The University of Cambridge has over 100 libraries. The central library alone (the Cambridge University library, or the ‘UL’) has approximately 8 million volumes, and is able to request a free copy of every book published in the UK and Ireland. Another of its well-known libraries, the Wren Library, the Trinity college library, hosts A.A. Milne’s manuscript of Winnie-the-Pooh, books from Isaac Newton’s personal library, and early Shakespeare editions.
Affiliates of Cambridge University have won 116 Nobel Prizes, the second most of any institution in the world. Nobel Prizes have been won by Cambridge affiliates in every category. Frederick Sanger, Nobel laureate in Chemistry from St John’s College and a fellow of King’s College, is one of a very small handful of Nobel laureates who has won the Nobel Prize twice!Mr. Marat, Cambridge Exam Officer
Features of the British preschool system. An important difference between Russian and British kindergarten.
Speaking several languages today is not just a "tick" for a resume, but a necessity. Fluency in a foreign language, particularly in English, is a mandatory requirement for candidates for almost any high-paying job, and not only in international companies.
For more than a decade, the English education system is considered one of the best in the whole world. Thanks to a good balance between the preservation of traditions and the introduction of the latest educational programs, schools in England and Great Britain manage not only to give students excellent academic knowledge but also to skillfully develop social and personal qualities in them.
In the modern world, British school education is recognized as the standard: it is a classical high-quality system that has absorbed centuries-old traditions, capable of promptly introducing the most advanced teaching methods into practice, and most importantly, recognizing the student's interests as a top priority. The combination of these three principles ends up with truly amazing results.
It sounds surprising, but today most parents are not aware of what International Language Certificates are and don't know their types. They don't know how to get them in our country and what educational prospects they guarantee.
Private British schools are famous all over the world as educational institutions that give their students the highest level of academic preparation and maximum social adaptation - those qualities that are highly valued both for entering universities and for subsequent employment.
For Russian applicants, the University of Cambridge seems to be one of those academic institutions that exist in an altered reality. In fact, they have a real opportunity to enter Cambridge after graduating from Russian school after 11th grade - you just need to get reliable information about admission to the legendary university and use it correctly.
Home education cannot guarantee appropriate preparation for school. But not all the parents want their child to go to an ordinary kindergarten. A worthy modern alternative to state kindergartens is private pre-school institutions, which can help those who cannot or do not want to raise a baby before school at home.
