Wanganui Collegiate School in NZ takes International Students\nhttp://www.collegiate.school.nz/main.cfm?id=1333\nThe yearly fee for 2007 is $33000 NZ Dollars.\nhttp://www.collegiate.school.nz/main.cfm?id=1355\nYour daughter wouldn't need a chaperon at all. She'd live there 7 days a week and be under constant professional supervision.\nShe'd start as a 13/14 year old, not 12. The list of requirements is extensive: http://www.collegiate.school.nz/main.cfm?id=1364 though an interview in NZ is not usually required.\n\nIf NZ isn't your choice here's a list of prominent boarding schools across the world. Many only take boys, so read carefully: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_boarding_schools

shouldn't you say where you want to study? the US, the UK or somewhere else? i think every school does offer scholarship to support their students (the matter is whether is enough), so the best way is talk to student sevices of the school you most want to study, ask them how you can apply for a scholarship (and maybe how much it is up to)

Studying abroad is a great way to see the world while learning something on the way. The main issue would arise when you have to pay for International Student Tuition Fees and accommodations. These fees are much higher for an International student compared to what you will pay at a domestic post secondary school. \n\nAnother thing you will face is a bit of culture shock - which could be worse depending on the type of person you are.\n\nBeing located somewhere very far from home can also be very difficult to try and get home quickly and easily when an emergency happens back home.\n\nThose are just some of the negatives - overall it would be a once in a lifetime experience. You will never be 19, 20, 21 or whatever age you are, so live it up.

yes...you can still go...but you will probably need a student visa (depending on the country) and you will pay out of state tuition.  \nI'm not from the U.S. and my tuition is about $12000 a yr for a CC...but that depends on where the school is located.\nI suggest you go to the website of the school you are looking at and look under either 'new students', prospective students, or admissions...it should have a link for international students that will give you all the information you need!

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public (or government-operated) schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling (or their equivalent) may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is the large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries who have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.\n\n \n\nWhether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, or at a USA  ESL, vocational or high school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. The information provided in the Overview of the American education system section will help you develop that understanding. You can also search our list of top universities, colleges, community colleges, graduate schools, and boarding schools in the American education system. It is no surprise that the American education system and the American school system hosts more international students than any other country in the world!\n\n \n\nYou can learn more about specific areas of the American education system and the American school system (high school, access to college, the USA unit system, school accreditation, liberal arts education, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, master's and PhD degrees) by clicking on the links on the left of this page. The American education system offers students the widest study options in the world!

Do you still live with your parents? If so, you could check into the possibility of finishing your high school out as a homeschooler. You will need to look into what the college you may attend requires of entering freshmen and cover those subjects as well as work hard to be able to do well on the ACT or SAT college admissions test. States vary in their homeschool law, so you will need to research your state's requirements. Try doing an internet search for home school and your state's name. \n\nEven if your parents feel that that they will not have the time to teach you, it can be done with a lot of motivation on your part. They will be your accountabilty partners. If you live in a large city there are often homeschool co ops for high school courses. This is useful in that you will have easy access to guided science labs, language studies with speakers of that language, and more for a very reasonable cost or often at no fee for homeschoolers. You will also get a chance to meet some really nice teens that take their studies seriously.\n\nIf you do not live with your parents, try going to your state's Department of Education website. Even if you do not find a mention of a program for girls like yourself, send an e-mail via their contact information and tell them of your interest. \n\nAt the very least, you should be able to get into a GED program. There are some disadvantages in that a GED has a bit of stigma attached to it, but it can still be a successful stepping stone to collge entry. \n\nIf you were a really good student before leaving high school, it is possible that with a little study you could get a decent score on the ACT or SAT. With a good score, a college might be willing to waive the diploma requirement.\n\nIf you chose a reasonably priced college, quite likely you will qualify for enough financial aid to go without cost. Look for community and 4 year colleges with tuition rates of no more than $4000 per year.

Go to a cheaper college than transfer to Your choice college in Junior year.  I wish I wish I knew this expensive lesson before I got so many student loans.\n\nIn your case outside the US I don't know what education programs are available. You can apply to colleges here and the school themselves may offer you a scholarship.  If you are a good writer your essay can win you scholarships and grants.\n\nCheck on line for government programs, check the university websites to see what they offer as well. Most schools offer grants, loans, and work study but again I don't know how much they offer to non us citizens.\n\nIf there are good universities there check to see if any have a study aboard program then while you are here studying you can learn more about what options will work for you.

Let her stay where she is she is getting what she needs from both right now. Now she will be going to high school then college if they are rich let them pay for it. Make sure to keep contact with her and let her know if you could provide all she is getting now you would. In the meantime don't press the subject of taking her away from what will provide her with a great future.

Yeah, everything is possible in the United States. All u need is enough proof of High school completion. Let him just make sure he doesn't loose his focus in college. i bet u he's gonna have a hard time at the beginning but his brains are gonna get him into any student group he wants to join. Students turn to associate more with really intelligent students like him. Good luck Pal.

There are lots of accomodations in San Ramon near California High School so that your daughter can easily get to school. My daughter and I lived in San Ramon for 3 years. Good Luck!

The answer above is a great idea.  Of course, this will only work if you don't mind non-person to person tutoring.\n\nI would contact your local high schools and see if there are any tutors that will tutor your kid.  It might help both the high school student (elective credit) and your kid (because young kids look up to high school students).\n\nNewspapers are always advertising people looking for work such as nannies, care-takers, and yes...even tutors.\n\nI would try the high schools first.\n\nHere are a list of tutorint centers in the Portland area:\nhttp://www.anysubject.com/portland-tutors.asp\nhttp://portland.craigslist.com/lss/\nhttp://www.mindsinmotiontutoring.com/

In our state you have to be 18 to take the GED, she may however be able to finish thriugh an alternative high school.\nDistance learning, online high schools. My brother finished in a night school program. Some kids here take HSED through the school district, others go to an online high school with a different school district. Then you can always take a home study course, home school, Christian liberty academy gives a diploma you can find them online they call the program CLASS i think, it is a real diploma. Start with the school district for info,then if you get no where the local tech or Jr college, or the state department of public instruction. Good luck to you both.

I don't know but I wish your daughter good luck.  Going to a grammar school is a really good idea.  The education she's going to get there will be so much better than if she's going to a comprehensive but having said that, all is not lost if she doesn't get a place with the grammar.  At the end of the day, it is her own efforts that get her brilliant results at GCSE and A-level.
