Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Sorry for the late response. I wanted to check on their current admission situation so I've called and talked to the admission officers.
Out of Trinity, Collegiate, Brearley, Horace Mann, and Dalton, Horace Mann is the only school that is interested in taking international students and it's the only school that gives I-20.
Trinity School, Collegiate School, Brearley School, Horace Mann, and Dalton School are all very good day schools that run from K-12 in NY State. All of these schools are very hard to get into even as an American resident. Most of these schools do not give out I-20 form, which you need to apply for student Visa F1, and only accept residents of NY, CT, NJ, or other states close by. To apply to these schools, the student and parents need to be American residents.
So if you are not American resident, you might want to think of other day schools that provide I-20 or boarding schools near New York.
These five schools are open for applications only for 9th grade for high school (regardless of international or domestic residents), and if the students want to apply for 10&11th grade, they will be wait listed, and they don't accept students in 12th grade.
The only international students that are currently in their school are ones that the family moved to NY and has residence card.
Also, most of the 9th grade students just move up from 8th grade within the same school so opening space for new student is very slim.
嗨,
谢谢您的问题。
很抱歉迟了些时间回复!。因为我认为必须要马上与这些顶尖学校的招生主任马上确认,是否在招生策略上有无更新!所以我一一的打电话给这些学校做最新的确认。
从 Trinity, Collegiate, Brearley, Horace Mann, and Dalton, 只有Horace Mann学校是目前唯一对于国际学生招生有兴趣的,并可以发给I-20的学校,其余的学校目前为止都尚未开放招生国际学生。
都是美国顶尖在纽约区的重点走读学校,年级从幼儿园,一年级到12年级都有, 所有的这些学校都是非常难进,甚至对于当地的美国人来说不是有钱就可以入读的学校。大多数这些学校并不提供给国际学生I - 20表 ,也就是说对于外国学生的条件,必须申请的是F1学生签证(家长因为工作任职或投资的原因,取得全家可以申请签证入住美国的外国人)并且只限纽约的居民, 康涅狄格州,新泽西,或者靠近纽约很近的州县。申请这几个学校必须是美国居民或合法取的美国居民权的外国人。
所以,如果你不是美国居民,那么你得考虑其他邻近纽约有招收国际学生或提供I – 20签发权的走读学校或者邻近的私立住宿制学校。
目前最新信息是这五个学校只有招收九年级的高中学生(国际或美国居民),如果您想申请 11或 10年级目前可以安排在候补名单中 ,他们目前不招收12年级的学生了。
目前这五所学校中只有一位国际学生,这名学生全家都有绿卡,也都搬到纽约住了。
并且大部分的九年级学生是从本校八年级直升上去的,对外招生的名额实在凤毛麟角。
至于你提到的男校Collegiate School,相对于混合学校,男校有什么优缺点?
我不知道你对于小孩就美国读书的设定目标,显而易见的你的小孩是位男孩。其中Brearley是个日间走读女校。我自小即独自出国入读美国寄宿制初中到高中,我对于孩子们身处异乡所遇到的种种困难深有体会, 能够充分理解国际学生于美国留学所需要的申请条件与名校校园学习所需要的协助,我经常往返美国中学,我两个的弟弟妹妹都在新英格兰州读中学,都是我本人亲自实践操作申请,我自身就是美国中学的圈内人,我想留学应该是整套量身订做一套培养系统,包含美国学习照护的全方位服务,让孩子实现学业上的成功以至超越自我。
