<p>Hi. Does anybody know whether transitioning from a foriegn country to American high school (12th Grade) is difficult? </p>
<p>Yes. You’re joining a school where the people have known each other for YEARS and your classmates will be upperclassmen. </p>
<p>My daughter’s study abroad program said that it’s easier for an American to adjust to a foreign school than vice versa, at least socially.</p>
<p>How about in terms of attaining anove average grades? If i can obtain A’s where i am right now, i’ll be able to do just as well in America right? </p>
<p>Where are you from?</p>
<p>Well im from America, my family moved abroad for a few years. Im doing O Levels (a UK based education system). </p>
<p>I don’t know much about the UK in particular, but you should be fine if you plan on transitioning into regular or honors courses. AP may be a bit too tough, though, depending on your general attitude towards school.</p>
