教育无疑正在朝着国际化方向发展。不仅很多高净值家庭送子女去海外留学，越来越多的西方学校业在亚洲及其他地区开办特许经营学校。我发现许多独具慧眼的家庭青睐英国寄宿学校，他们看中寄宿学校教育辅导到位，活动丰富多样。我工作中接触到的许多亚洲家庭认为，这种教育方式是一种西方产品，理应在西方国家体验。
“Education is, without doubt, becoming increasingly global. Not only are children of high net worth families sent to the West, but increasingly we see western schools opening franchises in Asia and all parts of the globe. However, I see an increasing numbers of discerning families placing preference upon UK boarding schools, in part due to their excellent pastoral care and the range of activities offered to pupils. Many of the families I have worked alongside consider that education is a western luxury and they feel that it is a luxury that should ideally be experienced in the West.
家长送子女海外求学有很多原因，比如希望他们开阔眼界，接受更好的教育，为将来进入顶尖大学铺路搭桥。更直接的说，家长希望为子女提供一个更好生活。
There are many reasons for families sending their children abroad. You wish to broaden your child’s perspective and you are confident they will receive a better education. You wish to give them better post-school prospects and to allow them access to the best universities - in essence you are purchasing a better quality of life for your children.
家长选择送子女留学英国，最主要原因是英国教育除了保证良好考试成绩之外，子女能够接受更全面的培养；所以择校时家长会重点考量学校的名气和声誉，申请时他们青睐具有优良传统和光明就业前景的学校。
A key reason cited for sending children to school in the UK is that the quality of education goes for beyond access to the best exam results; during the decision making process the name and reputation of the school is stated as being key, with a keen interest placed upon application to schools with tradition, heritage and associations with outstanding job prospects.
我知道一些家长只看重分数和学习成绩，认为上述种种并不实际。但是我想强调的是，英国寄宿学校不仅重视学生的学业，还帮助他们建立恰当的世界观。如果家长去参观英国寄宿学校，看到学校的建筑和操场，了解到学生享受的机会和丰富的活动，将会十分震撼。在中国，家长需要自己为孩子安排课外活动，比如钢琴课、课外辅导、运动俱乐部、辩论活动等。而优质的英国学校自身就能够为学生提供这种机会以及其他多种活动，学生也喜欢投入各色活动，很少有人不去参加。

那么想在英国接受世界顶尖的教育，
最好怎么办呢？
申请学校时要注意三个要点：
时机
选择
准备
不考虑这三个因素，
届时的择校范围将非常有限。
很多家庭申请时间太迟。英国每学年的课程从9月开始，要想进入一所中国人听说过的学校，如果同年1月才申请，结果只能是不如人意。如果想进入排名靠前的精英学校，至少入学前两年甚至三年就要开始注册和申请。
All too often families leave it too late to make realistic applications to UK boarding schools. With the the UK academic year starting in September, to make an application in January of the same year to a school that has been heard of in China will only result in disappointment. For the highly selective schools sitting towards the top of any one of the myriad of league tables, registration and application should be made at least two full years or even three prior to entry.

很多家庭会预设一个理想学校。他们坚信只有这个学校适合自己的孩子，任何名气稍低的学校都不考虑。很多时候这种想法是错误的，家长应该从学生的天资、兴趣和性格出发，选择一所合适的学校。伊顿公学校长西蒙·亨德森(Simon Henderson)说道：“请思考你孩子最适合去哪里，不要只考名气最大的学校。择校时要找到学术标准恰好适合你孩子的学校。”
All to often families have a named school in mind. They firmly believe that this one school is right for their child, and that any school lower down the reputational rankings is not to be considered. They are frequently wrong and have to be shown that school choice needs to focus upon matching the aptitudes, interests and personality of the child to the particular strengths of the institution. The Headmaster of Eton, Simon Henderson, states, “Think about the right place for your child – not the most distinguished or impressive-sounding name. Choose a school with academic standards that match the needs of your particular child”.
很多家长认为，准备申请时孩子需要接受大量的辅导培训。这一点并没有错，但是只有针对性强的培训才有帮助，很多中国当地家教老师提供的培训效果是有限的，他们通常只注重单一方面，并没有很好地考虑申请学校的需求。
All too often parents believe that preparation for any application just involves more and more tutoring. They may well be right, but only if that tutor support is targeted and specific - so much of the support offered by local tutors is limited in that it is not focussed and fails to enhance the application.
如果您把握正确的时机（提前规划），根据良好建议作出选择（最适合的学校），做好有效准备（目标学校的针对性辅导），那么您的孩子将顺利进入英国的世界级寄宿学校。”
Therefore, if you get your timings right, make advised choices and ensure all preparation is meaningful, your children can enjoy the fruits of a superb, world class education in a UK boarding school.
