为什么要选择私立学校？附 私校申请指南 中英文版
在过去的几十年里，越来越多的加拿大家庭开始申请就读私立学校。1970年，只有2.5％的加拿大学生就读私立学校；而在1998年，这一数字已上升到6％。越来越多的家长更加愿意为他们的孩子选择更加个性化、专业化的课程；可供家长们选择的学校也越来越多样化。
私立学校的形式和规模各有不同——从传统的走读寄宿学校到单性别学校，蒙特梭利课程、法语学校、有特殊宗教信仰的学校以及针对有特殊需要的学生的学校。这些学校有能力设立独立的课程并限制招生。私立学校每个班的平均学生人数比大多数公立学校少，往往更加重视更个性化的教学和项目。
申请就读一流的私立学校竞争非常激烈。通常，学生需要进行入学考试（SSAT）并提交成绩单、推荐信和个人问卷。学生通常需要参加面试，方便招生人员评估学生的个性和学术潜力。学校不仅看重学生的成绩和分数，同时还看重学生对私立学校课程安排的热情、信任以及积极性。
WHY PRIVATE SCHOOL?
Over the past few decades, Canadian fami-lies have been increasingly exploring educa-tion options outside of the public school system. In 1970, only 2.5% of Canadian students attended private school; in 1998, that number had risen to 6%. Parents are increasingly interested in more individual-ized, specialized curriculum options for their children, and the options available to them are becoming increasingly diverse.
Private schools come in a variety of shapes and sizes— from traditional boarding and day schools to single-gender schools, Mon-tessori programs, French Immersion schools, schools with specific religious affili-ations, and schools catering to Special Needs students. These schools have the ability to set their own independent curriculum and to limit enrolment. With smaller average class sizes than most public schools, private schools often put a greater emphasis on indi-vidualized instruction and programming.
Admissions to the most selective private schools can be quite competitive. Students
are often required to write the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) and submit transcripts, reference letters, and personal questionnaires. Students are often asked to come for an interview so the admissions officers can evaluate personality as well as academic potential. Schools look for not only strong grades and test scores, but also passion, commitment, and enthusiasm for the private school program.
