Challenges Sending American Kids to UK Schools
View/Add Comments (0 Comments) | Add to Favorites (1 Favorites)
The US system is much different than the UK system of education. If your children are well into their US education, they will not assimilate well into the UK system. For example, a 16 year old in the UK is about 2-3 years beyond the typical US 16 year old in educational and maturity terms. Also, in the teenage years, many are taking exams for further school placement that are not applicable in the US system and that US students are not prepared to take. For this age student, considerations for a private boarding school in the US or private US style schools in the UK are your best options.
