程中这个不构成中国学生学习的劣势。

11. Learning in an international school • Learning in an international school prepares students for the Western way of learning in Western universities • They are taught how to think critically, how to be creative, and how to apply knowledge to different contexts and new situations. • They are taught to work independently, to work in groups, to question ideas and knowledge, to find the relevance in learning, and encouraged to be reflective • They are taught that course work is just as important as the final exams and internal assessments count towards the final grade. In some subjects a student’s mark is not dependent on one exam at the end, but course work completed over the year as well.

12. 国际高中的优势分析 • 在国际学校读书可以帮助学生熟悉西方学习方式； • 学生可以提前进行批判思维方式、创意思维模式的训练；可以培养利用知识解决实际问题的能力； • 学生学习如何独立自主地学习，小组式学习，对知识和他人的观点提出质疑，学习如何捕鱼，而不是只是了解关于鱼的知识，并鼓励思考； • 学生的平时成绩和考试成绩同样重要，让学生懂得学习不仅仅只关注最后的考试，而是关注学习的整个过程。

13. For example ART Students are taught to be creative and apply the skills they have learnt to their own art-work. It is not about copying and being the best at copying the teacher’s work. It is about transforming what they have learnt into their own creative work. High marks are awarded for their own creativity and individuality.

14. 举例说明 美术 学生要学习创造性地运用美术技能,他们要学习创造有个性的作品，不是简单的复制和重复。作品需要反映的是所学到的知识如何体现自己的个性，如何新颖。只有有创新意识和个性体现的作品才能获得高分。

15. For example PHYSICS Students are given real-life situations in which they can apply their skills and knowledge. Students do not just learn formulas and complete exercises. They discover the laws of physics through real experiments completed in the class. They then apply these laws to real life situations and make judgments based on what they have learnt.

16. 举例说明 物理 学生需要运用所学到的知识和技巧解决现实问题，他们不只是练习公式和成套的练习题，他们需要通过实验自己去发现定律,通过实验验证定律，然后运用知识来处理现实生活中的问题,并用他们以前的知识来进行判断。

17. For example BUSINESS Students have the opportunity to learn and understand economic theories and concepts through the study of real business situations. They gain skills in business development and entrepreneurship and apply these creatively to different situations

18. 举例说明 商科 通过对真实的商务案例来研究、学习和理解商务经济理论和概念，所有的知识也都是围绕着现实生活。学生在真实的案例中理解商务经济的运作和企业家精神，并要求把这些知识创造性地运用到不同的领域。

19. For example MATHS Students are shown how learning in Maths is not simply completing exercises from a text book. They are shown how Maths is applied in real world situations to help with design, building, mechanics, statistical analysis and many other real-life situations

20. 举例说明 数学 数学学习绝不仅仅是完成一张一张的试卷，他们要了解数字的来源以及数学在实际生活中的作用，例如在设计、建筑规划、机械、统计分析以及其他领域作用，学生需要通过所学知识进行不同的理解和设计等。

21. For example MUSIC Students have the opportunity to learn about music theory, music history and master listening skills. However, performance on an instrument counts towards their final grade, as does the ability to creatively compose their own pieces of music

22. 举例说明 音乐 学生需要学习音乐理论、音乐历史，提高精准的听力技巧。同时,器乐表演也是期末考试中重要的一环。学校常常会教授创造性地作曲能力，所有这些都是评判学生音乐能力的不同方面。

23. Linguistic preparation When choosing a school for your child it is important to see that a school offers the following:

29. IELTs and toefl preparation IELTS and TOEFL are the English speaking exams accepted by all leading universities around the world • Good international schools will have systems in place to prepare students for these very important exams • IELTS and TOEFL scores have an impact on which programmes students can enter in different universities • Good international schools should also ensure that they do not focus solely on these exams. English acquisition and fluency are the most important factors • Good international schools should also be able to prepare students so that IELTS and TOEFL may not be necessary. CIEEnglish exams mean that they can enter university without these exams

33. For Example Western universities require different ways of working and studying. Group work, using technology, completing portfolios of course work are all different aspects that students need to be prepared for.

34. 举例说明 西方国家的大学采用不同的方式来学习，例如小组活动,技术运用,完成课程的方式方法千变万化,学生需要做好准备。

35. For example Students should feel comfortable when socialising and working with Western students. Successful Chinese students in Western universities are students who choose to mix outside their social groups. International schools can prepare students for this

36. 举例说明 　　学生应该适应和外国学生在一起学习和生活，在西方大学里面，成功的中国学生都是主动地去选择和非中国学生相处的人，国际学校可以提供这一点。

37. In summary • Learning in an international school provides students with the best preparation for studying overseas. Students can study in China but gain the experiences and qualifications needed to succeed in universities abroad • Good international schools will follow an international curriculum that prepares students academically. The curriculum should suit the students’ strengths and be academically rigorous enough to extend students and give them the grades and qualifications they need to enter university • Good international schools will focus strongly on improving English language. They should have total immersion in English and be staffed by fully qualified native English speakers. There should be many opportunities for students to immerse themselves in English – not just the classroom

It will give students experiences and knowledge of what it will be like so they succeed when they get there • A good international school will give students many opportunities to interact with Western staff and students and give them an understanding of Western customs and English language

40. 综上所述 • 好的国际学校的教学核心应该由外籍专家来主持，他们既了解海外，对教育理念有彻底的了解，并能真正地贯彻理念，这些都是非常重要的。这些是仅仅只知道一点海外知识而没有海外生活体验的人所达不到的； • 好的国际学校会提供文化方面的教育，只有融入了文化了解的知识和经验才能确保学生在国外的成功； • 好的国际学校会提供中外籍文化的互动，以达到相互的了解和理解。
