Even I know that International schools in Europe deliver high quality education. Why would it matter if an American school is licat s in Portugal or Germany or Croatia?

Report back when the college process starts.

Agree. Leave please and let us know how this all works out in three or four years. Ba-bye!

The choice between an education in the Boston burbs vs. the education in a country ranked lower than Costa Rica isn't really a "choice." It's more like common sense. Mortgaging your child's education to play soccer in Portugal is the height of stupidity. I'd wish you good luck, but we all know how this will end so it seems a bit disingenuous.

Whether or not a parent is engaged in the child's education is what is most vital. A child left in a Boston suburb school system without a parent being actively involved in their education is vastly inferior to any other school, including the one's discussed here, or I should say school where a parent is involved in the child's education.

Most of what United States Public Schools teach is garbage so I would feel very bad for any kid that doesn't have a parent at home to teach the child exactly what's garbage and exactly what's valuable. It is somewhat analogous to parents thinking they can send their kids to the revs Academy and they're automatically going to turn out to be the next Leo Messi. If a parent is not directly engaged also with that child's development, then that player is going nowhere.

Why wouldn't he be jealous? Breezing through a sub-par curriculum is like being on an extended vacation. Soccer first while education is a distant second, if not third. It's a teen's dream. When all is said and done I hope the positive memories abroad outweigh the realities of not playing pro, and potentially a middling collegiate career.

A Brown professor is not going to put education on a back burner. On the other hand, if they won't play pro, what's wrong with playing in Europe now, when they can?
