After one year of attending an international school, what is the biggest change in the child?
Parents say this!
❤️ Sharing from Hyman's mom!
One year ago, the two things I worried most about
When our family first decided to let our child attend an international school, to be honest, I was quite anxious.
Would they fall behind if their English wasn't good enough?
Are international schools too "relaxed," leading to a lack of solid learning?
Friends around us all said, "International schools are all about playing,"
But I hoped more for my child to grow up in an environment that respects individuality and encourages expression.
So, we gritted our teeth and chose HIS!
✨ One year later, the changes in my child amazed me!
One evening, he came to me with a PPT and said:
"Mom, I have a presentation tomorrow, help me practice my spoken English."
I was stunned at that moment—was this the same kid who used to be afraid to read English texts? 🤩
The teacher told me that over this year, he has learned teamwork, researching issues, and sharing opinions.
It's not passive learning, but active exploration. 🔍
The biggest change isn't actually in the grades 📝
In the past, he used to ask, "What score did I get?"
Now, he asks, "Why is it like this?" and "Are there other possibilities?"
In project-based learning (PBL),
children are encouraged to ask questions, debate, and express different ideas. 💡
Gradually, he has become more confident and more assertive. ✨
📜 The "harvest list" from this year
✅ English improved to the point of being able to independently complete presentations
✅ Learned to look up information and conduct their own research
✅ Became braver in expressing themselves
✅ Became more empathetic—will actively comfort friends
These changes
are brought about by the "subtle and gradual" educational atmosphere at HIS every day.
As a parent, the one thing I most want to say is
"He hasn't just improved in grades; his whole person has brightened up." ✨
It turns out the true meaning of education
is to let children find the joy and direction in learning.
At HIS, I see a child who is "seen and respected."
What surprising changes have you seen in your child after they started attending an international school?
