Finish high school in UK

Finish high school in UK ?
I live in Belgium, and I'm doing my 5th year secondary (11th grade?) here, one more year to go before college. For a stupid mistake that I did, I got expelled from school 2 months before finishing my 5th (which was actually a week ago, my grades were good, thats not the problem). I want to study/live/work in UK. I have the money, a place to stay and I know people there. But I'm not really familiar with the education system, GED and the rest. Is it possible to finish high school in UK ? if so, can I get accepted into 6th grade instead of repeating 5th again. or maybe I should go for a GED ? Will I get accepted into a college with a GED (ICT related courses) ? What are my choices ? BIG THANKS !!!!

GED is not the way to go. It is more respectable to go all the way through. Some institutions take that as the easy way out of the classroom. A standard diploma has more weight than that and some universities and jobs will not consider applicants with a GED. It depends on if all your credits from your high school have equivalents in the UK. That will determine if you must repeat Grade 5 again. You will have to send full transcripts to the Kingdom. Some schools may block you from transferring if the offence was really bad. Since you are Belgian (from Wallonie or Vlaans I don't know) and not from an Anglophonic country, you may also have to ace an English competency test in order to be integrated with other high school students or be given special attention with ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. Your English seems fine to me though.

Is it a good idea to attend a university outside of the US, such as the UK after finishing high school

Is it a good idea to attend a university outside of the US, such as the UK after finishing high school?
Please share your thoughts/opinions/ideas about having a graduating high school student attend a university in the UK, rather than in the US? You guys think it's a good or bad idea?

I think it is a good idea. But, I don't know much about any Universitys in the U.S or U.K, because I live in Australia. Sometimes you need to move away to receive the best education for the career you are wishing to join, particualy if your career is in science. Just chose the school with the highest education, and its totally up to you. But just be careful because this will be a big decision. Good Luck, and work hard!

Hello again! Do you mean an upper school (16+)? If you're talking about a 3 year BA course or National diploma, they generally accept people 16 years or over, some schools are 18 but think that's mainly contemporary. Most of them don't have dorms. The Royal Ballet (upper) School as far as i'm aware organize guardians for under 18's to live with of if you're 18 you can make your own arrangements, lots of people live with friends (usually from their year group) English National Ballet school have a hostel set up, so that is kind of like dorms. Central School of Ballet, I think they organize their own living arrangements or the have a guardian sort of set up. Elmhurst have dorms, houses that the upper school students share. Rambert are guardians or if you older find your own (they help you find stuff). But generally speaking all the people i know prefer to live with their friends and piers from their year. If you where talking about lower schools, Royal have white lodge boarding school), Elmhurst the same and the other schools i mentioned don't have lower schools. Hope that helps!

Anyone in Uk, Or USA, help me with this school decision!! it's very important

Anyone in Uk, Or USA, help me with this school decision!! it's very important?
OK, so just to stART off here's some backround info on the school sytems. UK: You go to primary and secondary school. Then when you're done with secondary you go to get your A levels, at the age of 16-18.(2 years) USA:You go to ghischool, graduate hgihschool at 18, then go to college. I really WANT TO GO TO A COLLEGE IN the UK. Like i'm sure of it. I'm in 9th grade, and here's the catch. I'm deciding between graduating highscool and trying to get in to a uni in the UK(it's hard to get in if overseas and about 3 times as much money) Or, after 10th grade going to get my A levels in the UK, so i can get in to a uni in the UK easier, and A TON less money. Which one do you think i should do? Either way, i'm getting a better education for the future. It's just that i am goin to live in the UK when i'm older, and so i think i should go to et my A levles at 16, because ppl out there know what it is, but i'm not sure. what do you think

You can't do A-levels if you don't do GCSEs. The best thing to do, If you really want to do A-levels, is to move to the UK as soon as possible. You would be in 2 months into Year 10, which is like a GCSE preparation year. The following (year 11) would be the year you would do your GCSEs. If You need more information on GCSEs or anything else, leave a message.

Think really carefully...the UK is not a fantastic place to be...expensive, crowded, miserable weather, hard to get a house. Are you sure? If so, I would get over here and do the A levels first
2 :
I think the easiest way to go about it would be to stay in the US and go to a private school which offers the IB (International Baccalaureate) course, which is accepted by UK universities, and in some ways preferred over A-levels. I think this would actually be a good deal cheaper than moving to England to finish High School. I don't really understand why you think it would be cheaper to go to uni in England if you lived there for a couple of years before hand. Do you have dual citizenship or something? Do you have family in the UK? I don't think going to a foreign country on your own at 16 would be a very good idea, In fact, I'm not sure if it would be allowed under immigration law.

In the past students took an exam at 12 and if they passed they went to the grammar school to do more difficult courses history, geography, Latin,maths. This would lead to O and A levels. If they failed they went to the secondary modern where they generally did practical courses and did CSE exams, The system continues in a few places like Buckinghamshire but students all do GCSE's now. In most places this system was scrapped and replaced by schools who taught everything to everyone (a comprehensive education). All of the above are government run Private schools don't exist. I think you mean Public schools are ones which people pay for their children to attend such as Eton, Harrow

i dont know if this will help at all but.... i'm not sure how you're school is about transferring credits and so on, but there are a lot of exchange programs that would allow you do complete one year of school in another country and have it count for one year of school at your high school. AFS is an awesome program. We hosted quite a few students when i was younger.
2 :
Contact the British Council in your city or region or go to their website http://www.britishcouncil.org. You may also want to search for a list of private schools and pre-university colleges: http://www.educationuk.org/ In general, I believe you may need to complete the GCSE program that usually lasts 2 years, once you complete this course, then you will go on to prepare for your A-level exams or for the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Do some research, get a list of schools and colleges that offer admission to international students (use the links above), and contact the schools directly. Good luck!

Well technically you aren't old enough to be on your own. Since most school require to see your parents to attend to get you into highschool plus birth records and addresses. If you have the money for an apartment and car and all that stuff then go right ahead. GoodLuck! =]
2 :
The only way would to be an exchange student, other then that you won't be able to just come over to go to school at that age. And school is different here...we really don't have "A-levels", and in order to graduate, you need to stay in school until you're 17 or 18.
3 :
Are you crazy. 16 and by yourself? You'll be pimped out within two weeks. If your serious, then check on exchange student programs, otherwise do yourself a favor and stop thinking america is a sweet and innocent place. You'll get straight jacked here with that "trusting" attitued.
4 :
High school would be difficult for you, especially as US schools don't offer A-levels and would require you to be there for the whole four years of high school. You could however look into going to university in America. This isn't cheap, but it would give you a great experience. I went to college in San Diego, California, and I would absolutely recommend it. You could contact individual universities for details of financial aid and scholarships that would be available to international students. Good luck!
5 :
US high schools don't offer A levels. The closest US equivalent is either the IB diploma, which not every school offers, or AP classes and exams, which many schools do. You can't move to the US on your own and attend a public school (a school you don't pay for.) You won't be given a visa. The exception would be if you enrol in a US private school (a school where you pay tuition to attend, and can live there - a boarding school, like Eaton and etc.) You'd be able to attend a school like that, live on campus, and etc., as an international student. Many of those schools offer the IB diploma, and AP classes/exams. There are even some British schools in the US that offer A levels. British schools in America: http://www.britishschool.org/ Some private schools I'd have you look at include: Choate Rosemary Hall â€¢ Deerfield Academy â€¢ The Hill School â€¢ Hotchkiss School â€¢ Lawrenceville School â€¢ Loomis Chaffee â€¢ Phillips Academy Andover â€¢ Phillips Exeter Academy â€¢ St. Paul's School â€¢ Taft School â€¢ Cushing Academy â€¢ Northfield Mount Herman School â€¢ Groton School â€¢ Harvey School â€¢ Hackley School Another option is to attend university in the US. There are some "early college (university) programs" in the US, which allow students of your age and academic level to jump right to university. Simon's Rock of Bard College is the most famous of these, but there are others.

Yes and no. If you get an MD at an accredited UK university you will get a very good medical education, as good as at a US university. But the way the medical profession is regulated medical degrees earned in one country do not automatically allow you to practice in another. So you would have to re-qualify in the US.
