    How much do International Schools actually benefit your child?

    The last ten years has seen tremendous growth in the numbers of international schools in India and in particular, internationals schools in Mumbai. At a casual glance, we can ascertain that the reason behind this was the dissatisfaction with the state and national board schools, many from parents own personal experience of school. While international schools have become a popular choice for parents today, there are still many who are unsure of what are the exact benefits of having your child in one of them.
    To truly understand these schools we should look at the many positive things that they bring to the academic environment rather than make a comparison with the state and national schools (though some unavoidable comparisons will appear). The reason behind this is that many international systems have been in existence for a number of years or are following on from older traditions in modern forms. It is important to understand that none of these systems are reactionary systems and have been developed to provide quality education.


    1. Universally accepted certification: International schools offer universally accepted certification that ensures that your child does not miss out on any opportunities to study further. The certification boards are prestigious and maintain a high quality level and students that receive these certifications are held in high esteem by universities around the world.


    2. A global syllabus for a global world: Thanks to information technology and liberalised economies the world has gotten more familiar with itself than at any time before. This creates a compulsion to make sure that knowledge of the world goes beyond just a hobby. International school syllabuses are tailor made so that students understand the differences and similarities of the world and are able to understand people from everywhere beyond the realm of language.


    3. Multi-disciplinary syllabus: International schools offer a multi-disciplinary syllabus so students are under pressure to choose their specialised career paths at a young age. It also helps develop students that are proficient in a variety of knowledge bases that are beneficial in an environment where multi-speciality individuals are sought after in the working world.


    4. Low student-to-teacher ratio: International school classrooms are much smaller than classrooms in standard Indian schools. This allows teachers to have more personal time with each student so that they get the most out of their learning years.


    5. All-round education: Besides academics, international schools ensure that students also learn from a variety of non-academic subjects and programmes such as sports, dramatics, music and social service. All of these non-academic activities are important for the development of young, well adjusted and healthy minds.

    International Schools in India enhance the Child's learning ability not only in academics but other interests as well. The curriculum helps a child to know his strengths and weaknesses at the earlier stage. Teaching methods with the help of technology bridges that gap between the parents and the school. This is helpful in tracking a child's progress continuously. The participation in other extra-curricular activities takes a child's learning skill to the next level. The community work and other programmes enable a child to be a better person in the society. These are the reasons why I have chosen Orchids The International School in Bangalore for my kid as it is very nearby to my residence.

    The students at International schools are not stressed unlike other schools. Their curriculum is designed in such a way to make learning a pleasurable experience. My son is also studying in an international school in Bangalore which follows CBSE syllabus.

    I would say international schools are the best place for the children to improve their learning and skills simultaneously. The one reason what made me to tick the international school in Bangalore is the ability to train the kids to embark on a school journey filled with academics and other activities which make them to think creatively ,to learn and to grow

    Hello, according to me international schools do benefit the children in various ways. One of my friend had her child in the international schools and I found it really good for him. The international school students seem to be more confident and boosted and seem to be ready for everything. The schools have them well prepared for probably everything especially how to deal with the outside world. These schools develop the way of thinking and make it better as compared to normal schools. These schools also tell their children to aim high. So I personally feel that these schools are very beneficial.

    The various things taught in international schools are not taught in the normal SSC schools. The way to study and deal with different matters, having a different perspective of things is what is taught in these schools. They also prepare the children for future and different kind of exam which are given out of the school. These school teach various things like proper time management, skill management, analysing a critical situation and also helps child learn independent thinking. Children here can also participate in some international competitions. You can say that these school children are a bit smarter than the national board students.

    Putting your child in an international school helps him develop his or her talking and communication skills, behaviour and it is seen that student learning from an international school is well prepared to face the outside world and has more knowledge about it other than his peers who are studying in the national board schools. It is considered to be top class education and comes under number one ranking. The children are also taught self-management skills, protection of environment, self-defence and many other things which are beneficial for him. You can make out a difference between the children studying in international school and other schools.

    Studying in an international school with students from all over the world is a very good opportunity to learn new things daily. It is a fact that the child’s communication skills will definitely develop when he deals with different kids. Sharing, caring and helping will be understood when all the children with different backgrounds have to cope together. In future this can be very useful when your child will have to deal overseas or with foreigners, these communication skills will help him out. I totally feel international schools are beneficial and I highly recommend parents to look forward to it.

    Though not every one of us can afford to send our child to an international school, but I can say that those schools are the best and can help your child to shape as a confident and mature person. Children who study in this school are tend to be more independent in their thinking and working. Their thoughts are shaped into positive thoughts and learn to think creatively. Going to these schools can change your child’s personality overall and can be a help in shaping him for the future. I hope there are many more international schools opening in India.
