5. School
School life abroad can vary significantly from what your teen is used to. Here are some key considerations:
- School subjects and size: Mandatory and optional subjects vary by country and may vary even within the country. Schools come in all shapes and sizes. The High School Select program offers more flexibility for specific needs.
- Distance to school: Students may need to commute by bus, similar to their home country.
- Grades and transcripts: Most schools do not hand out grades or transcripts for exchange students.
