Hey everyone, I am from Bangladesh and i am here seeking for some pieces of advice. So, i currently study in Grade-IX and as soon as I finish my O’levels i want to come to the USA for Grade- XI and XII. Will it be possible to do so?
Yes, as long as you are allowed to study in the US. Foreign students usually apply to private boarding schools to complete highschool education.
Well, you would be allowed to if you can pay for a boarding school or have family near an approved high school. However you can’t just “show up” without a visa.
Presuming that you have a visa and you can live here legally, your house / apartment will be in a zone for a specific public high school. That school will allow you to enter. They must by law allow anyone within their zone to take classes there. New York City and some other areas have schools that take students that do not rely on zones. There are various other ways to apply for high schools. Some are Charter schools each with a specific application method (charters are public schools that act like private schools n many ways); some are “magnet” schools that attempt to attract students with specific talents or interests. They may have auditions or testing requirements, etc. In other words, once you know where you will be, you can see the rules in that area. Be aware that high schools in the US vary greatly in terms of quality. Housing prices are often driven up if in zones of good schools. Researching the “best” high school in a given area is prudent before choosing where you live.
