What are the benefits of separate education for girls

• Not all children are suited to be in the classroom with the opposite sex. Therefore, secondary education for girls has significant advantages, taking into account the following points
• Developmental characteristics. Girls usually outnumber boys both physically and emotionally, so they do not need to adapt to this gender characteristic of their classmates.
• Self-organizational skills. For girls, their grades are usually higher when they are not distracted from their studies; they are more likely to focus on their studies on girls' teams.
• Independence. When a girl is faced with complex hard work that no one else can do but her, that in itself is a motivation to develop self-sufficiency.

One of the important features of a child's education and school life is the wide range of extracurricular activities that allow you to develop a variety of skills and interests outside the school curriculum: sports and hobbies, dance and dramatic arts, music and art, public speaking, aerobics, philosophy, ceramics, gymnastics, etc. Girls participate in theatrical productions, sing in choirs and play in orchestras, and they take part in competitions at national and international level.

Extracurricular activities are conducted by experienced and qualified teachers, Who contributes to the best results.

• Community life

Boarding school students live in the community, so if someone is used to living in solitude, you will have to adapt. Children usually stay in rooms of 2-4 people until their senior year, and then in single rooms. Losing their personal space, they make lifelong friends. At the same time, the school is doing everything possible to allow students to continue communicating with old friends and beloved relatives. They are allowed to use the telephone and the Internet.

Living rooms are always bright and spacious, and each child has a bed, closet and work space. Many schools allow elementary school students to bring their pets.

• Food

The girls' school has a modern dining room where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily. All dishes are delicious, healthy and rich in micronutrients. The chef offers a vegetarian menu. In addition, meals can be prepared for special diets or religious requirements upon prior request. Most boarding houses have a kitchen where children can make sandwiches and snacks, and a store selling drinks and sweets.

• Preparing for life after school

Life at a girls' boarding school prepares you well for studying at university and for a professional career. Students at these institutions are tolerant, independent, able to think critically, care for others, and are compassionate. The experience of living in a boarding house teaches independence, but helps to appreciate the comforts of home and living with relatives.

• Country. The first step is to determine the country/region where you think the ideal school for your child is located. It can be a private boarding school in the United States or the United Kingdom, or an elite school in Europe. Thus, British independent schools are considered to be the most classical and strict, while European independent schools are the most adapted to the modern world and are liberal in terms of discipline.
• Types of schools. The most prestigious schools are those that, in addition to teaching, provide accommodation for schoolchildren and organize leisure activities. They are called boarding houses. Each boarding school has its own strict rules and uniforms, which are usually embroidered with the school's logo. In addition, any private girls' school has a leading educational orientation.
• Institutional Ratings. Like many public universities, a private boarding school has its own status. It can be a small but at the same time sturdy secondary school in the suburbs with a good level of language, or an elite complex with high requirements for the core subjects presented. When choosing the most suitable option for your child, pay attention to the curriculum he will study and correlate it with the level of readiness at the time of entry.
• Child characteristics. Some children up to a certain age feel more comfortable in same-sex teams. In the absence of boys, many girls are more talented. They are not distracted by the constant attention to their appearance and the importance of proving themselves in a childlike environment, and are fully immersed in their studies. Many of them demonstrate knowledge in the most unexpected "places" such as physics, architecture, sports, etc.

What aspects and criteria do parents consider when choosing a school, in addition to academic success?

Accommodation conditions, sports opportunities, catering and additional clubs and clubs organized by the school, proximity to the school of residences or host families are very important.

First of all, it is worth remembering that in most prestigious schools, applications for admission should be submitted long before education begins. Sometimes this has to be done over several years, but most often it is 1-2 years. And school selection should be done at least about 2-3 years before admission.

Usually, the admissions process is no different from the requirements for other schools. But, of course, it is important to have a good understanding of your child's personality, temperament and interests before deciding on a school. Not all children are suitable for a school with separate education.

Then, be sure to read carefully the admission conditions, language level requirements and only then prepare all the documents for the study visa.

Today, ratings play a huge role; you can find statistics on almost any fact, including data from the field of education. Of course, there are also data on the cost of attending a girls' school: according to the data, in 2022, the average cost of education will be $12,000.

However, these figures are only a guideline. Many factors will influence the final cost.

In addition to the classes themselves, parents have to pay for food and insurance, textbooks, uniforms, participation in cultural activities, creative activities, additional English classes, etc. for their children. Of course, the cost of education is influenced by the number of classes, the quality of infrastructure, the living conditions in the boarding apartment and the professionalism of the teachers by the equipment.

Education in public schools is free of charge. However, they are available for foreign students only if the parents move to live in this country.
