It has been my experience that the school system may move you back a grade or two in order to help you. My husband moved from the PI when he was 7 and his siter came over when she was 13. Both kids were moved back about 2 grades. Feel free to contact me with questions desver@carolina.rr.com. My husbands family lives in Charleston, SC and they are all from the PI. We would love to help you as much as we can. ~Blessings, DAWN and WAYNE ESVER

Schools may ask you to take a placement exam to see what level you are at, especially for writing, reading and math.

Assuming your English, Math --- primary Core & secondary core -- Science & Social Studies --- are at par with the public high school system here in USA...again State pending, you should be in 9th grade, High School student, like other residents. Depending on each school placement tests, you may be assigned a grade lower....You may have to prepare for some High School level English & Math placement test. If you are entering College, probably may have to take the TOEFL Exam to get into public schools system. None may be required that intensely with you choose the private school route....Education is your investment to your career ambitions and contributions to the community with your knowledgeable skilled assets attained, based on your innate abilities..... Yet, another alternative education, depending on your own personal academics aspirations, you do have a choice to jump start high-school last 10th thru 12 th grades and be in US college as young as 15+ or at least 16 years old. At this private school route you may not need to take the CAHSEE Exit exam. You also get to bypass the TOEFL or SAT/ACT college entrance exams as well by choosing this alternative route. I have coached some local & international students in this viable alternative & some have already even transferred to State Universities or U.C.s of their choices as young as 17 (after having graduated with high school diploma certification at 15) & graduating with B.S. degree at 18+ years old. I am in the San Jose, California area. Should you do transfer to this Bay Area, and might be interested in this option, please email me for more specifics. ALL THE BEST IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS.

Only private schools have entrance exams which you must pass to be admitted. For public schools, you should be tested for your language skills + placement exams, but many schools just set you back a grade or two to catch up with US system. Therefore, at age 14, you should be in 9th grade (high school freshman), but you could be placed in grade 7 or 8 in middle school instead of high school. Your parents must prove that they reside in the district where they register you (in person!) for school or else they have to pay out-of-district tuition. As for "needing" an education, anyone with less than a high school diploma is pretty much unemployable - if you can't stick it through the joke that is HS, employers don't want you. And with a HS diploma, you have no skills, so you are just another wage slave until you prove you can & will do something worth paying for. You really need education and/or training in something useful to be employable in the US, and even then, there's such a huge glut of labor that over 31 million Americans are desperately seeking work. The real unemployment rate is 22.5%. Chances of you being employable in a few years are poor, to say the least. It will take years of job growth to work off some of the glut. If you are coming to the US on a visa for school, you are limited to ONE school year only on an approved international exchange student program only, living with a family. You would not be able to attend college in the US, but would have completed your requirements to return to your own country by the time you graduate college & might return for grad school.
