International school is the best gift
Description
Book Introduction
"International Schools: The Best Gift" is a book written by Eunsoo Choi, a graduate of an IB International School in China and a law school in the UK. It is based on in-depth interviews with over 40 Korean students attending various international schools around the world, as well as the author's own personal experiences.
Over the years, countless parents have approached the author to share their practical concerns about international school education, including academic writing, subject selection, and planning extracurricular activities.
This book contains practical answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
In particular, I wanted to convey my sincerity from a daughter's perspective to parents who want to understand their children, such as those who are stressed due to living abroad and those who have difficulty communicating during adolescence.
This book covers the following key topics: It analyzes the most pressing concerns parents have about private tutoring, academies, pre-learning, and subject combinations, and presents strategies to save time and money. It also guides students through the structure and critical thinking skills of the IB-style academic writing, demonstrating how to accurately address descriptive questions.
We provide a roadmap for each grade level on extracurricular activities and portfolio management for admission to prestigious universities, helping students prepare with confidence rather than anxiety.
By unraveling the diverse admissions systems and the emotional challenges of living abroad through the eyes of actual graduates, we help students understand and prepare for their children's trials and errors. In a rapidly changing era, driven by AI and other technologies, the competitiveness of an IB education and the value of international schools are becoming increasingly important.
"International Schools: The Best Gift" will be an essential practical guide for parents seriously considering their children's potential and future path.
