International schools are broadening their appeal and helping to break down barriers between nations. At one time, international schools were largely the preserve of globetrotting expatriates, who wanted continuity of education for their children as their work took them overseas. But a growing number of local parents are choosing international schools for their children, looking for an education that is both high quality and will help their children cross national boundaries more easily.International high school
An international education not only smooths the path to entry to universities around the world, it also helps children form the sort of connections that will stand them in good stead in an increasingly globalized economy. International schools have enjoyed phenomenal growth in recent years, with no sign that trend is likely to slow. The last five years have seen the number of students enrolled in English-medium international schools grow by almost 7% a year, with such schools now accounting for 5.1 million children across the world. bAnd this growth is forecast to continue, with almost 7 million children expected to be attending international schools in 2023. The international education market is valued at $46.7 billion, rising to $66.6 billion in four years’ time.
But rather than the expatriate-dominated schools of the past, four in five of those students are the children from local families, according to international schools data experts ISC Research. And in some countries the rise in local enrollments has been particularly marked. In Indonesia, the proportion of students enrolled in premium international schools who were local doubled in just three years, from 25% in 2015 to 51% last year. In Vietnam over the same period local enrollments rose from 46% of the international school population to 72%. Even in Asia’s biggest economies, international schools are thriving. In China, 57% of students at international schools are Chinese, while in India 67% are Indian. At least 104 new international schools are opening this academic year, according to ISC Research.
Asia has the biggest demand for international schools. In the United Arab Emirates, 643,000 children attend international schools, in China the figure is 348,000, while in Malaysia 97,000 children are enrolled. Dubai alone boasts 306 international schools, while there are 169 in Shanghai and 142 in Beijing.
Of course, in most countries these figures represent only a fraction of the total number of students. The vast majority of children go to local schools and this is unlikely to change in the near future, not least because an international education is expensive. Average annual tuition fees are $18,000 in Eastern Asia, just under $11,000 in South-East Asia and $7,000 in Western Asia, beyond the reach of most families. But the growth in local demand for international schools is significant because of what it tells us about aspirations, even if it is only among the most affluent members of society.
Firstly, it is that an English-medium education is seen as opening doors, both in higher education and for future careers. A 2015 report from the British Council identified a shift towards using English not just as a foreign language but as a medium of instruction in subjects including science, math and geography. English is increasingly seen as a passport to a global world, and a way to access modernity and prosperity, the report said. The second driver of local demand for international schools is the increasing desirability of access to higher education. Entry to the world’s best universities is seen as demanding not just fluency in English, but also qualifications that are recognized around the world. The result of this is the creation of an internationally mobile student population, that will in turn transition into an internationally mobile workforce, studying and working across borders and helping to create a more globalized world.

Our traditional kids class offers a fun, nurturing, and structured environment grounded in respect and community. Your child will be taught in a non-competitive environment where learning takes place according to the pace and skill of each individual student. Progress and development are dependent upon each child’s motivation and hard work, under the skillful direction of experienced instructors.Children KungFu in Shanghai
Our aim is to facilitate personal mastery through a systematic process that is challenging and demanding and thus encourages students to explore their limits and capabilities. We promote the development of self-confidence and self-respect and emphasize self-discipline that gives children the power to resist negative influences.
Our physical exercise movement is a complete, integrated workout that improves strength, balance, and coordination while also increasing concentration and mental acuity. These attributes may enhance performance in other areas of your child’s life.
The Soja Kids Martial Arts Style/Form
Soja teaches the White Crane form of kung fu. The grandmaster and founder of our martial art style chose the white crane as the school’s symbol because of its gracefulness, beauty, and balance in nature. The crane is peaceful and only attacks in self-defense, thereby conveying a sense of harmony that has been infused into our training.
White Crane Kung Fu traces its roots to the traditional systems of martial arts and meditative disciplines of ancient China, Indonesia, and Tibet with direct lineage from the martial arts of the Northern Shaolin Temple. It features many rare and traditional styles, including acrobatics, weapons training, health movements, and some forms specifically designed for women. Forms range from the overtly martial to the dance-like. All styles emphasize flow and grace in movement. The aim of White Crane fighting is not to harm the opponent; instead, the goal is to harmonize with one’s opponent, so that conflict is no longer necessary, to redirect the force of the opponent’s attack rather than absorbing it. In defending oneself, by joining one’s enemy and not seeing oneself as separate, there can be no harm.
How to prepare your child for their first class at Soja
It’s normal for your child to be a little nervous during their first days of class or to think that some of the techniques look too difficult. However, students are grouped with others of the same ability level and mentored by senior students who can empathize because they remember what it was like on their first day. Instructors will do everything possible to make sure your child is able to overcome any fear and nervousness and begin developing confidence in their abilities.
The discipline taught in our martial arts class often helps children develop self-discipline outside of class. As they continue to practice martial arts, children develop a sense of personal commitment, and they learn respect for themselves and for others. This commitment, respect, and discipline often transfer to activities they do in other parts of their lives. Many parents will begin to notice subtle changes in their child’s schoolwork or in their self-control and patience with other children. Another benefit associated with our style of martial arts is improved self-confidence. Any child can do martial arts–all at various levels of proficiency–and everyone can progress and feel a sense of accomplishment. This feeling of progress allows a child to gain confidence in his/her abilities as well as be able to relate effectively to peers and adults.
Our Expectations of Students
We ask that all of our students respect the studio as a place of learning. Therefore, student behavior in the studio should reflect the utmost respect for the school, the instructors, and fellow students. When students enter the studio, they should salute with a “soja” (hand salutation), take their shoes off and neatly put them away, and sign-in. Once they have signed in, they should move to the workout floor and either stretch to warm-up, practice a skill that they have been learning, or sit in meditation. Before, during, or after class, they should only be engaged in activity and conversation related to what they are learning in class. Students are expected to drink any water and use the restroom before or after class to minimize interruption in training.
Belt System
All students begin kung fu classes with a white belt. As they continue to work hard and master a set of standardized movements and demonstrate the positive personal attributes of a true martial artist, they may test to earn a higher rank. Our 3-4-year-old students will receive achievement awards for progress in their physical development. Our 5-6-year-old students will earn a series of stars progressing as follows: yellow, green, orange, red, blue, and brown. Our 7-12-year-olds will earn striped belts progressing as follows: yellow stripe, green stripe, orange stripe, red stripe, blue stripe, and brown stripe. Students showing progress, but not yet ready to test for a higher belt are acknowledge for their efforts after 6 months with a stripe for their current belt. Once a child has reached the age of 13, they will begin training with the adult group that has its own belt system and specialized curriculum.

A pint-sized running back takes a handoff and scrambles across the goal line, spiking the football for a last-minute win. It could be any school field in America, but on a warm spring night in Beijing the star of the game is nine-year-old Lisa Li, one of the best players in China's first American football youth league.Children football in Shanghai
"I was so excited. Before I ran for the winning touchdown I thought to myself I just had to score," Li said as her Eagles celebrated a come-from-behind 24-20 victory over the Sharklets.
Li plays running back and linebacker in the 16-team Future League run by GSG Sport, a Beijing company promoting America's most popular game to parents seeking a new sport for children.American football lags far behind soccer and basketball in China, but the huge potential market of 1.4 billion people has caught the attention of the National Football League.
This year's Super Bowl championship was streamed live for the first time in China, where 1.5 million mostly young fans watch weekly NFL games on digital platforms.
NFL stars are pitching in to help build the fan base. Tom Brady, a five-time Super Bowl winning quarterback, will visit Beijing and the commercial hub of Shanghai later in June.GSG initially wanted to set up an adult league, but spotted the youth niche five years ago, said co-founder Michael Jin. Today it has 5,000 players whose parents spend between $1,700 and $3,000 annually for training, uniforms and equipment. Parents like football because it stresses discipline, team skills and exposes their pre-teen children to a new culture.
"A lot of parents think football is actually the essence of American culture," Jin said.At a recent Friday night game, a father cheering for his son said he appreciated the toughness of the sport. "It's very manly and the kids like it a lot," he said.
Parents at the game said they were not overly concerned about the risk of injury, which has fueled a safety debate in the United States."They're not running that fast or hitting that hard," said one parent, who sought anonymity. "It's not a big risk."To tap a sports industry fueled by rising consumer spending and favorable policies, two Beijing-based funds, Kaixing Capital and Unity Ventures, said they had invested "millions of dollars" in GSG, but gave no specific figures.
Beijing wants to triple the value of China's sports sector to 5 trillion yuan ($735 billion) by 2025.Unity investment manager Xu Miaocheng said it was drawn to GSG's training business model."Most sports companies are not very good at generating cash," he said. "The training sector generates cash."
GSG has expanded to Shanghai and the eastern city of Hangzhou and will soon open a franchise in eastern Qingdao. It aims to reach 10,000 players in two years.GSG is not profitable but the funds say they are patient."If you get in a hurry and compromise your service, it hurts your reputation," said Pan Shijian, a partner at Kaixing, which set up a 10-billion-yuan sports fund last year with property developer Kaisa Group.The one-year old Future League is a key part of GSG's effort to build its brand.Taking a page from American high school football, Future League games are held on Friday nights, complete with uniformed referees, cheering fans and a camera crew for post-game interviews.
This year GSG began livestreaming games in partnership with sports media company LeSports, drawing about 200,000 to watch the winning score by the Eagles' Li against the Sharklets."Lisa is much more confident and much more brave after playing football," said her father, Li Ning.

Robbie, from Plymouth in Devon, has made a YouTube animation in which he describes being bullied by pupils.Teacher training for early years or nursery education
He also said teachers had disciplined him for uncontrollable fidgeting, a symptom of his autism.
Child Autism UK said there was "a lack of understanding and knowledge amongst some teachers in some schools".
Robbie has been taught in a building away from other students and is due to move to a new school next term because of the way he has been treated.His mother, Jenny, said: "It's not just Robbie - it seems this is happening in lots of schools with autistic kids. He wants to raise awareness of the fact this is happening.
"There is not enough training for teachers, and there seems to be a social norm to pick on autistic kids.
"On the whole we have been let down by the school.
"One teacher has been banned from teaching him because he would single him out in the middle of the class. It says in his notes that if he is fidgeting they are not supposed to highlight it as it makes it worse."The school said it was supportive of Robbie's "worthy and very necessary campaign to raise the awareness of autism to a wide audience".
The statement continued: "All schools are committed to their well-publicised inclusive values, however, few schools can argue that in reality this inclusive philosophy permeates to every student and every parent. Education is certainly the key."
It said the school intended to show Robbie's film to staff and students to "generate much positive discussion" and "to deepen our holistic understanding of autism".Mandy Williams, CEO of Child Autism UK, said: "Teachers sometimes view the behaviour of children with autism against the standards set for their typically-developing peers."
She said "children with autism can achieve academically" and teachers did not always recognise the condition.
Mary Bousted, from the National Education Union, said: "It can be easy to miss that children's behaviour is linked to autism."
She said teachers had told the union they needed more background information about students.
She suggested a more "flexible curriculum" and more support for pupils with special educational needs was needed.

The next generation of youngsters made their mark at the Shanghai Masters as Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev knocked out former champions Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer respectively, booking their semi-final spots on Friday.To get more shanghai masters, you can visit shine news official website.
Sixth seed Tsitsipas battled back from a set down to defeat top seed Djokovic 3-6 7-5 6-3 to register his first victory over a reigning world number one.
The 21-year-old came into the match having sealed his place in next month's season-ending ATP Finals and celebrated with his second career win over Djokovic in three meetings.
"He had the high-quality tennis and he played well after his serve. He was backing up his serve with really good, aggressive first shots in the rally," Japan Open winner Djokovic told reporters.
"I didn't make him defend enough. I just gave him enough time to really dictate the play... and he deserved to win."
Germany's fifth seed Zverev beat a spirited Federer 6-3 6-7(7) 6-3 in a dramatic affair that lasted a little over two hours.
Staring down the barrel in the second set, Federer saved five match points to force a decider where he failed to keep his composure, receiving a rare point penalty for ball abuse.
Zverev took his opportunities in the final set and finished the encounter with 43 winners to Federer's 21.
"He will always make it tricky for you like he did today with me, and you always got to play your best tennis to have a chance," Zverev said.
"I knew if I'm going to keep playing the way I played the first two sets, I'm going to have a chance in the third as well."Zverev will next meet Italy's 23-year-old Matteo Berrettini, who defeated China Open champion Dominic Thiem 7-6(8) 6-4. Tsitsipas takes on U.S. Open runner-up Daniil Medvedev, who overcame Italy's Fabio Fognini 6-3 7-6(4).
For the first time since the tournament's inaugural edition in 2009, none of the 'Big Four' -- Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, Federer and Andy Murray -- are in contention for the trophy.
Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Medvedev, Thiem and Tsitsipas have booked their places for the ATP Finals, with two spots still up for grabs for the tournament in London.

The NBA was dealt a blow this week when the New Orleans Pelicans announced that rookie sensation Zion Williamson had undergone arthroscopic surgery on his knee, and will miss six to eight weeks.To get more nba as, you can visit shine news official website.
It’s obviously a huge bummer for the Pelicans, but also to the league and its fans. Williamson is considered by many to be the best NBA prospect since LeBron James, and he is a walking, talking, smiling highlight reel.
The athletic phenom also missed the bulk of the Las Vegas Summer League, so fans were giddy to finally see him in action when the season started. He didn’t disappoint in the preseason, as he was borderline unstoppable. In four preseason games, Williamson averaged 23.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, while shooting a staggering 71.4% from the field.
The NBA even scheduled the first game of the season to be the Pelicans vs. the defending champion Toronto Raptors, which is a bit less exciting with neither Williamson nor Kawhi Leonard.
Williamson’s injury also impacts the Warriors, who face the Pelicans four times this year. Golden State visits New Orleans in a week, on October 28, a game that the rookie will obviously miss. He’ll also be out for their second contest, when the Warriors again head to New Orleans on November 17.
The Pelicans visit Chase Center on December 20, which is right around Williamson’s expected return. If the rehab goes smoothly, the Warriors and their fans may get to see the budding star in action then. If not, they’ll have to wait until February 23.

The Pelicans visit Chase Center on December 20, which is right around Williamson’s expected return. If the rehab goes smoothly, the Warriors and their fans may get to see the budding star in action then. If not, they’ll have to wait until February 23.
Wholesale Natural Quercetin Powder by HPLC
Quercetin is a potent antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory activity, protecting cellular structures and blood vessels from the damaging effects of free radicals. It improves blood vessel strength. Quercetin inhibits the activity of catechol-O-methyltransferase that breaks down the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. This effect may lead to elevated levels of norepinephrine and an increase in energy expenditure and fat oxidation. It also means quercetin acts as an antihistamine leading to relief of allergies and asthma.

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (henceforth PQQ) is a small quinone molecule
which has the ability to be a REDOX agent, capable of reducing oxidants
(an antioxidant effect) and then being recycled by glutathione back into
an active form. It appears to be quite stable as it can undergo several
thousand cycles before being used up, and it is novel since it
associates with protein structures inside the cell (some antioxidants,
mostly notably carotenoids like β-carotene and Astaxanthin, are located
at specific areas of a cell where they exert proportionally more
antioxidant effects due to proximity; Pyrroloquinoline Quinone seems to
do this near proteins like carotenoids do so at the cell membrane).Antiaging Powder
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone is present in nanomolar quantities in most foods and in most animal tissuse. It promotes growth, mitochondrial function, and development in vivo and stimulates cell proliferation and viability in culture. It is a potent antioxidant that scavenges superoxide and peroxinitrite. It is neuroprotectant against 6-hydroxydopamine-induced and hypoxia/ischemia-induced neurotoxicity. Pyrroloquinoline Quinone conjugates to α-synuclein in vitro, inhibiting the formation of amyloid fibrils.
Application of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone
It means Pyrroloquinoline Quinone may have the power to help protect brain function well into our advanced years. Initial evidence of this was demonstrated in a 2009 study published in the medical journal Food Style.1 In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 71 men and women aged 45-65 consumed foods fortified with 20 mg of PQQ (as found in our new maximum potency formula), Pyrroloquinoline Quinone plus CoQ10, or placebo, for 12 weeks. Throughout the study, subjects participated in cognitive tests designed to measure memory, recall and cerebral function. The graph shown illustrates the results. Similar results were reported in a 2011 follow-up study in which Pyrroloquinoline Quinone was given directly as a supplement.
