<p>Hey guys, I’m a US student and I’m trying to come up with a list of major international high schools which could be considered feeders to US universities. I’ve heard of the United World College, but other than that, could you guys help me out? Also, what are some other common websites for international students interested in US universities?</p>
<p>Any of the American international schools</p>
<p>In India, the major HSs (in no particular order) are:</p>
<p>[ul]
<a href=“R”></a>Dun School, Dehradun
<a href=“R”></a>Lawrence, Ooty
<a href=“NR”></a>Padmasheshadri, Chennai
<a href=“NR”></a>DPS, Delhi
<a href=“NR%20and%20R”></a>Bishop Cotton Boys School, Bangalore
<a href=“NR”></a>National Public School, Bangalore
<a href=“NR”>*</a>MIS, Delhi
[/ul]</p>
<p>R-Residential
NR-Non Residential</p>
<p>That list is based on the Outlook Rating of schools, and my own knowledge.
There are a few more elitist Residential schools which are well know, but I just can’t remember them now. :p</p>
<p>There is an American Int’l school in Chennai, but, the results weren’t all that impressive this year (I went there to write my APs, so I talked to a few students)…they’ve seen better results before though.</p>
<p>In costa rica we have as major/respected/prestigious whatever schools, that send a bunch of students to the US every year ( though not necesarrily to top 25 schools, but a bunch do go there).</p>
<p>In no order:
Lincoln high school ( IB,American diploma, and CR diploma)
Country day school ( AP)
Blue Valley school (IB)
British School (msot students go one to stuyd in UK but a lot also end up in the US)
thats about it</p>
<p>in china i think hongkong international school (hkis) is the best international school to go to (in terms of history curriculum college acceptances etc plus they have good swimmers)
some of the other schools i know are
taipei american school (best in taiwan imo)
international school of beijing (best in beijing imo)
shanghai american school (best in shanghai imo)
singapore american school (not in china technically though…)</p>
<p>Cairo American College
TASIS Switzerland and England
Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt lima, Peru</p>
<p>Raffles Junior College (Singapore) </p>
<p>Wallstreet Journal described us as an “Ivy League machine” in an article entitled “Gateway to the Ivy League.” Here’s a link to a blog which posted the article in its entirety.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2004/05/raffles_junior_.html[/url]”>http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2004/05/raffles_junior_.html</a> </p>
<p>Though, other top junior colleges here in Singapore (such as Hwa Chong Junior College) send students in droves to top US unis also.</p>
<p>In Jordan
Amman baccalaureate School
Modern Montessouri School
American Community School</p>
<p>In Australia (Sydney) - </p>
<p>Public Schools</p>
<p>James Ruse Agricultural High School
North Sydney Girls High School
Baulkham High School</p>
<p>In Taiwan,
TAS ( Taipei American School ) is the most considerated one for parents around in Taipei area, other than that, also have TES (Taipei European School) and other smaller schools.
Have to bring out Morrison Academy and National Experimental High School at Science Based Industrial Park. NEHS can’t really refer to international S. but it is mostly for the kids who studied in US before ( has be more than x years and the parents have to work in the SBIP ) and wanna apply for the US Universities. </p>
<p>TAS, Morrison and NEHS all have many people enter into Ivies each year.</p>
<p>In Japan,
we have ALOT of international schools but not everyone is for the “foreigner”. American School in Japan might be the most popular one in Japan.</p>
<p>Expanding on Japan:
American School in Japan (ASIJ, but lovingly known among us DoDEA kids as other things)- A lot of the American kids that go here have parents who work for the embassy. Major feeder from what I know.
St. Maur (in Yokohama)- Catholic school, IB oriented. Another feeder.</p>
<p>There are others, but I’m not all that familiar with them. There are also the DoDEA schools here (which I attend). Most of the kids that go here are somehow affilated with the U.S. military, so the fact that a majority of the students attend U.S. universities is a given. However, there are some locals that go to DoDEA schools, and a majority of them end up going to U.S. universities, too.</p>
<p>Expanding on all TAS mentions. I think any school in IASAS – I’ve forgotten what that stands for, but it’s a coalition of southeast Asia American schools, should be included.</p>
<p>There’s again, Taipei American School (TAS). - sinaek I disagree with your classification. =)
Singapore American School (SAS).
International School of Bangkok (ISB).
International School of Manilla (ISM).
Jakarta International School (JIS).
International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL).</p>
<p>The International School of Manila holds a special spot in my heart. The valedictorian from either the class of 2004 or 2005 is now attending Harvard.</p>
<p>And I’ll second Hong Kong International School and the American School in Japan. A few of their sports teams (basketball and soccer, I think) participate in the DoDEA tournaments and they’ve garnered a moderately notorious reputation with us in terms of academics as well. As a DoDEA kid, I’m not too fond of them. But that’s a different story.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow. Ego much?</p>
<p>^ I second ISM. The Valedictorian of 2004 DID get to Harvard. My friend’s sister was in his class. And I’m pretty sure that same year another guy was offered a full scholarship to both Princeton and Harvard. I don’t really know how that would compare to other international schools but IMO; South-East Asian International Schools ie. IASAS schools have pretty good college matriculations overall with ivy acceptances every year.</p>
<p>Yeah… but I hope he was misquoted…</p>
<p>Many of the strong International Schools are certified by ECIS(European Council of International Schools-- but it is not only for European schools)- go to their website for a listing of schools. There are hundreds worldwide. Then there is ISS (International School Service)-- also a large clustering of international schools that are typically a bit smaller. </p>
<p>Then there are the national schools in many countries that also matriculate many students to the US.</p>
<p>Kuwait</p>
<p>American International School in Kuwait
American School of Kuwait</p>
<p>A guy from the TAS class of 2005 went to Harvard, and our valedictorian (class of 06) went to Stanford.</p>
<p>In Canada:</p>
<p>Brentwood College
Upper Canada College
Appleby College
Ashbury College
Ridley College
Shawinigan Lake School
Branksome Hall
Old Scona Academic HS
Univ. of Toronto Schools
Havergal College</p>
