官方回答Nathan Wright Director回答于03/16/2022Good evening,
What great choices to have! Many of our top students at Cheshire Academy - both American and Chinese - had similar choices but chose Cheshire. There are many reasons to do so including: personalized attention, supportive environment, or even our location.
Cheshire Academy promotes the IB program which emphasizes critical thinking and understanding over memorization and recitation. We help our students learn to help themselves AND others, and although we are fiercely competitive on the athletics fields, we are not competitive amongst ourselves academically.
Many people prefer this support atmosphere of working together to make sure that all classmates and friends learn, and these teamwork skills are transferable into "the real world." Our top students go on to all of the top Universities, and if that was your child's destiny it could be fulfilled at either school.
It may be easier though to have this explained to you by a current parent, student, or even alumni. They could better describe why they made their choice and what it has meant to them. Please let me know, and I would be happy to arrange that.
Kind regards,
Nathan Wright

The Frederick Gunn School has had outstanding early admissions to colleges this academic year. Some of the schools our international students have received offers to are Cornell, Brown, University of Pennsylvania - Wharton School of Business, Yale, Boston University, Columbia University and Johns Hopkins. We are a small school with very strong academic results. I hope your child chooses to go Gunn!

1. 今年Cheshire真的是對大陸學生敞開了大門,會有相當一定比例的中國學生涌入。所以這個4年后真正會是一個什么走勢,很可能變成兩極分化,頭部學生考取名校,中等及以下的學生陪跑。所以要看下學生自己實力了。
2. 德州的episcopal,之前有說過,這所學校部分課程,老師速度非常快,跟得上的學生能學到很多很深的知識,跟不上的學生會被無情拋棄(如果自己再沒有奮起直追和自學能力的話,就非常艱難,也不會得到老師很多資源及重視),這一點和國內(nèi)部分學校課堂非常相似,我舉個貼切的例子,比如化學課,考試中等的學生是幾乎不會被老師點名問問題的,然而如果這個學生靠自己的努力考到了前列,老師會讓學生講題,在課件上幫老師完成一些解題思路,甚至某個周日會去老師家里聚餐bbq。
3. Frederick今年招的學生水平要高于過去2年的水平。尤其是英語能力強的學生有很多,這一點很大幾率是Frederick想提升自己學生質(zhì)量來實現(xiàn)下自己在寄宿美高中的排名及水平。這所學校有很大一部分學生較佛系,對美本名校沒有太大的狂熱追求。(Frederick對中國學生的管理還是很不錯的,招生官還有微信,和家長溝通很密切)
綜上,如果孩子是那種被打擊了還能越挫越勇的,我推薦德州的episcopal。其次是Frederick。 -
從學術和大學走向來看,建議 SSES。

肯定選sses

推薦選圣斯蒂芬教會學校 (St. Stephen's Episcopal School TX) --TX。我先后輔導過幾位該校的學生,感覺學校非常重視學術,學業(yè)壓力不小。中國留學生相互之間的競爭也比較激烈。但畢業(yè)生出路不錯。此外,中國留學生如果在德州高中讀完四年,上德州的公立大學可以享受本州學費,一年可省 $26,000. 長遠看,德州的發(fā)展前景非常好?。
如果喜歡IB文憑項目,柴郡中學 (Cheshire Academy) --CT可以考慮。IB文憑有一定的難度,可以學得更深一些,上大學會更容易過渡一些。此外,它提供的寄宿學校生活和課外活動更有代表性。
