官方回答Nathan Wright Director回答于03/16/2022Good evening,
What great choices to have! Many of our top students at Cheshire Academy - both American and Chinese - had similar choices but chose Cheshire. There are many reasons to do so including: personalized attention, supportive environment, or even our location.
Cheshire Academy promotes the IB program which emphasizes critical thinking and understanding over memorization and recitation. We help our students learn to help themselves AND others, and although we are fiercely competitive on the athletics fields, we are not competitive amongst ourselves academically.
Many people prefer this support atmosphere of working together to make sure that all classmates and friends learn, and these teamwork skills are transferable into "the real world." Our top students go on to all of the top Universities, and if that was your child's destiny it could be fulfilled at either school.
It may be easier though to have this explained to you by a current parent, student, or even alumni. They could better describe why they made their choice and what it has meant to them. Please let me know, and I would be happy to arrange that.
Kind regards,
Nathan Wright

1. 今年Cheshire真的是对大陆学生敞开了大门,会有相当一定比例的中国学生涌入。所以这个4年后真正会是一个什么走势,很可能变成两极分化,头部学生考取名校,中等及以下的学生陪跑。所以要看下学生自己实力了。
2. 德州的episcopal,之前有说过,这所学校部分课程,老师速度非常快,跟得上的学生能学到很多很深的知识,跟不上的学生会被无情抛弃(如果自己再没有奋起直追和自学能力的话,就非常艰难,也不会得到老师很多资源及重视),这一点和国内部分学校课堂非常相似,我举个贴切的例子,比如化学课,考试中等的学生是几乎不会被老师点名问问题的,然而如果这个学生靠自己的努力考到了前列,老师会让学生讲题,在课件上帮老师完成一些解题思路,甚至某个周日会去老师家里聚餐bbq。
3. Frederick今年招的学生水平要高于过去2年的水平。尤其是英语能力强的学生有很多,这一点很大几率是Frederick想提升自己学生质量来实现下自己在寄宿美高中的排名及水平。这所学校有很大一部分学生较佛系,对美本名校没有太大的狂热追求。(Frederick对中国学生的管理还是很不错的,招生官还有微信,和家长沟通很密切)
综上,如果孩子是那种被打击了还能越挫越勇的,我推荐德州的episcopal。其次是Frederick。 -
The Frederick Gunn School has had outstanding early admissions to colleges this academic year. Some of the schools our international students have received offers to are Cornell, Brown, University of Pennsylvania - Wharton School of Business, Yale, Boston University, Columbia University and Johns Hopkins. We are a small school with very strong academic results. I hope your child chooses to go Gunn!

推荐选圣斯蒂芬教会学校 (St. Stephen's Episcopal School TX) --TX。我先后辅导过几位该校的学生,感觉学校非常重视学术,学业压力不小。中国留学生相互之间的竞争也比较激烈。但毕业生出路不错。此外,中国留学生如果在德州高中读完四年,上德州的公立大学可以享受本州学费,一年可省 $26,000. 长远看,德州的发展前景非常好?。
如果喜欢IB文凭项目,柴郡中学 (Cheshire Academy) --CT可以考虑。IB文凭有一定的难度,可以学得更深一些,上大学会更容易过渡一些。此外,它提供的寄宿学校生活和课外活动更有代表性。 -
肯定选sses

从学术和大学走向来看,建议 SSES。
