Foreign education provides the person who received it with great opportunities. This is the improvement of knowledge of a foreign language, and the broadening of horizons, and the opportunity to make useful contacts. The prestige of receiving such an education is also an important factor that determines the choice of many parents in favor of such education for their children. So how do you send your child to study abroad?
It is necessary
- - funds to pay for tuition;
- - a computer;
- - access to the Internet;
- - reference publications dedicated to education abroad.
Instructions
Step 1
Consider your financial ability to fund such training. The vast majority of scholarships are for students and academics, and you will have to pay out of pocket for your child's high school tuition. The money will be needed not only to pay for the tuition fees, but also for living, which is likely to be more expensive abroad than in Russia.
Step 2
Select the type of training program. If the child has an insufficient level of a foreign language, you should start learning with language courses. Also decide on the duration of your studies. For children who previously did not part with their parents for a long time, leaving for another country for a whole year, a complete change of environment can become a lot of stress. For such a child, a short-term program, for example, summer courses, is suitable. If everything suits you and the child, the training can be extended.
Step 3
Decide on the country where you want to send your child. If you are interested in English-language programs, pay attention not only to the United States and Great Britain, but also to such countries less known for their educational traditions as Australia or Canada. You can often find very interesting programs there at a lower price.
Step 4
Find a specific training program. This can be done by contacting one of the specialized agencies or by finding the program yourself. This can be done using the specialized press or on the websites of the educational institutions you are interested in. Also, in large cities, specialized exhibitions devoted to school education abroad are regularly held, where you can get a lot of useful information.
If your city has a cultural center of the country where you are going to send your child, contact there - they can also provide services to find educational programs.
Step 5
Enroll your child in the chosen program and pay the required amount. This can be either full or partial tuition fees. After payment, do not forget to ask for a confirmation document about the child's enrollment in an educational institution. Keep this document with you until your child leaves.
Step 6
Make the necessary arrangements. Sign up the child for a visa, if the child is flying without parents - alone or with an accompanying person - issue a permit for the child to leave from one or both parents from a notary. If the departure to study coincides with the school year, settle all the formalities at the Russian school - meet with the head teacher, discuss how the child will be credited for this year's education and how the fourth and annual grades will be given. If the child leaves for study abroad completely, take the child's documents from the Russian school.
