<p>Awards: 2 awards in improvements in academics and topped my class each term last year, top 10 in my level for history last year </p>

<p>Others: specially picked by vice principal for hong kong exchange programme and I learned Chinese for 6 years , I did a school based public service announcemt on homophobia</p>

<p>I have sat for my ssats and got a 95th percentile. I was wondering which boarding schools you guys could suggest with these qualifications ,I realize that the HADES schools are out of my reach so are there any other suggestions? I wish to go to boarding school to broaden my perspective .</p>

<p>For academics im leaning more towards the arts such as painting,history,languages and literature.
I don’t need financial aid
I would like a school which could present me with many oppurtunities which is intertwined with community service,conservation projects maybe archaeology. Basically broadening my perspectives<br>
School size,geographic location and number of international students don’t really matter
But I would like a school which is liberal and leans more towards the democratic side.
I hope you guys could help</p>
