Should i go to International school?

[brettzz]

I'd pick a country other than Thailand, I'm going to school in Canada and my tuition is less than that for a mid-size University.. If I was an employer I'd be very skeptical of a school in Thailand if I was hiring in a Western country

What about the other kids? If they are the sons and daughters of loaded expats then that is a plus.

To me schools are about 90% good for contacts.

Just take the AP exams they only cost $87 per exam,and I think most colleges require between 4 and 6 in addition to your regular HS diploma. Its going to be just as good as the A levels or the IB diploma.

Great idea! I have 2 years time to work on IM and then taking those exams And then college time. I am aiming $10K a month by then, but lets see .

International school is great. I went to one when I was a kid. It's like a private school but even better. You will get many great opportunities because of this junction in your life. Only downside is that you and your friends end up spread around the world and you don't have the "home network" that others do who go to school and spend most of their life in their locality but its a small downside.

If you gain an internationally accredited qualification, I would recommend that you go to the International School.

The only real negative is the money. Saying that, I just noticed you are only 16. I actually doubt international school will make much difference to your life now. Schools make a difference from age of around 11 or earlier. At 16, it's unlikely to make much difference. Apart from your wallet though, it can't hurt.

you are setting up a trap for yourself. International school is not special International universities are
