1. Are there any school district restrictions for private schools?
Private primary and secondary schools basically take the whole county and city as the enrollment scope, so as long as they are registered in the county and city, they can study without moving their household registration; If it is a foreign county or city, you need to move in to study. However, the enrollment targets of a few private schools are not limited to counties and cities. If they report to the local education department for approval, they can enroll students without local household registration. For example, the enrollment target of Hualien Tzu Chi primary and secondary schools is students from all over the country.
2. What is the usual procedure for going to a private school?
In terms of time, public schools are registered only when private schools are registered.
Generally speaking, from February to April, private schools will hold admission briefings. On or after the briefing, exams will be held in different names, such as sexual orientation assessment, potential exploration and experience camp, and students with excellent grades will be given priority. After the priority list is determined, there will still be some vacancies to be decided by lottery.
The public lottery for private schools will be held in early July, about a few days before the registration of public schools. The authorities will put all private schools on the same day, so parents can only choose one to register and draw lots.
The lottery process of most private schools is to register in the morning, draw lots in the afternoon, and go through the registration procedures the next day after the lottery. On the day of registration, you need to prepare graduation certificate, household registration book, parent seal and other materials.
Tuition fees in private schools are higher than those in public schools, plus the cost of caring for relatives and talents.
The registration fee for private primary and secondary schools is about 30 thousand to 40 thousand a semester, but this does not include school uniforms, meals, counseling fees, school bus fees, after-school talent fees and so on. Therefore, the "cheapest" private school includes meals, class AIDS, school uniforms and so on. It's also about 50 thousand yuan. If the school is bilingual and international, the fees will even be as high as hundreds of thousands.
