Now the vast majority of international students who come to Ontario will choose to study and live in greater toronto area. As the most economically developed, densely populated and rich in educational resources in Ontario and even Canada, Greater Toronto is a well-deserved first choice for private schools.
As mentioned earlier, the trend of younger students studying in China will make most areas accept more younger students in 20 18. When parents decide to send their children abroad, they will inevitably consider the choice of school. Compared with public schools in Canada, private schools have great advantages in the following aspects, which can attract a large number of high-quality students. These advantages also mean that private school investment is profitable and has excellent prospects.
I. Hardware equipment
Many public schools have good hardware facilities, but private schools are often better. Because private schools have more abundant sources of funds, the best primary and secondary school teaching buildings, gymnasiums and science and technology buildings in Toronto are often in private schools.
In addition, the hardware advantages of private schools are also reflected in the unique natural environment. For example, Appleby Middle School, a famous private school in Ontario, has not only Apple computers for all students, but also a high-tech teaching building. More famous, it is located on the shore of Lake Ontario in Oakville, with pleasant scenery all year round. Beautiful scenery is enough to establish the brand and image of private schools and show the elegance of famous schools.
Second, small class teaching.
Private schools usually have fewer students than public schools and generally implement small class teaching. Students are more likely to get guidance and attention from teachers, and also have more opportunities to study in depth.
Third, provide more opportunities for children.
Private schools often pay more attention to cultivating children's leadership, offering more elective courses and giving children more opportunities to participate in community activities. These are of great benefit to improving students' comprehensive quality, developing their interests and integrating into the local environment in Canada.
Fourth, establish student contact.
Students from prestigious private schools can generally find a good job in society in the future. One of the most important reasons is that they established an invisible network when they were students. In particular, private schools target the children of social elites. While ensuring the quality of enrollment, it also makes it easier for private school students to obtain stable and high-quality local social resources in Canada after graduation.
Compared with the aristocratic schools in China, the advantages of high-quality private schools in Canada are also obvious. First of all, private schools in Canada can connect with local and even American universities. Canada and the United States can certify each other's degrees. This saves a lot of trouble for those students who plan to choose an Ivy League school after graduation.
Secondly, letting students study in private schools in Canada helps to develop their thinking. If students are older when they go abroad, such as after completing their college studies, it is difficult to change the inherent thinking brought about by domestic life even after completing their studies. This is quite unfavorable for students who intend to settle overseas. This is why many parents are willing to let their children go abroad as soon as possible. Entering a purely local place as soon as possible is the most beneficial way to develop thinking.
The return on investment of a school depends first on the operating conditions of the school, and secondly on the future development prospects of this education. As far as the current situation in Canada is concerned, as mentioned above, with the increase of international students and the increasing relaxation of visas, it will bring more students to private school investors. This will also make the school's business prospects brighter.
Generally, the profits of well-run private schools will be much higher than those of investing in ordinary houses. At the same time, investing in private schools also has a profitable way that ordinary houses do not have, that is, changing land use.
In Canada, investors buy private schools and land where schools are located. As long as investors can get permission to change the land use, they can build commercial buildings and high-rise houses on this land. High-quality land for private schools is often an area with convenient transportation or close to high-quality communities, and the surrounding facilities are also very mature, so it has great development prospects. At that time, investors can choose their own development projects or resell the land to developers. Its profit can exceed several times or even dozens of times the investment cost. These are not comparable to the general residential real estate investment.
Even without considering factors such as land appreciation and change of use, investment in education industry itself has many advantages that investment in residential real estate does not have.
First of all, the return on investment in the education industry is relatively stable, and it is not easily affected by the economic environment, let alone by government policies. Because Canada attaches great importance to education, on the whole, the government's policy towards the education industry tends to be stable and sustainable, and its attitude tends to be encouraging. This is quite different from the Canadian government's current attitude towards overseas buyers' real estate speculation.
Secondly, there are fewer restrictions on overseas investors. At present, the Canadian government generally has a restrictive attitude towards overseas buyers in the housing market, especially in real estate hotspots in British Columbia and Ontario. The Canadian government has basically no restrictions on business investment, including investment in private schools. As long as the source of the assets used for investment is justified.
Because buying a private school itself is not a small investment, it can also bring an additional income, that is, it can be used to invest in immigrants.
In addition, some investors will consider whether they can enroll their children after buying a school. Generally speaking, this is no problem at all. Usually, private schools only need parents to pay the relevant fees, and children can enter school. Even if the parents of students are the owners of private schools, there will not be too many restrictions on laws and regulations. However, it is particularly important to note that some high-quality private schools need to test the students who enter the school, and they can only enter the school after passing the test. This is not a law, it belongs to the school's own rules and regulations. If investors are interested in investing in such schools, or want to make the schools they invest into such first-class schools, then it is best to distinguish between public and private schools. As the operator or holder of a school, it is best to treat your children and other students equally when they enter school.
At present, there are few high-quality private schools in greater toronto area.
The so-called high-quality private school must first occupy a geographical location. The location of the school needs to be close to the highway or traffic arteries. At the same time, it is best to be close to the surrounding universities. This will make it easier for students to participate in some university activities and prepare for their favorite universities and further studies after graduation.
Secondly, there needs to be a large enough area, as well as an open and pleasing campus and school building. School buildings can be fashionable and modern, or simple and elegant, but they must show the style of famous schools commensurate with the teaching quality.
Finally, if the school building itself comes with classrooms, offices, auditoriums and other necessary rooms, it is naturally icing on the cake. And if there is a restaurant, a kitchen and even a dormitory bedroom, that is the best choice! Because such a rare building can just allow the school to establish a closed teaching environment, especially suitable for boarding private schools.
