陈芳芳,波士顿教育和专业发展中心 中国学生“高中留美”的热潮一浪高过一浪。今年,一方面是一些最顶尖的美国私立寄宿高中增加了录取中国学生的名额,如St. Paul’s School 就破天荒地录取了三名大陆学生;另一方面,中国申请学生的人数骤增,而且中国学生的TOEFL和SSAT考试成绩大幅提升,出现了一些令人惊讶的结果:不少考分很高的中国学生,竟然不被一所美国私立高中录取!当中,有的学生申请美国高中身心投入极深,以致一些家长哀叹:小孩没书读了。这么多考试成绩这么好的中国小孩,为什么今年会落得如此?带着这个疑问,波士顿教育和专业发展中心徐罡博士一行走访了北野赫尔蒙山中学(Northfield Mount Hermon)。 NMH国际生招生办主任Metta Dael(左)同波士顿教育和专业发展中心徐罡博士(右)、陈芳芳(左二)和徐星岩(左三)合影(波士顿教育和专业发展中心提供)
