Cela fait maintenant 2 ans que je pense sérieusement et que je me documente pour aller chez les Ricains.
Je navigue donc entre les textes de loi et les sites d'organismes mais c'est ardu.
Je vous explique, j'aimerais passer ma high school pour être gradué et intégrer dans la foulée une école de la Ivy League pour être pris dans un cabinet de BigLaw.
Je suis un surdoué au Quotient Intellectuel de 150, possède de très bonnes capacités sociales, sportives, musicales et bien sûr cognitives.
Mais je n'ai jamais vu un moyen d'intégrer une high school pour un cursus et non pas une année.
Si vous pouviez m'aider, comme vous l'avez fait il y a 5 ans pour un autre dans une situation assez similaire mais plus contraignante, je vous serai redevable.
Si tu n'es pas accompagne par tes parents, ca risque d'etre difficile. Peut etre par un organisme d'echange (mais en general cela s'adresse plutot aux eleves du superieur ou eventuellement terminale)? Si tes parents ou un tuteur legal travaille sous visa aux USA alors, comme il y en a beaucoup autour de nous ici en Caroline du sud (faute d'infrastructures francophones), tu pourras facilement integrer une high school, y faire tes preuves (gifted or talented programs) pour continuer la route que tu veux suivre.
Voila
Bonne continuation
Fred
Bonjour à tous,

Bonjour Evan,
Quel est ton niveau d'anglais?
Si tu penses à aller aux EtatsUnis depuis 2 ans, tu as dû essayer de t'améliorer en anglais. Mais arrives-tu à suivre des séries en Vo sans sous titres français? A lire des livres pour les 12-15 ans en anglais? Des livres sur des sujets qui t"intéressent? (Si oui, lesquels?)
Vas sur ce site:
https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat/new-sat-tips-planning/new-sat-how-to-prep/a/full-length-psat-nmsqt
Passe le PSAT Practice Test 1.
Calcule ton score et poste le ici ou envoie-le moi en message privé.
Selon ton résultat, il y a différentes possibilités.
NE TRICHE PAS car les solutions dépendent de ton score et si tu donnes un score qui ne te correspond pas les solutions ne seront pas adaptées et ne t'aideront donc pas à réaliser ton projet.
Tu peux faire des études aux Etats-Unis avec un diplôme français (bac) ou américain, y compris en Ivy League/Little Ivy/Ivy+ (toutes les "grandes écoles" ne sont pas nécessairement connues en France - par exemple, pour Big Law d'excellentes écoles sont Middlebury, Bates, Bowdoin, Hamilton, Colby... dont tu n'as sans doute jamais entendu parler). Donc ton projet peut s'accomplir même si tu ne vas pas en HS aux USA.
Ceci dit le système américain, plus flexible, pourrait mieux te convenir. En effet les cours suivis ne correspondent pas nécessairement à l'âge mais au niveau atteint. Donc par exemple si tu es bon en maths tu suivras des cours de niveau prépa MPSi dès la 1e, par contre si tu n'es pas bon en maths tu seras en cours de maths niveau 3e.
Aux US il existe aussi des parcours pour enfants ayant un QI élevé.

Pourquoi Harrogate?
Alors oui mon niveau d'anglais est équivalent à B+/C il me semble.
Par exemple je suis parti en Angleterre seul et je n'ai eu aucun problème à communiquer, autant au niveau de langue familier que courant que soutenu en passant par le langage argotique.
Je regarde des séries en VO et n'ai aucun problème de compréhension de l'écrit.
Mon père me pousse à aller à l'étranger depuis que j'ai 11 ans et ma mère est réticente de me laisser partir à mon âge mais sera heureuse si je le suis.
Je ferai le test quand j'aurai le temps.
Merci !
Vu l’état d'avancement de votre projet, je ne perdrais pas de temps en contingences administratives. Je contacterai d'ores et déjà les cabinets de Big Law qui, j'en suis certain, se feront un plaisir de s'arracher vos services le moment venu, et en attendant règleront toutes ces petites formalités en vous accompagnant dans vos études y compris dans un établissement de la Ivy League...
"Le touriste apparait comme le principal agent de diffusion du mépris anti touristique. Plus le touriste se voit en miroir de l'autre, plus il le déteste".
Etes vous sérieux quand vous me parlez de contacter un cabinet ?
Cela me semble peu probable qu'il parient sur un gamin de 13 ans au point de débourser 300/400k...
Bonjour Evan,
tu ne peux pas t'évaluer avec des lettres... ça n'indique rien. (B+/C en Grande Bretagne ça veut dire 10-12 de moyenne, aux Etats-Unis 7-11 de moyenne... et on ne sait pas par rapport à quel niveau: 7-11 par rapport à un niveau de TL LVA ce n'est pas pareil que 7-11 par rapport à un niveau de ES/S qui n'est pas pareil que 7-11 en termes de 4e-3e).
Si tu connais le CECR et que tu entres en 3e, ton niveau peut être A1+, A2, A2+, B1, voire B1+.
En gros, A2= autour de 10-12 de moyenne en 3e. B1+ = 18-20. La majorité des élèves est au niveau A2+ ou B1.
Voici deux tests (utilise une adresse email créée exprès et qui n'indique pas ton nom)
http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/fr/test-your-english/for-schools/http://www.altissia.com/fr/test-de-niveau-anglais-en-ligne-altissia/test-de-niveau-anglais-en-ligne-altissia/
Pardon je m'étais trompé, je parlais de B2/C1 en niveau d'anglais quelle confusion !
Je devais pas être très bien !
Je n'ai pas eu le temps de faire le test avec la rentrée, j'ai néanmoins imprimé les feuilles et le ferai quand j'aurai le temps.
Je vais faire les tests d'anglais que tu as linked même s'il me semble les avoir déjà faits.
OK, good.
Try to find (some of) the following books (they can be bought used online or downloaded on a Kindle). Pick those that most appeal to you and start reading. Let me know once you're done with one and what you thought of it. They're all good in their own style and part of the prep school/honors curriculum.
- A separate peace
- To kill a mockingbird
- Science fair season
- Other people's houses
- Guns, germs, and steel
- The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks
- The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime
- All-American Boys
- Smart (Kim Slater)
- Rumors of Peace
- Looking for Alaska
- Eight Boys in a boat
- Absolutely true diary of a part time Indian
- Bad boy, a memoir
- Migrant mother
OK. Move to reading some of the books in the list above.
Can you take the PSAT?
Because that result will condition what you can do in terms of US schooling.
Ok :) They're the type of books you're supposed to be able to read if you want to start schooling in the US. I picked those I find most interesting. Some are more or less difficult and all should be available used (so they're cheaper).
As for the PSAT, I was referring to this part of my first message:

Note: avoid using "gonna" in written form. It's purely spoken English. Use the full form (going to) when you write even if you use "gonna" when you speak.
Did you take the SSAT, PSAT, or SAT, and using what platform (Khan Academy)?
Because the scoring scales are different depending on test and platform. (Khan Academy uses the "real" thing).
I need to total score.
In the meanwhile, here's some more reading. These schools are relatively different in philosophy and outlook. Which ones appeal to you and why?
You're amazing !
How do you know these whole lot of things ?
I'm taking the PSAT but it's definitely long !
I printed 4 answers sheets (is sheets the right word ?) and I read the wording with the pdf file.
I completed 1 sheet and a half.
I am going to (look, I learned from my mistakes !) look at every website (I spent my time to find a High school, so that is going To be easier !)
Here are my favorites schools, I am going to study more deeply the differents schools and the ones that you gave me.
I like them because they are serious, beautiful, large and all around NYC.
I would like a school with these skills, with a big stadium, a lot of courses, like law or political sciences lessons and for sure pretty girls (haha a little bit of humo(u)r) !
You should know what I mean.
Some of the schools I listed are very famous. They're very, very hard to get into - your scores need to be very high. However they have excellent financial aid (I don't know how much your parents make, and DO NOT reveal this online, but these schools cost a lot of money because they're like small towns all for students.)
You shouldn't choose schools due to their location. You'll NEVER go to the city. You'll stay on campus and live there, which is why finding a "good fit" is essential. The campus and school, with their mission, their philosophy... must feel "like home".
Hum, I don't think that my english is good enough to get into these schools.
If that can help, I got family members in Boston, but I've never seen them before.
How often do you go to Paris? Not often, I bet. Perhaps for a vacation, when you're not in school.
Well, it's the same here. You're not going on a tourist trip. You're going to school. So, you'll be attending school, doing your homework, participating in clubs and sport teams, going to cheer on sports game for your school (or play in it)... there'll be no time for trips to the city. You'll live on campus. The campus is set up like a small town, with many buildings, and that's where you'll spend your time. There'll be some long weekends when you'll get a pass to town if you didn't misbehave, and some longer breaks when you go wherever your friend(s) go home to, but day in, day out, you'll be living on campus... that's the whole point of a boarding school.
To have a good idea, read/watch Harry Potter.
Notice how much time they spend at Hogwarts, and how often they go off campus to Hogsmeade.
You're smart: make your English better. Read books in English (a list's been conveniently provided :p)
If you've never met your relatives in Boston, time for your parents to get in touch and see if you can go spend a couple weeks there over the summer.
And, second, to look at boarding schools within a 60 miles radius to Boston (I'll do that, once you have a PSAT score).
BTW, if you're good at math, work on your math, because the French curriculum is slow and very bad compared to what many "advanced" kids have in the US.
You're godddamn (sorry but I had to) right, I just have to work.
My english because I'm going to speak that language everyday, and if I want to have a chance to get a into the schools, I must learn English.
My maths because I'm so good at maths but probably not compared to the US kids.
And become smarter because I like the work, and the knowledge.
It's difficult to make a selection among: "A seperate peace", "to kill a mockingbird", "guns, germ & steel" and "Looking for Alaska" !
What's your advice ?
See if your local library has any of them and borrow them (many local libraries have books in English); then, with the amount of money you're allocated, buy the one(s) you like best. Then have the other one(s) on your "to read" list :)
To kill a mockingbird, A Separate Peace, are classics studied in the 9th grade. Looking for Alaska is one of the most banned books for youth (with Harry Potter) and well known from most Americans going to biaridng school. Guns, germs, and steel is part of the non fiction reading curriculum in the 10th or 11tg grade so it's harder and ahoukd probably be takxeled after the others

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D
I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...).
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.
In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there?
Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!
Thanks for your feedback!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga.
To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that...
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background:
• I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*.
• I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor.
• Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience:
• I work as an *Employment Counselor*.
• I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0.
• I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles?
We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!!
Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin.
I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well:
I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers?
First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand?
Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
