A child’s schooling days are indeed the best times of their lives. It’s also the most the crucial. After all, good, quality education is the single most important driving force for peaceful, equitable, and prosperous development.

So, if education is important, then the school that imparts them is equally as important. As the world moves towards globalisation, gifting a child with an open outlook and an approach that incorporates the best ideas and new practices from all over the world is perhaps one the best things a parent can do. What better place for that than an international school.

Here are 5 benefits that students from international schools enjoy…

#1 They develop better social skills

It is vital that a child gets the best classroom education through a broad and balanced curriculum. But education in an international school goes beyond the academic. It also places equal importance on social skills such as communication and creativity, emotional development, participation in the community, and helping students understand themselves.

 #2 They enjoy personalised learning curriculum

From personality to home environment, there are so many factors that shape a child and his or her learning ability. But at an international school, students receive a highly personalised learning and development plan designed to drive academic results as well as provide a good platform for students to excel in sports, music, and language.

#3 They have access to better facilities and teachers

Speaking of highly personalised learning and international exposure, students at an international school can expect smaller class sizes and a more comprehensive list of facilities that aid learning. Couple that with expatriate teachers that bring years of experience and up-to-date technologies and infrastructures, it’s no surprise that they are better equipped for the future.

#4 The students, parents, and teachers share positive relationships

A good international school understands the importance of cultivating and maintaining a good relationship between its teachers, students, and parents. Through these relationships, a school can build a happy environment for learning, as well as allowing teachers to partner and educate parents about holistic education.

#5 The parents’ opinions matter

It’s no secret that enrolling your child in an international school will cost more than enrolling in a public school. But most international schools uphold a mandate of transparency and accountability. A feedback system in the form of continuous engagement with parents is often in place.
