Benefits of Studying in the International School for Kids

 


Introduction

For a long time, many parents have been sending their children to international schools.

These schools for example Wonder Valley, an International and Bilingual school in Hat Yai Thailand offer a unique international perspective and give students the chance to learn alongside children from around the world. 

There are numerous benefits of sending your child to an international school including:

Multicultural environment

An international school is a place that promotes diversity, and it's something that you have to experience in person to fully understand.

When traveling around the world, you'll notice how diverse cultures are. You may see people who look different from each other; they might speak a different language or have different traditions and beliefs. But when it comes down to it, we're all human beings with similar goals: happiness, good health, safety, and security for ourselves and our loved ones.

Children need to be exposed early on to other cultures so they can learn about these differences while still finding common ground between them all. This will help them grow up into more open-minded adults who can appreciate different opinions without being judgmental towards them (or others).

If your child attends an international school in Boston or abroad (like ours), then there will be plenty of opportunities for him/her to interact with people from various backgrounds—and perhaps even learn another language!

International Baccalaureate curriculum

The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum is a rigorous program that prepares students for university. It's recognized by universities globally, and it mimics many of the Advanced Placement (AP) courses offered in the United States. The IB curriculum focuses on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration with others, and self-reflection.

If your child is interested in pursuing higher education, an international school can help them prepare for their future by providing education aligned with the IB curriculum. If your child isn’t sure what they want to do after high school yet, attending an international school will give them time to explore their options while receiving a high-quality education that will prepare them academically for whatever path they choose to go down once they graduate from high school. You can even find them an IB tutor to help them out if they need a little extra support in certain areas of their studies. 

English language development

Your child will learn the English language. They will be able to express themselves in a way that is understood by others, whether they are in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, or Australia. This will give them more confidence when speaking to people from other countries.

Your child can experience different cultures and languages through their friends at school and extracurricular activities such as sports or drama lessons. For example, if you send your child to an international school in Australia where most of the students speak English as their first language then they may make friends with people who do not speak Balinese (your native language). However, if your child attends an international school based in Bali then they may have friends who also speak Indonesian or even Chinese!

This type of diversity can help them become well-rounded individuals by understanding how others think differently from themselves while still having certain similarities like being able to communicate effectively through speaking another person's native tongue."

Qualified and experienced teachers

  • Teachers are qualified and experienced.

  • Teachers are native speakers of the language they teach. Most teachers at an international school have a minimum of five years of teaching experience, which means they understand how to effectively communicate with their students, especially those who are learning English as a new language.

  • Teachers have undergone training in education theory and practice. International schools hire only highly qualified staff members who have received training specific to the needs of children in an international environment.

Emphasis on character building

Character building is an important part of the curriculum at international schools. Each school has a character development program, which may include a Code of Conduct, student welfare initiatives, and discipline policies. The focus on student welfare means that you can rest assured your child will be well looked after and cared for, so you can concentrate on work or other commitments.

International schools offer a unique international perspective

An international school is a great option for homeschooled kids who want to travel, or for students who simply want to learn in an environment with other kids from all over the world.

Our international schools are located in major cities around the world, including New York City, London, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. Students have access to teachers from around the globe and can learn about different cultures and languages through our curriculum offerings. Students also get hands-on experience living abroad through our field trips program where they visit museums, cultural centers, and more across their host city!

In addition to these benefits of international schools, there is another benefit they offer: a unique international perspective that you simply cannot find anywhere else! International schools provide students with opportunities they would not otherwise have access to; like attending overseas conferences where both teachers and students present on topics related specifically to their interests such as science experiments involving physics principles (which was me) or dance performances where people show off what they've learned throughout their years at school (which was also me).

Conclusion

We hope that this article has given you some insight into the benefits of international schools.
