[quote=Anonymous]We're French (from Paris) and my kids stayed in their American high schools for the whole 4 years. From a college admissions point of view, I don't think this is useful - it just screams rich girl caprice. But if this is very meaningful to your child, then by all means... however it's very important to check with the high school to see whether such an absence is allowed, and what the consequences might be for missed work, or missed courses. Will the study abroad organization give her credits that her school is prepared to accept? My children had very intense high school schedules, and missing an entire semester would not have been possible with the goals they set for themselves. My oldest has just completed a junior year study abroad at Sciences Po in Paris, organized by his university, and in that case of course, the credits transfer.[/quote]
