Facebook CEO Mark Zackerberg and Former President George Bush are alumnae of boarding school. Top boarding schools often require TOEFL and SSAT scores to get in. If your child needs extra training in English language, there are schools that offer ESL programs. Prepare early as possible to secure a place in the world's top school.

Reasons why we recommend study abroad in high school

1.　It will bring a head start in applying to top universities of North America and Europe.
2.　Invaluable opportunity that cannot be experienced in your country!
3.　Prepare for a global arena at an early age while preserving a national identity.

◆1.　A head start in applying to top universities of North America and Europe
Students are normally not eligible to apply to universities of North America and Europe with only a diploma from a high school outside North America and Europe. You will need an intensive preparation to score high in standardized tests required for application. You might need to take foundation courses to prepare for application. Acquiring a high school diploma from a high school in North America or Europe is the most efficient way to study at universities in North America and Europe.

◆2.　Invaluable experience
Spending adolescent years abroad is always a special opportunity and makes life richer. Your child will be exposed to different culture and language at an early age.

◆3.　Prepare for a global arena at an early age while preserving a national identity
Living in the mother country up to middle school is enough to cultivate national identity. High school is the best age for your child’s global education. It is worth noting that some boarding schools offer courses in various languages. It is possible for your child to retain national identity and fluency in mother tongue and receive higher education in English.
