For a child, studying in Europe is a great chance to get a prestigious job in life: obtaining a well-paid job and see the world. But there are also a number of features that few people talk about...
Consider the age of the child
Parents, sending their children to study in another country, do not always take into account child psychology. For example, at the age of 6-8, a child is often still strongly attached to relatives, it is important for him to be close to loved ones. It is best to send children abroad between the ages of 10 and 15: children are already independent and can easily learn a foreign language. But all children are different, so you need to take into account the psychological characteristics of yours.
Learning a foreign language
Schoolchildren study abroad because there they can easily master a foreign language. In order for the child to socialize more quickly, even before leaving, he should start attending lessons that teach in the studied language, you can hire a tutor, send the child to language camps or tourist trips abroad.
Good atmosphere
In many European boarding schools (for example, in America, England, Switzerland or Italy), teachers do not punish students, they bring up critical thinking in them, and creativity is only welcome. Therefore, the child will be comfortable, fun and safe here.
Complex adaptation process
Parents often worry that it will be difficult for children away from home, especially when everyone around them speaks a non-native language. Therefore, private boarding schools have psychologists and educators who help students adapt faster - each newcomer quickly gets used to it and feels at home.
Communicate with your child
Different time zones and rhythms of life can distance you from your child, so it is important to write and call each other, take an interest in each other's affairs. Fortunately, now there are social networks and messengers that will help you stay in touch 24/7!
Students choose subjects themselves
In many boarding schools, students choose subjects that interest them, and after graduation they go to numerous clubs. This develops children in many ways, they reveal their creative potential.
Opportunity to travel
Schools organize tours to cities and countries, where everyone can see cities, get acquainted with cultures and see the sights. This is a great chance for a child, so he can visit different parts of the world!
A chance to enter the best universities in the world
In foreign schools, students can prepare for admission to the best universities in the world: Oxford, Cambridge , etc. A-level and IB preparation programs will help them with this, where students receive the necessary knowledge and successfully pass final exams (these programs are very poorly represented in Russia).
