[quote=Anonymous]In general, it’s a plus for colleges. A hook, diversity, maturity, worldliness, etc. Socially, it can be very hard on the kid. Really depends on the post, the school and the kid. Many international and American schools abroad are rigorous, even more rigorous than our top US high schools, especially if they have an IB program. Be sure to go to one with an American school calendar and curriculum, not British, etc. I lived in northern Va from 3-7th grade, in one developing country in 8th grade, and a different developing country (but bigger/ better school) in 9th and 10th grade. I then moved back to northern Virginia for 11-12th Such a hard move, socially I was behind. College was slightly easier but, it’s hard on introverted kids. [/quote]
