Embrace the International Stage, Set Sail for a Brighter Future | International High School Enrollment Guide
2025-07-11
To the students who are about to enter international high school:
This new journey will open the door to the world for you, shaping your independent personality and broadening your horizons. To help you take this important step with more confidence and ease, we have specially prepared this detailed guide for preparing for enrollment. Please pay close attention to the following key aspects and make full use of the precious time before school starts to prepare:
English Proficiency Improvement: Unbounded Communication, Confident Expression
Language ability is the cornerstone of your studies, life, and future development at Yinghua. Facing the upcoming all-English or bilingual teaching environment and abundant cross-cultural exchange opportunities, a solid English foundation, especially practical communication skills, is crucial. Please treat the summer vacation as a key period for improving your English.
Core Suggestions:
- Strengthen spoken English confidence: Practice English listening and speaking every day. Don't strive for perfection; the key is to dare to speak and get used to listening. This can be achieved by watching English movies and TV shows (try hiding subtitles), listening to English podcasts/news, or having simple conversations with partners.
- Create a language environment: Actively participate in online/offline English corners and look for opportunities to practice.
- Preview subject vocabulary: Learn the keywords and basic concepts of core subjects in the new first year of high school (such as mathematics, science, and humanities) in English in advance to reduce initial language pressure.
- Develop the habit of recording: Carry a small notebook with you to record new expressions or useful sentence patterns encountered in life, and review them regularly.
Psychological Adjustment: Embrace Change, Adapt Positively
Transitioning from familiar junior high school to a new international high school means that the learning model, evaluation system, and social circles will all undergo significant changes. While feeling excited and expectant, you may also experience some nervousness or confusion, which is perfectly normal. A positive attitude and sufficient preparation are key to a smooth transition.
Core Suggestions:
- Accept the adaptation process: Recognize that adaptation takes time, allow yourself a gradual adjustment period, and don't demand immediate perfection.
- Proactively understand the environment: Learn about the characteristics of the international curriculum (such as inquiry-based learning, project-based learning), teaching methods, and campus culture in advance through the school website, official account, etc., to establish reasonable expectations.
- Cultivate an open mind: Be happy to meet new classmates and teachers from different backgrounds, and embrace the collision and growth brought by multiculturalism.
- Manage academic expectations: Understand that the international curriculum is more challenging, focus on the learning process, the improvement of thinking ability, and personal progress, rather than just pursuing scores. When encountering difficulties, be sure to actively seek help—the head teacher, subject teachers, senior students, and the school's psychological counseling room are all your strong support network.
Schedule and Time Management: Regular Life, Efficient Learning
The academic intensity and pace of international high school are usually different from ordinary high schools. Establishing a scientific and regular schedule is fundamental to ensuring learning efficiency and maintaining physical and mental health.
Core Suggestions:
- Adjust your biological clock: 1-2 weeks before school starts, gradually adjust your sleep and wake-up times to approach the schedule after school starts, effectively avoiding “ Vacation Syndrome ”。
- Make a regular plan: Try to plan your daily time, reasonably allocate time for learning (including English practice and subject preview), reading, physical exercise, developing interests, and leisure and relaxation, and get a feel for the high school rhythm in advance.
- Ensure sufficient sleep: Ensure 7-9 hours of high-quality sleep every night, which is crucial for the brain to consolidate memory and restore energy, and is the basic guarantee for coping with high-intensity learning.
Preparation for Independent Accommodation: Self-Management, Integration into the Collective
For students who need to live in the dormitory, this will be a valuable opportunity to cultivate their independence and learn teamwork. Sufficient preparation can help you adapt to your new life faster.
Core Suggestions:
- Master life skills: Practice independently tidying up your belongings (making the bed, tidying up your wardrobe and desk), washing simple clothes, and keeping your personal space clean in advance.
- Understand and abide by the rules: Be sure to familiarize yourself with and strictly abide by the dormitory management regulations (such as lights-out time, electrical safety, visitor system, etc.), which is a prerequisite for collective harmony.
- Prepare for accommodation supplies: Prepare bedding, toiletries, commonly used clothing, learning supplies, desk lamps, a small medicine box (prepare commonly used medicines), etc. Pay special attention: Strictly abide by the school's list of prohibited items that are not allowed to be brought into the dormitory (such as high-power electrical appliances, controlled knives, etc.).
- Learn how to get along: Respect your roommates' living habits, maintain positive communication, learn to be tolerant, and negotiate to resolve differences. Actively participating in dormitory activities is an effective way to integrate into the collective and make friends.
- Cultivate financial awareness: Learn to reasonably plan and manage your personal pocket money.
