Im 13 at the moment and next year I'll be starting high school I am so scared because I dont know where I want to go. My parents gave me a few options and said I should pick whatever one I like. I live in Arizona, USA and I can either go to a high school there but its a private high school but a boy&girl one. I would be a day student and could live at home. The second option is a boarding school. It's called 'Stowe' and its in Buckingham, England. Its also a boy&girl one. The reson WHY this school is because my dad is Italian, but he moved to England when he was 11 and thats the school he went to before he came to the US and he said it he had the time of his life. I like both! If I stayed in Arizona, I would still be able to always be with my family and friends BUT if I moved to England I would have a whole new experience the only thing is I would be so far away from my family. I would see my grandparents in london a lot, but would only go back to the USA on holidays so I wont see my parents and friends often and I know I will miss them so much:( I really need advice. If you were in my position, what would you pick? Im so scared to make the wrong decision:( public school sounds like heaven but my parents wont let me even talk about that:((

Personally, I liked public school. You get to meet an interesting variety of people, and that is important because A) it helps you develop socially, and B) expands your perception of race and tolerance. Maybe the education is of a lower quality, but if you pick a decent public school, that won't be a factor. If you go to school with a bunch of people who are exactly like you, you won't learn as much-- and I mean that in the sense of culture as well as basic knowledge. Public school helps you develop "street smarts", and those become increasingly important the older and more independent you become. Knowing how to interact with and get along with a wide variety of people is critical in college, and the easiest way to learn how to do that is in public school.

Because I really LOVE England, I say go to England. If you plan on going to college, they will look at the schools you have attended and stuff and maybe be impressed that you went there. I'm moving to London when I graduate high school. Life's better in England..not that theres anything wrong in the U.S but common, England lol. (: High school is great but if I had the option to go to Stowe, I would. But don't forget, this is your decision so do your research and see what's really best for you. Good luck! (:
