Studying abroad not for every child

Parents should have 'candid' chat with kids about decision: head of US school

Yang Runrun, a student at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, can't help envisioning campus life in the United States after earning a spot in the core leadership summer program at the Hotchkiss School.

"I am looking forward to further interacting with American peers and experiencing the secondary education in America in depth," said Yang, who will spend two weeks in the US in June with the program offered by Hotchkiss, a renowned boarding high school in Lakeville, Connecticut.
