贺拉斯曼中学

目前环境下，对于寄宿高中申请，拥有美国公民身份或绿卡的学生可能在申请过程中有一定的优势，但这并不意味着一定会有明显的加分。学校在招生时会考虑多方面因素，包括学术成绩、标化考试成绩、课外活动、推荐信、个人陈述等等。拥有美国身份可能有助于适应美国的文化和教育环境，但它并不是决定性因素。需要注意的是，寄宿美高8申9的竞争非常激烈，即使是美国身份的学生，也需要有优异的成绩、出色的文书和推荐信，才能获得录取。 关于Horace Mann School和Boston University Academy (BUA)这两所走读学校，在排名和声誉方面都非常优秀： Horace Mann School（纽约市）是一所知名的私立学校，在美国享有很高的声誉。它在学术和课外活动方面都有很强的水平。但是，它通常被归类为一所日间学校，而不是传统意义上的寄宿学校。 Boston University Academy (BUA)是波士顿大学的附属学校，提供高中教育。这所学校在波士顿地区也享有很好的声誉，以其严谨的学术环境和卓越的教学而闻名。它同样也被归类为走读学校。 由于这两所学校不是传统意义上的寄宿学校，因此它们在寄宿排名中可能并不会被严格地进行比较。它们的声誉和教学水平在一定程度上与传统的寄宿学校相媲美，但排名可能会因评估标准而异。他们对标的寄宿高中排名大约在30～40名左右。Horace Mann是纽约州最顶尖的私立学校之一，排名第11位；BUA是波士顿地区最顶尖的私立学校之一，排名第20位。 在申请过程中，除了学校声誉和排名外，孩子的个人背景、兴趣、学术表现、课外活动和个人陈述等方面也非常重要。因此，学生应当努力展示自己的优势，并且根据学校的要求和特点进行准备。 您的孩子的成绩和特长都比较优秀，但申请Horace Mann和BUA这样的顶尖寄宿高中，仍然需要有充足的准备。建议您可以与专业的留学机构咨询，制定合理的申请方案。 以下是一些申请寄宿美高8申9的建议： 尽早开始准备，在9年级之前就开始规划自己的申请。 参加SSAT考试，取得优异的成绩。 参加夏校或其他学术项目，提升自己的学术能力和竞争力。 参加课外活动，发展自己的兴趣和特长。 撰写出色的文书，展现自己的个人魅力和领导力。 获得老师和校长强有力的推荐信。 祝您的孩子申请顺利！

这里有一篇相关文章，或许可以部分回答你的问题： “Opinions Prioritizing mental health requires deeper change in school culture Avani Khorana , Staff Writer December 7, 2021 Ever since I came to HM I have held myself to a high standard and repeatedly ignored and invalidated my struggles with mental health. I believe that this willful disregard of poor mental health stems from the prominent culture of pressure at HM. There is a prestige that comes along with the Horace Mann name and after transfering from a much more relaxed public school, I felt the need to push myself past my limits if I had any hope of standing a chance in such a highly competitive environment. In recent years, stress has become a big topic of discussion within our community. It’s important for students to understand that they’re not alone in their struggles, but oftentimes I ignore my stress because I know that I’m not the only one who has a lot of work or multiple assessments the next day. I do believe that mental health should be a top priority, but no matter how much I tell myself that, I still have yet to put it before school. I think that I continue to put pressure on myself because, after being in such an overly academically rigorous environment for so long, that’s what I’ve been conditioned to do. There are, of course, a multitude of circumstances which can contribute to students’ mental health outside of school. Other factors, such as familial relationships and social life, are also aspects of a person’s life which play a large role in their mental health. For me, the majority of my life revolves around school. Along with increasing my stress levels in terms of academics, school has caused strains between me and my parents and influenced my social life to varying degrees. When I’m both physically and mentally exhausted I tend to take it out on the people close to me, and it’s hard to find time to just relax and talk to my family and friends without worrying about the work I need to get done. I spend seven hours a day in class, another two to three hours in varying extracurriculars, then four or so hours trying to work on my assignments. On a good day, I then go to sleep for somewhere between five and six hours, until my alarm blares and signals that it’s time to do it all over again. This is not the same reality for every HM student, but the work we are expected to do puts a lot on our plates. I’ve always been told that if I just do my best everything will be okay. But what happens when my best isn’t good enough? What happens when I exhaust myself trying to complete more work than I can handle? High school is too early to be burning ourselves out. Whenever I have felt unable to work because of burnout in the past, I used to try to give myself some time to step back and relax. However, I soon realized that I wasn’t actually able to recharge, because all I was doing was beating myself up for “procrastinating” my work. I was using that time to scream at myself internally for not doing enough of what I felt was expected of me. Instead of my relaxation time being relaxation time, I was just burning myself out more because I wasn’t allowing myself to truly unwind. I told myself that it was my fault for “procrastinating” and as such ignored the detrimental effect this kind of internal punishment had on my mental health. While it’s crucial for students to make sure they are taking care of their mental health, others within the community should strive to promote a climate that clearly and actively values the well-being of every student. There have been several instances in which I have felt that teachers did not truly care about my mental health despite saying otherwise. I may express feelings of distress but those concerns are often glossed over by teachers saying that I’ll “be okay” but then continue to assign the same rigor of work. I feel as though teachers preach the idea of improving our mental health but then don’t actually make efforts to help us do so. Although the school has taken steps to mitigate the pressure students are under such as getting rid of calculated GPAs and midterms, we need to change the mindset students have which causes us to put such large amounts of pressure on ourselves. This is a more fundamental issue which won’t be solved overnight or with one clear solution. However, it begins with affirmation and action: teachers, affirm students of the fact that it’s okay if you get a worse grade than you would have hoped for and that it isn’t going to be detrimental for them, and then take the action to actually prove that fact. Make it more feasible to get accomodations for mental health reasons, give extra credit opportunities, base more of the final grade on participation or homework completion and less on test grades, and, overall, promote learning and understanding over ability to perform on assessments. We don’t need to and we shouldn’t push ourselves to the brink to get good grades. HM is a bubble. It can be hard to look beyond that bubble and understand that in the grand scheme of things, we will be okay, but I encourage you to try and adopt this mindset. I’ll try too. ”

Horace Mann。声誉比其他的好不少。

家长您好，我的孩子就读于Horace Mann School, 该校可以签发F1签证，学校对TOEFL和IELTS没有要求。

纽约的Horace Mann是全美学术最强的私立学校之一，男女混校。National Cathedral School是女子院校。我建议孩子去读男女混校。
