I'm 15 and moving to america and i need some info about the schools?
Schools can differ from one another but I can tell you what mine is like. We have no uniforms but a dress code. Shorts have to extend past your fingers when your arms are down and all shirts must cover your back, no cleavage or inappropriate holes, and any tank tops must have straps that are 2 fingers or wider. We have 7 classes and a advisory in the morning to get everything around. Our breaks between classes are 3 min and our lunch is 20 min. Each class is an hour long and you can't carry any bags or purses during school. Elementary school usually goes from ages 5/6-10/11, middle school usually goes from ages 11/12-13/14, and high school usually goes from ages 14/15-17/18. Also if you know what school you are going to they may have a web sight about it and they should show you the ropes when you get there. Good luck and hope I helped!
How can an American child (minor) move to the USA and attend public school if his single parent is not a US citizen?
There are several relevant parts to your question.1. Immigration / US citizenship status2. Moving to the USA.3. Public education4. Finances1. You and your siblings are a US citizen. You can get on any plane to the US with your passport and fly there. Your mom is not a citizen. However, she falls under the Visa Waiver Program.The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) is a program of the United States Government which allows citizens of specific countries to travel to the United States for tourism, business, or while in transit for up to 90 days without having to obtain a visa. She could enter the US, but in order to live here, she would need to obtain a Visa. Not always easy.2. Moving to the USA.Easy for you and your siblings. Hard for your mom. However, the USA is a large place. You would have to decide where you wanted to live, etc. Some communities are more accessible to individuals from other countries. Some communities are more accessible to English as a second language. Some are pretty harsh to immigrants regardless of the law. In some ways the culture is not a good fit.3. The USA has free public education only through high school. That is usually about age 18 or 19 for most individuals. With poor English, you would really struggle both academically and socially. In almost all districts, you have to provide proof of residency or where you live. Some schools are much better than others. 4. Finances. You could move here, but you need to pay to live here. You need to pay for your housing, food, and many other things. With limited English, you would have a great deal of trouble with a job to afford any of the basics including housing.In all honesty, for the amount of time, you would be eligible for any public education and the difficulties that you would face it is not a prospect that I would recommend.
Taipei American School?
I might be moving to Taipei, Taiwan in the Summer of 2014 and attending their school of Fall 2014. I'm just wondering if the school is very demanding. I have looked at a lot of articles and reviews and the education program is very strong. I will be a sophomore for the next school year. I am a Taiwanese born American. The current school I take now is in America. It's one of the top schools in NJ and ranked very high nationally. We have about 2-4 tests/quizzes a week with a lot of homework/projects and we have strong AP programs. I'm just wondering if the transition will be tough. I play sports and I take art, so I guess it'll be okay with making friends. Just wondering if some of you can give me advice if I actually move to Taiwan. Thanks!
Moving to korea after graduating high school?
I'm currently in 12th grade in high school, but my mom DESPERATELY wants to move back to korea right after I graduate. But what advantage does that give me? Yes, I can speak korean fluently but I'm probably not up the high school senior level of korean knowledge status because I've been in the US for about 8 years. And yes, I'm a citizen in Korea, so I have no problem of going back there because either way I'll be in more advantage living over there with full rights than in America. HOWEVER, what about my education? I'm probably going to have to either go back in high school and take their version of college exam (which I'll probably FAIL since korea's education is sooo much higher than America's high school) and probably if I'm lucky end up in a crappy college that I'll still have trouble in because it's still too hard for me to learn and stuff. I'm so confused and need serious help from someone with experience or knows what to do. Do I have to apply to college with the SAT score I took in America or just start from scratch in korea? And how would I catch up? I can't manage to pay for the korean international schools since they cost thousands (and the reason why we might be moving to korea is due to MONEY). PLEASE HELP!
How are Canadian high schools different from American High sshools?
1) Public schools, no. If you're going to a private school, then you may have to. 2) I have 4 classes each semester, so 8 for the whole year. You can take spare blocks if you have a hard course load. (I'm taking History 12, Chemistry 12, and Physics 12 so I took a spare block with those) 3) We ALWAYS have Sunday and Saturday off for weekends. 4) I'll graduate when I'm 17 and be in college when I'm 17 as well. This is because I'm born at the end of the year. Everyone else graduates when they're 18. : ) (If you don't grad you can come back until you are 19 or if you want to improve your class marks or don't have the recommended classes) I'm a high school student in grade 12, in British Columbia. Canadian schools are ranked something like 5th in the world. xD This is considerably better than the American score. ; p What province are you moving to?
I want to move to Canada after medical school in the States! Need some advice! Canadian responses only please?

Would a British Kid be welcome in an American School?
Essentially my parents are considering moving to America (Washington apparently) and I was wondering whether or not I'd be an outsider or be welcomed with open arms. I have a British Accent obviously and have been educated in Britain so I was beginning to realise that they may actually detest me. Thanks for any information.
How can an American child (minor 3 yrs old) move to the USA and attend public school if his single parent is not a US citizen?
Yes, the child can move here and there wouldn’t be any problems with him staying for the rest of his life if he wanted to. The problem is that you couldn’t come with him. If you know somebody in the US that he could live with then all you’d need to do would be to write a letter giving them permission to make educational and medical decisions for him and to travel with him and then have it notarized. This is called a power of attorney and you can revoke it any time you want.If you happen to live in a visa waiver country then you can come visit him anytime you please for up to three months each visit, and of course you could take him back to your own country during the summer or at Christmas or whenever there were school breaks.It might be possible for you to get a student visa and attend college here for several years while your son attended school, but just remember you wouldn’t be able to work while here.
