[quote=Anonymous]I will assume that the int'l school in Asia has learning support in place for your child. That's really great b/c IME Asian int'l schools were lacking in this regard since everyone does afterschooling and private tutoring anyway on top of attending school.  All the moms had a private counselor on retainer and didn't bother with the school's college counseling.  
I would advise close scrutiny of the school's past five years' placement.  Something's up if there's a noticeable decline in # of elite admissions.  Our school had never experienced competition from franchise schools before and lost many families to the successful for-profit "branded" entities such as Dulwich International or Nord Anglia.  Fewer students = fewer resources for services like learning support and robust college counseling
You might want to reach out to some former expats online (usually trailing spouses) who have made third-culture kids the focus of their admissions counseling businesses.  
Also, try to determine a list of colleges/universities.  Since COVID-19 started up, many institutions have developed sophisticated online sessions and tours.  You can still get a feel for the place.[/quote]
