by Vaibhav Tripathi Financer Blogger

Have you always wondered about sending your child to an international school but are worried about the rumors that your neighbor or friend told you about international schools? This article will help to solve your confusion regarding the international schools and the education in them. You will find it surprising how good international schools could be for the bright future of your child. The international schools in Pune are the most famous in the country right now. You can visit the website of the schools and find out more about them.

  • Only good for international higher studies

The one common myth about international schools is that it is only for the students who wish to study abroad for university. Whereas we can give you thousands of examples of students who complete their education from international school and are successfully pursuing an undergraduate degree from one of the top colleges in India. This is to say, the international schools prepare you for the best colleges and universities. You can apply now to avail of this benefit.

  • Mostly for foreign students

Another misconception about international students is that they are mostly for foreign students. If you ever visit the campus of any international school, you will find that that most of the students are Indian. If you are still not convinced you can read about the policy of international schools where it is mentioned that a large part of school students will be from India.

  • Same curriculum for all schools

Most people think that all international schools have the same curriculum. While the curriculums that are taught in international schools are developed in a way that way enhance the personality and the mind of the students, this is not at all true that all curriculum is the same. Different schools follow different international curriculums. These curriculums are advanced as compared to the syllabus taught in the national and state-level schools. 

  • International education is very easy

Now, the international schools focus on the practical level of education but this in no sense means that education in these schools is very easy. The students can choose what subjects they wish to study and then they have regular assignments and grading systems related to the subjects they have chosen to study. This way students understand more rather than just sitting in class only to attend a lecture given by teachers and not participating in discussions or practical activities.

  • No theoretical education

One of the biggest myths that prevail in society is that international schools do not provide theoretical education to the students. This is a huge lie because in order to pass a class the students have to go through a written assessment of the subjects. The grades they get in the exam are added to their overall performance for that class. Even though the international schools believe in teaching the application of concepts to students, in no way the theory is left behind.
