Talent High School

Professional academic experts of Boston High School Program will be responsible for guiding every individual student to achieve outstanding academic results continuously from Grade 9 till entry into their dreamed university.

Program Information

The American education is very different from the rest of the world and highly complicated through high school to university level. It is not based on final exams but based on daily homework, weekly quizzes and tests, and participation in the classroom. Student grades change weekly according to student performance, and accumulate student Grade Point Average (GPA), which will be assessed by universities for entry, at the end of their high school.

This system thus always requires students to concentrate, study hard, be independent and creative from Grade 9 to 12, in order to accomplish their dream of entering top American universities and securing scholarships.

However, in reality, international students can be easily lost, lose concentration or side tracked, when unable to balance between a challenging study life without family aside, in order to achieve good performance and reach their final goals. They do need daily and weekly advice on how to improve and sustain high grades, as well as how to take Honor and Advance Program (AP) courses to achieve their university goals.

Boston High School program is built specifically to solve these international student problems. Professional academic experts of Boston High School Program will be responsible for guiding every individual student to achieve outstanding academic results continuously from Grade 9 till entry into their dreamed university.

LIFE IN BOSTON

Historically, the state of Massachusetts and its capitol city Boston have been the education center of America. The first public school charter in the country was written there by the English settlers in 1607. The first college in the country, Harvard, was founded there in 1637. And the first public high school system in the United States was established there in 1839. Throughout its history Boston has been America’s leading innovator in education. And the same holds true today. Its High School systems are annually ranked among the best in the nation. And with more than 100 colleges and universities (including some of the best—e.g., Harvard, MIT, Tufts, and the New England Conservatory) engaged in teaching and research, it is no wonder that Boston, Massachusetts attracts the most diverse group of scholars, teachers, and students from around the world.
