Why International school?
The world's elite education organizations bring together educational institutions, educators and governments to offer international education programs that will meet the needs of the 21st century. Cambridge and IB education is one of the most successful programs accepted worldwide.
These programs, which aim to raise students with intercultural respect, international awareness, superior language skills, analytical, critical and creative thinking rather than rote knowledge, are the most important elements of the international school concept.
The benefit of a multicultural environment in developing the consciousness and language skills that international education programs aim to provide students with is undeniable. Students who are together with teachers and students from different cultures internalize respect for different cultures, awareness of their own cultures and the culture of co-production with our differences more easily.
In addition to all these, the activities that students from different nationalities do together and the social relationships they establish play an important role in developing their language skills. The intensive dual foreign language education provided by international programs permeates students' entire lives outside the classroom.
One of the important benefits of an international school is that it provides dual foreign language education. Knowing more than one foreign language not only provides students with an international vision, cultural awareness and intellectual background, but also improves their creative and analytical thinking, empathy, communication, time management and multitasking skills.
Above all, international school students gain the vision of being a citizen of the world. They learn that working together for a more livable world is both possible and necessary.
In addition to this important value, some of the student's achievements include
Chance of admission to the world's elite universities
International career opportunities
Superior language skills
International consciousness
Intercultural respect
Creative, analytical, critical thinking ability
Continuous development approach
There are several differences between international schools and traditional schools:
Cultural Diversity and Foreign Language: International schools usually host students from different cultures and offer education in more than one language. Traditional schools usually have a more homogeneous student body and usually only one native language.
Curriculum: International schools often adopt international curricula and provide students with international certifications. These curricula usually offer a broader perspective and focus on students' development as global citizens. Traditional schools usually follow national curricula and are based on local standards.
Academic Standards: International schools generally have high academic standards and offer students individualized attention, often in small class sizes. Traditional schools, on the other hand, usually have larger class sizes and a wider student-teacher ratio.
Pricing: International schools generally have higher fees and may require a larger financial investment from students' families. Traditional schools, on the other hand, often offer more affordable or free government-funded education options.
Campus and Resources: International schools can often have modern facilities and extensive resources. This gives students more opportunities and often offers a variety of facilities such as gyms, libraries, art studios and laboratories. Traditional schools may have more limited resources due to public funding and facilities may be more often basic.
