外国学生申请美国中学的一些事项 2009-01-07 10:45:57

我在前面发了两个帖子“两个外甥女在我家”和“小留学生在美国上寄宿中学的故事”后，许多人问有关申请美国中学的问题，我在此再简要介绍一下我所知道的有关事项（有不足之处请大家指出或补充）。

This is a recommendation from a HCS parent:

My daughter learns from a Russia Piano teacher ( she speaks English)
Valentina Brunsburg.

my daughter is 4 and half years old when she started to lean.
I think Valentina teaches good. now, my daughter can play some
not-so-simple piece.

Mrs. Valentina also teaches other student that is less than 5 years old.
also has students about 6 to 7 years old. also has students that are
more than 20 years old.
she has about 20 Chinese students.

She lives in Reston

Eric Himy is a great piano teacher. My daughter takes lessons from him. He teaches her not only keyboard skills (how to play the music), but also performance skills (how to interpret the music). My daughter has been learning for him for nearly a year. Now she starts to "feel" the music.

Mr. Himy was also interviewed to teach President-elect Obama's children. Not sure how that goes. He still plays at concerts regularly. He lives in Great Falls/McLean area.

The Confucius Institute at the University of Maryland has classes and can tailor them to all levels: from English-only to advanced studies for native speakers.
