This is an Asian school with a very rigorous academic program. Most high schoolers have tutors (especially IB/AP math and science classes). And most parents hire someone to help with college applications. Kids with straight A's coming from U.S. schools (like Virginia) will struggle - get a tutor immediately to avoid getting Ds on their first tests. Plan to spend at $50-80 a week/per subject (usually math and science)/per student in high school. I wish I had known this before we moved here. - Dec 2021
