Preparing and planning for the future can be stressful for students, especially when there are so many decisions to be made that will shape your future education and career prospects. Studying at an international school can help students realize their full potential, supporting them along their journey and opening many doors for them along the way. If you are looking for an international school for your child, IGCSE in Singapore can meet the demands you are looking for.
Here are 3 ways international schools prepare students for post-secondary education.
Support with decision-making
In an international school setting, students have access to a wealth of resources designed to support them throughout their educational career. At Alice Smith, we believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to making a decision that will impact your children’s future.
Some children know exactly what it is they want to do when they grow up, some change their mind or have circumstances change halfway through their education and others simply have no idea. We strongly believe in providing our students with as much information as possible to help them make an informed decision. We want to ensure they know all the options open to them and help guide them where they are unsure.
We do this through our Higher Education (HE) Programme. It a resource dedicated to our student’s success. It’s specifically designed to guide our students towards their future aspirations and works hard to help them get into their ‘right fit’ university. Students get access to experienced staff members that can help them identify their strengths, weaknesses and help them through their decision-making process.
This also includes exploring opportunities that students may not have previously considered, or been aware of, and explaining how they can progress to potential study and career paths.
Range of subjects provide more post-secondary opportunities
A rich and varied curriculum is one of the many assets of an international school. Being able to study a wide range of subjects ensures that students are exposed to new opportunities to discover their skills, passions and talents. It also means that they learn essential material that will help them gain entry to top universities across the world.
At Alice Smith School our students benefit from a robust, innovative curriculum modelled on the English National Curriculum that covers essential subjects as well as more specialised courses like the arts and sports. We also offer a varied range of extracurricular activities for students to dive into, where they can explore their passions, develop their skillset and broaden their horizons outside of academia.
Proven track record for progression to higher education institutions
International schools open many doors for their pupils. They help their students gain entry to universities across the world thanks to their curriculum and style of teaching.
Alice Smith School have a proven track record of students progressing to top universities all over the world, with exemplary grades. Since the implementation of the HE programme, there has been a drastic increase in the number of students accepted into renowned universities across the world.
The application processes for these institutions are time-intensive, and students are sometimes either unaware of where to start with the application requirements or thought these institutions were out of their reach. Through our HE programme, they have realised they can achieve entry to these universities, and are given dedicated support throughout the application process, ensuring their success.
