TOEFL - Generally around 100, and can be lower if you have other things going for you, i.e., teacher recommendations, extracurricular activities, etc.
The schools will compare your school grades with others, so it may affect your applications.

Yes you can apply by yourself. You will need to complete the online application and submit all the supporting documents via mail or fax; followed by a personal interview.

The application involves:
- A student questionnaire.
- Two essays, both handwritten by the student.
- Copy of student passport.
- A financial disclosure form.
- TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or TOEFL Junior test to show English language proficiency. For the TOEFL, the minimum score is 75, and for the TOEFL Junior the minimum score is 865 or iTEP SLATE minimum score of 5.0. If an international student has already been in the US for three or more years, he/she can request to not submit a TOEFL or TOEFL Junior score.
- Official transcripts from 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th grade (or whichever school years the student has completed so far), signed and sealed. Official transcripts must be translated into English. If accepted, they will also need the student's current, official, end of school year transcript. It must be signed, sealed, and translated into English.
- Two Educators Recommendations from the current school.
- And one Math Teacher Recommendation from the current school.
- Either a Clergy Recommendation or a Parent/Guardian Written Statement that shows that the parents are supportive of the student receiving a Christian education. Note: applicants do not need to be Christians to be admitted to Valley Christian's - Schools, but should be spiritually open to learn more about the Christian faith shown through the Bible and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
- Complete record of immunization, translated into English.

For the host family you can ask the school for advice. Normally they will let you know what to do.

Correct. There are some high schools that may have good relationships with certain colleges, and very often it is because of the proximity. However, there is also another saying that it may be easier for a student to get into a certain college if they go to a school in a US State that doesn’t have a lot of population, and so not a lot of students would apply out of the state. Since colleges want to have a well-diversified community, they will often take some less competitive students. 最佳回答

I suggest you to take TOEFL, and also SSAT. Since for most schools, especially the top schools, you will need these scores. The school will compare your child to the other students. And this also prevents the school from thinking that your child is not trying hard enough to take the test.

It should be exempted since Vericant is offered only in China and your child is not expected to go back to China to take the test.

Summer school will give your child extended opportunities to practice his English, and know more about the culture of the country. If you are going to summer school at the school you are applying to, it will help you understand more about the school’s atmosphere, the curriculum and the people there. Sometimes it will be advantageous when you apply to the school since they will know the level you are at and your characteristics.

The school no longer provide AP courses since the fall of 2014. According to the school, they have moved beyond the College Board AP to make room for advanced-level courses that are equally, if not more, academically challenging. Students and teachers have the freedom to delve more deeply into subject matter without the time and curricular constraints of APs. 最佳回答

Percentage of boarding is approximately 5%. In general, the 79 members of the class of 2015 applied to 184 different colleges and received a total of 304 acceptances; 49 schools were represented among their final matriculation plans. Colleges include University of Chicago, Harvard College, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Dartmouth College, Columbia University, and others.

The School has three orchestras, and are primarily performance-based, in the pursuit of performances held throughout the year. Orchestra members may have a wide variety of experience, but all should be able to play their instruments well enough that rehearsals are focused on ensemble skills (playing together in time and in tune, adjusting balance and establishing style) rather than individual skills (knowing fingerings, proper posture and hand position, tone production, reading music/rhythms). For the Lower School Orchestra, a student who can play relatively simple melodies with good rhythm and pitch is well suited to the group.

AT Pomfret School, the percentage of boarding at is approximately 75%.

Schools in US prefer students to have the followings:
- High level of English
- Good grades
- Good test scores
- Outstanding extracurricular activities
- Good interview
- Good essays

To prepare for the interviews, read more English books and watch a lot of US TV, talk to a lot of students who are native English speakers, go to summer school, etc.

In terms of extracurricular activities, it is important that whatever you do, the schools can see your passion. Meaning that if you play piano, they will want to see the grades you’ve achieved or prizes you’ve won, how your music teachers are very supportive of your efforts. Keep that up and many of the schools will be interested.
2016-10-22 09:09:51
For most schools, especially the top schools, you will need SSAT and TOEFL scores. And the reason is this. Although the schools will know how to read the ACTs, they also need to compare your child to the other students. And it is always more difficult to compare oranges with apples than apples with apples.

US schools stress both academics as well as extracurricular activities. High schools and colleges want students who are well rounded. It is important that the school will be able to cultivate in your child both excellence in academics as well as sports or arts.

The PSAT has two sections: Math and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. Students will encounter passage-based questions — sometimes accompanied by tables, graphs, and charts; and math problems drawing upon algebra, geometry, and a little trig.
Each section is scored on a scale of 160–760, making a “perfect” score 1520.

If the English standard of your child is not that good, then the earlier you go to school in the US, the better.
It will be difficult to get into a good school in the US if the English standard is not there.
Some boarding schools do not take students after 9th grade, especially the smaller ones, so your choice is limited.
US colleges would like to see school report for at least 3 years. Which means that your child needs to start getting good grades as soon as he/she is there. If you go in G10, there’s little preparation period.
Going early will allow your child to spend some time getting used to the curriculum and the way of teaching.

US boarding schools stress both academics as well as extracurricular activities. High schools and colleges want students who are well rounded. It is important that the school will be able to cultivate in your child both excellence in academics as well as sports or arts. Unless you are competing in the Varsity level, I don’t think your child will have too much sports. And even at a varsity level, the boarding schools do know that the students have to study. They will try not to overly stress the students.
2016-10-15 10:49:33
A study tour aims to provide students a quick summary of many highlighted activities and a brief experience of the boarding school life. While summer school will give your child extended opportunities to practice his or her English, and know more about the culture of the country. If you are going to summer school at the school you are applying to, it will help you understand more about the school’s atmosphere, the curriculum and the people there. So I would say summer school is the better choice if you have the time.
2016-10-15 10:48:55
It depends on how your child learns. Learning English is a longer term process, where your child needs to be exposed to on a continuous basis. I am not only talking about only having a Caucasian teacher, but to have your child read more English books and watch more US TV.

There are generally 2 good reasons to repeat a year. One is health. But you need to have sufficient documentations from doctors. The other reason is academics. Your child should only repeat a year with the recommendation from the school. Your child will need to explain in detail when he/she is applying to college.
2016-09-30 16:01:07
Yes definitely. It is one of the largest and most prestigious high school competitions in the world. It proves the ability of your child. Doing this will consume a lot of your child’s time and efforts, so be aware of the time and resources that your child needs to spend if your child is targeting this activity.
2016-09-29 16:10:08
This doesn’t make sense. All students in schools are required to take some sort of sports. Doesn’t matter if you applied on your own or if you applied through a consultant. Could it be that your child didn’t send in the health form? Some schools will not allow a student to participate in sports without a health form. You should write to the school to ask.
2016-09-29 16:09:48
For some schools, you can. But I still suggest that you take the SSAT since the school will be comparing your child to the other students. Also if you use the SAT, it will also appear to the school that you are not trying hard enough to take the SSAT.

The schools don’t only look at TOEFL or SSAT scores, but they also look at school grades, extracurricular activities, teacher recommendation and essays. Sometimes if your child is a very good student, but just doesn’t test well in standardized tests, you may be able to get into a higher level school than what is assumed by their ranking.

This is because in the US, the schools want the students to be mature and independent, and that is why they do not encourage students to have tutors. If students have questions about a certain subject, the teachers are generally very happy to work with the students after classes. Here are some other suggestions on how to be a successful student in the US. Some of the things are similar to China, but there are some other points that are unique to international school settings.

Try to encourage your child to develop the qualities of a successful student:
1. Make his or her studies a priority.
2. Be punctual.
3. Work honestly.
4. Stay focused.
5. Don’t compare him or herself to anyone else.
6. Work on making incremental progress.
7. Get excited about the material.
How to succeed in the classroom:
1. Pay attention.
2. Take notes.
3. Ask questions.
4. Participate.
5. Avoid distractions in the classroom.
6. Develop positive relationships with your teachers.
7. Sit near the teacher if you can.
How to succeed in his or her studies.
1. Create a game plan for each study session.
2. Plug his or her study sessions into the schedule.
3. Find a studying method that suits his or her learning style; find out whether he or she is a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner.
4. Take breaks.
5. Avoid distractions.
6. Use the school’s resources.
7. Be creative.
8. Get a study buddy or study group.
9. Remember to have fun.

All three are very good schools in California, with high average SAT/ACT scores, low student-teacher ratio, and receive good reviews from parents and students.

Crystal Springs Uplands School no longer offers AP-designated courses, while students are able to sit for AP tests administered on site. 100% of graduates are admitted by 4-­year colleges or universities, including Stanford, University of Southern California, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, Washington University - St Louis, and Northwestern University.

Around 20 AP courses are available at Menlo School. Matriculation to quality colleges like University of Southern California, Southern Methodist University, Tulane University, UC Berkeley and UC Davis.

AP courses are also available at San Francisco University High School. Around 20% of students matriculate to Ivy League, MIT or Stanford.

It’s not a must to have a school visit, while it may give you a clearer picture of the atmosphere, the curriculum and the people there.

G11 is the most rigorous year for students aiming for selective colleges. Even if your child is successful in transferring, your child will need a period of adjustment, and this period may affect his grades. Even though you do not like the school, your child should use this year to make sure that he takes as many AP classes as possible and get 5’s on them, work hard to get really good grades. A good student in a not-so-competitive school may even have better chances of getting into a good university than a not-so-good student in a very competitive school.

Academic advisors help students with academic issues and education progress. The academic advisor is an advocate who is interested in the student’s development.

Advisor helps student with 1) academic planning and course selection for current and upcoming semesters, 2) advice and planning during times of academic difficulty, and 3) referrals to resources in the school or the community.

Advisors are knowledgeable about programs and graduation requirements, policies, and procedures. They encourage and guide students to develop and pursue their goals.

That really depends on the student. My husband’s nephew took 15 APs altogether, so definitely some students can do it. Having said that, it is not going to be easy, but the colleges love students who are so passionate about studying, and are willing to stretch themselves to the fullest.

You need to keep closely in touch with your child's advisor so that you are aware of what is going on in your child's life. This way you can also alert his host family if something needs attention. Yes, you will need a counselor for high school to follow the academics/extracurricular that your child is doing, as well as applying to college - preferably someone who has studied in the US before.

Yes your friend is correct. The most common entry point for US college prep boarding schools is G10. That makes sense for many students because college preparatory studies usually cover a three year cycle. Most schools follow the AP program which begins in G10. You need really outstanding academics as well as extracurricular activities if you want to apply for G11.

Choose someone who has personal experience, either to have graduated from a boarding school or whose kids have applied would be one of the criteria. Second is the track record with the schools. However, if a student’s ability is far below the level the school wants, then the school will still not accept. If the student is only slightly below, there is a chance because of the relationship with the school.
2016-08-10 17:00:06
1)
Depends on the caliber of the school you are looking at. For example, Milton (which is a really good school) has K-8 (day) and 9-12 (day and boarding). Rather than looking at the grades that a school has, I would look at the overall quality of the school and whether it is a good fit for your child.
2)
Both 6-12 and 1-12 schools are about the same. Normally these boarding schools with lower (below G9) schools would have a different management/school team for lower and upper schools. But the important thing about going to these schools is that you don’t need to transfer to another school in G9 or G10 (like the junior boarding schools).
3)
US boarding schools stress BOTH academics as well as extracurricular activities. High schools and colleges want students who are well rounded. It is important that the school will be able to cultivate in your child both excellence in academics as well as sports or arts.
2016-08-10 16:58:57
My daughter got into Milton twice. The first time she went to Exeter instead of Milton but found that she should have gone to Milton as it is a better fit for her. The second time she applied on her own. The school wants students who have initiative, have leadership skills, are able to make friends easily, is strong academically, and speaks and write English well. My daughter says that the English program is very good there.
2016-08-08 14:40:54
They want students who have good character and are responsible. Leadership skills is important as well. They are also interested in students who are well rounded as they want them to participate in Music as well as Athletics, as well as are able to contribute to the community.
2016-08-08 14:40:07
Yes that is possible. But not for the top schools as those schools do not take students in the middle of the year. You would probably look at schools ranked 30-50. Some might still take students for Spring 2017.
2016-08-04 11:36:54
SSAT is generally very full in the big cities in China. Do apply early if you want to get a space. I know that a lot of students who apply late do not get a space and so will have to go to neighboring countries to take the tests.
2016-08-04 11:35:39
1)
You are correct. Suggest you get into a junior boarding school first and transfer to a high school later. This will give you more time to improve.

2)
If the junior school you are at has a high school division then you don't need to apply again. However, if the junior school you are at does not have a high school then you will need to apply to another school. At that time, for the top schools, you will need SSAT and TOEFL scores.

3)
For now your child will need to take TOEFL or TOEFL Junior test, SSAT (only for some schools and will be on their website). When you apply to high school, your child will need to take the SSAT again as well as the TOEFL.
2016-08-04 11:30:19
It is not necessarily a bad thing to have more international students at a school. But too many students from one country is not good. For example, at my alma mater PEA, the school prides itself on having a great diversity of students from many countries. But the school only takes one or two handfuls from China every year.

More schools are starting to take less Chinese students in recent years. Many of the top 50 schools will only take 2-3 girls and 2-3 boys.

Many schools do not disclose the number of Chinese students they have on the website. Only the total percentage of international students. Going for interviews and asking the interviewer is one way to find out.

The longer the better. But 2 weeks should be sufficient.
2016-07-28 09:41:00
Better to start in G9. 
Criterial:
- Size of school 
- Country or city
- Religious?
- Teacher to student ratio
- AP courses. How many?
- Kinds of sports
- Subjects you child interested in
2016-07-28 09:40:34
Earlier you leave the sooner your English will improve.
2016-07-28 09:38:08
Many religious schools are good schools. Even if there are religious courses, treat it as something extra that your child can learn. Any knowledge is good knowledge.
2016-07-28 09:37:40
Rent first is better. You can always buy later when you find the car that you like.
2016-07-28 09:36:26
Should be. Schools should let you do it even though you didn't take the course. Yes. It will show the colleges you are very competent in the subject. You may also get credits for some schools in some subjects.
2016-07-28 09:36:05
Depends on the school your child is going to and also on the school your child is applying to. GPA is same as A, B, C etc. But each school in China is different. So a 90 in one school is different than 90 in another school.
2016-07-22 09:07:21
You are absolutely correct! That is why it is important for your child to find a school that fits him or her. There are many good schools to choose from.

As schools in the US is NOT only about academics, it is important to look at different criteria that might affect the performance of your child. Here are some:
Large, medium or small school
Country or city school
Religious?
Rigorous academically or more athletic
Coeducational or single-sex
Traditional or progressive?
2016-07-22 09:06:42
6th or 7th grade
2016-07-22 09:06:03
Having volunteered for my alma mater for the last 30 years, I would say that the top universities in the US prefer students to have a high level of English. Many students in China are very smart, but they do not have speak or write English well. It is better to level as early as possible so that they are fluent in English.
2016-07-22 09:04:56
SSAT - Anywhere from 60 percentile and up. But probably need to be higher if you are from China.
TOEFL - Generally around 100 (if it is publicized in the admission website), and can be lower if you have other things going for you, i.e., teacher recommendations, extracurricular activities, etc.

兼顧學校學習和美高申請，在校成績會有影響，那學校成績主要關注哪些科目？需要達到多少分？
English, Math, Science, Arts, Music, PE (Sometimes the US schools will also look at Chinese grades). Cannot say how many points because the Chinese schools all have different standards. So 90 point at one school may mean something else at another school. But generally, would recommend your child to get around A, A-, B . 最佳回答

Community colleges are only for 2 years. They generally offer remedial education, GEDs, high school degrees, technical degrees and certificates, and a limited number of 4-year degrees. After graduating, students can transfer to a university or liberal arts college for two to three years to complete a bachelor's degree, or enter the workforce.

Latin is useful if your child wants to study medicine. It will help when he takes the SAT. But it is difficult and this class will take up a lot of his time.
2016-07-16 12:22:10
He should go to a school that is by the coast, like west coast, Hawaii, or the south east. You can also look at schools around Rhode Island where they had the America’s Cup a while back, as well as San Francisco and San Diego in recent years. Not a lot of students sail, and it will be something different when your child is applying to college.

I would recommend Uber since all the information is recorded with the company. I’ve taken this many times and it is relatively safe.
2016-07-14 13:50:03
Yes. It is a respectable grade. But more importantly, it is something that you can get credit at some schools. So do check with each school how many credits you can get.
2016-07-14 13:49:43
Yes you are correct. According to the Fall 2015 admission statistics, less than 10% are international students, excluding out-of-state students.
2016-07-14 13:49:03
As long as you have a diploma from your US high school and you have decent grades, you should be able to get into a 4-year college. There are many 4-year colleges in the US.
2016-07-13 10:42:11
Well...depends on how your child learns. But I believe that learning English is a longer term process, where your child needs to be exposed to on a continuous basis. I am not only talking about only having a Caucasian teacher, but to have your child read more English books and watch more US TV.
2016-07-13 10:41:42
Both are important because the schools will compare both scores and one shouldn’t differ too much from the other. That said, reading is the part where many Chinese students do not do as well.
2016-07-12 10:22:48
Yes, this is a very good choice if it is difficult for your child to get into a 4-year college.
2016-07-12 10:22:14
New York:
The Chapin School, Horace Mann School, Dalton School, The Stony Brook School and Trinity School

Boston:
Phillips Academy, Groton School, Deerfield Academy, Buckingham Browne & Nichols School, and Winsor School

These schools has high SAT/ACT scores, matriculation to quality colleges, and receives good reviews from students and parents.

Note that finding a suitable school for your child depends on many things. These include
- SSAT Scores
- TOEFL Scores
- School grades
- Extracurricular Activities
- Whether the student is interested in a large or small school, and city or country school.

So you would need more of the information above to choose the right schools for your daughter.

There is no machine design or programming in the regular curriculum. Their technology integration covers mainly on multimedia presentations, simulations, and analysis of data for their science and math courses. While here is an innovation lab for G9-12 and postgraduates, allowing students to enjoy an extended school day to work on inquiry-based projects, and choose from specialized elective courses in such areas as robotics, computer programming, 3-D design, information visualization, genetics, marine science.

The school has a decent SAT/ACT scores, and good in art. 最佳回答

Check with the motor vehicle department of each state you will drive in for its requirements. Some of the states will require an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to a valid license from your own country. To be safe, get an the International Driving Permit.
2016-07-11 13:52:45
There are schools. But aside from your TOEFL score, you also need to look at your grades, extracurricular activities, etc. The schools will also want to look at your essays and your interview skills. 最佳回答
2016-07-09 10:31:49
Depends on your school. But schools normally would expect you to do it for a term so there is no disruption to your child's education.

It is a top school in Idaho. It has high SAT/ACT scores, low student-teacher ratio. The school receives good reviews from students and parents, and matriculation to quality colleges like University of Pennsylvania, Stanford University, Yale University, and Columbia University.
2016-07-08 13:57:27
Both are very good schools, with high average SAT/ACT scores, and matriculation to quality colleges like Vanderbilt University, University of Georgia, University of Tennessee, and Duke University, and University of Texas - Austin.

Comparatively, McCallie School is strong in both academics and extracurriculars. It offers a wide variety clubs and organizations for students to get involved in.

One thing to note is that McCallie School is a boys school and the Webb School is co-ed. Generally speaking, a co-ed school is slightly more competitive in admission comparing to a single-sex school, while it also depends on the school.
