The Benefits of an International Education

There are lots of reasons why parents favour an international education for their children. International schools expose pupils to a range of different people, who have unique cultural backgrounds and spoken languages, which not only represents an authentic, real-world environment, but also encourages a sense of respect towards diversity and inclusivity. Consequently, children who have attended an international school are typically well-prepared for life beyond their education.

For families who move around a lot, due to work commitments or for other reasons, international schools are a good option because they cater to language barriers. As many of the students will speak different languages, children are given a unique opportunity to work on their communication skills. What’s more, international schools give children a chance to interact with people from all over the world, who may have different religious beliefs or cultural traditions, building a strong foundation for cultural awareness and equality.

 

Usually, an international education means a unique curriculum, often offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) which is committed to internationality and community spirit, giving youngsters a global perspective. The IBDP teaches students a variety of key skills, is taught and recognised all over the world and is regarded by most leading universities.

 

When students attend a school in their native country, they have all of their creature comforts on hand, which means there is less need for them to be independent. Alternatively, when a child attends an international school, they are given a chance to broaden their horizons and take on unique challenges, which ultimately leads to increased confidence and self-sufficiency. This is fantastic preparation for university, where most young people tend to move away from home anyway.

Hi and welcome to The Willow Tree. I’m Michelle, also known as Shel and I am a mama to three beautiful crazy kids – I have two handsome boys and a wild and wonderful girl.

I really wanted a concrete place to share my love for travel, in particular Disney and offer my readers a chance to gain some knowledge around what we love to do as a family of 5.

I share our family adventures which include days out, travel advice and tips, holiday reviews, restaurant visits and of course, our love for Disney, including Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney World.

Life is about creating memories, and here we are sharing them with you

xoxo
