<p>My son has been in international schools since fourth grade and is interested in international relations and development. Any thoughts on this course of study as well as relative merits of the three schools?</p>
<p>the advantage to Brown would be the opportunity to regularly hear from important policy makers, diplomats and scholars at the Joukowsky Forum, and the opportunity to take classes with people like Fernando Henrique Cardoso (former President of Brazil), Xu Wenli (founder of Democratic Party in China), and Sergei Khruschev (Nikita Khrushchev's son).</p>
<p>The Watson Institute also has a highly elaborate international relations program with many classes, tracks, and choices</p>
