System Study: Making sense of schools' educational philosophies

One of the great benefits of living in Beijing today is the unprecedented access to international curricula and high school certificate options. Parents and students can select among a variety of teaching philosophies, from Italy's Montessori method to the UK's A-Levels. However, with such ample choice comes the challenge: How do you pick the right one? To help determine which might be the best fit for you and your child, we asked some of Beijing's international schools what makes these educational philosophies special.
