Top Reasons to Enroll Your Child at NMIS
U.S. students need to know more about the world. A recent study showed that:
Half of 18- to 24-year-olds could not find New York state on the map of the United States. Can your child point to where New York is on a U.S. map? |
Fewer than three in ten felt that it was absolutely necessary to know where countries in the news were located. Can your child locate the countries where this morning’s headlines are from? |
Only 14% believed speaking another language fluently was a necessary skill. All around the world, bilingualism is the rule, not the exception. In addition, multiple studies actually show improved brain function and neuro-plasticity of people who learned more than two languages early in life. |
Fewer than one in five young Americans owned a world map. How can American youths learn about our world when they don’t even own a world map? |
Three in ten respondents placed the United States population between one and two billion. Does your child know how many people live in the U.S.? Hint: Its between 300-400 million |
74% said English was the most commonly spoken native language in the world. English is the third most spoken, followed by Chinese and Spanish (Arabic is fourth) |
