Answer 1

Consider a Foreign Exchange Program...  

Answer 2

i think it would be best until you finish your grades in england and then go over and stay with your father!

you started your gcse's already, you may aswell finish them off then started something completely new

i would love to move to america, i hope you enjoy yourself over there!

Good Luck x

Answer 3

I am pretty sure you transfer as you would to any other school. But I am unsure. I live in California and can tell you that the US has a lot of great schools but we also have some schools that should not be given the time of day.

Answer 4

idk but i moved from Milwaukee, WIsconsin(im usa)

to oshkosh, Wisconsin. -->and it wasnt that bad but u leave all ur friends n stuff in ur old city..

Answer 5

My thinking is that you will be ahead of the average high schooler here in America.  Depending on the courses you've taken, I don't see too much of a problem for you.  If you are a strong enough student, there's a possibility of testing out of a required course or two, though it depends if a given school allows that option.  I don't know the schools in the DC area, but I'd bet there are some pretty good private schools.  Look for a good school, and, at the very least, make the best of whatever school you choose.  Good luck!

Answer 6

yes its easy. you just have to apply for whatever school out there you wish to attend, if you get the place your in, and you just start there.

i think it sounds really good.

i would have loved to go to school in america (:
