1. Who are the celebrities studying in British public schools?
According to statistics, more than 80% of the important social positions in British society are held by public school graduates. Everyone in the British royal family knows that they graduated from Eton College and Hello, and many stars also graduated from aristocratic public schools. For example, emma watson, Hermione's actor, graduated from Haddington School, Shakson and Freckle both graduated from Eton College, and Holmes benedict cumberbatch graduated from Hello.
China's most famous graduate is Wang Sicong, who studied at Winchester College.
Second, what is noble public school?
Public schools can be traced back to14th century, when only upper-class children such as nobles in the traditional sense were enrolled. With the growing educational needs of emerging aristocrats, compared with the original private schools, public schools came into being.
Third, the school structure in Britain.
As shown in the above figure, there are currently three types of schools in Britain, most of which do not recruit international students. There are more than 2,500 private schools, of which less than 500 are aristocratic public schools. Those who can't enter the top public schools will consider private schools. Private schools are mixed, keep your eyes open.
The educational orientation of public schools is to cultivate "elites". The "elite" advocated by public schools has three main characteristics: academic diligence, physical and mental health, and high morality. This concept lasted for more than 600 years.
The public school system lasts five years. From the age of 65,438+03, most applicants from public schools will enter preparatory schools before the age of 65,438+03, and the preparatory schools will accept boarding studies for students aged 7-65,438+03. Application for registration generally needs to be carried out 2-3 years in advance.
At the same time, all courses are taught in English, but some schools have EFL or EAL (English as a foreign language/additional language) teachers, so don't worry about not attending classes.
Fourth, the difference between British high schools and American high schools
The gap between British height and American height is actually the cultural difference between Britain and America. The gap between British height and American height is mainly reflected in the following three points:
1, British high school education pays more attention to tradition. Most British schools were founded earlier than American high schools, and their traditions are deeper. They emphasize the cultivation of "gentlemen" and "ladies": let students be generous and decent in their interactions with peers or adults, while American schools emphasize students' personal freedom and self-space, and pay more attention to individuality.
2. Gao Ying emphasizes elite education and its responsibility to society, while Gaomei emphasizes equality, and elite education is becoming more and more popular.
3. In general certificate of education advanced level, the last two years were more than IB or A-level, and the study was very in-depth, emphasizing students' professionalism in a certain major, and completing the exploration of the future development of the major in high school, which means that students from top schools in the UK have already completed the exploration process in their teens.
4. The difficulty of application is relatively low, and the competition in the top high schools in the United States has reached a white-hot stage. TOEFL score 1 10 is useless, but Gao Ying's application has its own assessment criteria and the examination is relatively simple.
In terms of applying for universities, the advantages of British high school students applying for American high schools are also obvious, because the number of British high schools applying for American high schools is small and the competition is not as fierce as that of American high schools, so it is relatively easy to become "top students". Besides, students without foreign nationality are all competing in the same pool, so students studying in Gao Ying may have more advantages in international background.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) applies to an aristocratic college.
The "prime time" applied by famous British schools varies from school to school. Usually, China students apply to attend British secondary schools mainly in the 9th grade, but it is suggested that the earlier the better, the better to enter the preparatory schools.
International students need to abide by the rules of early registration, take academic and intelligence tests after registration, and the school will follow up within a few years after registration.
If you want to apply for first-class traditional schools, such as Eton College, Winchester College, Harrow College, etc. There will be an exam in the sixth grade. For example, the deadline for applying for Eton College is10.5 years old, and Winchester College requires applicants to pass the self-study exam at the age of 65,438+03 before they can be considered.
The application of English high school needs to pass the independent examination of public schools. In addition to the general entrance exam, there are two kinds of exams, CAT and UKISET. English and math are compulsory subjects.
