EDUCATION<br />
way, children are given the opportunity<br />
to communicate with others who speak<br />
different languages. Hence, children get<br />
to learn different languages, and also<br />
get to learn about different cultures –<br />
something unobtainable at local schools.<br />
These are priceless opportunities that<br />
will reap great results for a child’s<br />
future, such as attending a university<br />
abroad or when a future job requires<br />
communication with clients from<br />
other countries.<br />
• Beneficial additional curriculum<br />
Besides a great academic system,<br />
international schools also provide all<br />
sorts of additional curriculum, such as<br />
indoor and outdoor sports, music classes,<br />
dance classes, acting classes and much<br />
more to ensure their students enjoy a<br />
well-rounded educational experience.<br />
Participation in extracurricular activities<br />
can boost a student’s confidence<br />
and further enhance his or her social<br />
skills, qualities that are essential for<br />
landing well-paying jobs in the future.<br />
It’s a known fact by now that besides<br />
looking at academic qualifications,<br />
most companies do also take note<br />
of a potential employee’s curriculum<br />
background to gauge their interests and<br />
personalities as well.<br />
