<p>Okay well, I used to go to Concordia in Shanghai and I had several teachers that wanted to convince me out of applying to boarding schools… They were convinced that Concordia was on par with these top prep schools and I’m actually pretty sure one of them sabotaged my first application…
But anyways, that’s not the point. The point is, these boarding schools can not be compared to ISB or SAS or WAB or HKIS or whichever international school you’re going to now. Yes, they’re good schools and they offer a decent education, but the breadth and depth of classes offered at these prep schools is incomparable to those.</p>
<p>Oh and, to Rad…
It’s actually quite different. Int’l students that are local kids from China tend not to make it because their English and/or social skills are not what the schools are looking for, unless they’re like geniuses or prodigies or something. They actually like admitting kids who go to int’l schools in China because they add to their int’l student count when those kids are actually just expats.</p>
