I have had two families during my years, as first wife passed away from breast cancer - we had a daughter together - she grew up going to international schools in several countries except for 6th grade in California and a part of a test her 6th grade class took the PSAT or SAT (I forget) and she scored higher than the national average for that year so the international schools did well with her. My second family, we also have a daughter...went to Thai schools for 5 years - waste of time both for her and us as we kept trying what was supposedly one of the top schools but we learned quickly that for her future we needed something else. We relocated to CM and she tested and joined the CM International school - greatest for sure! She graduated speaking, reading, writing, and understanding 4 different languages - Thai, English, Korean and Chinese. The Korean language was self taught as she was a fan of the K-POP and has passed to the highest level on the international korean proficiency test (level 6) and is entering her 3rd year at the top Thai university and has been selected to spend that 3rd year at a top Korean University as an exchange student. We have never pushed her at all, as CMIS teachers seem to make their students want to excel in learning and succeeded with her. She was accepted with scholarships to US colleges but for personal reasons opted to stay in Thailand. From what I have written you should be able to understand that if our daughter wanted to go to Harvard University and was accepted then we would totally support her in her wishes. She loves school and learning and also joins many school activities every year and has seemed to know what she wants to do upon finishing graduate school in a few more years and we will continue supporting her 100% so that she remains a HAPPY person. Sorry for this long-winded explanation of why we would support her going to Harvard.
