Training the trainers
In the midst of controversy surrounding the demolition of Mianyang Bauhinia Ethnic Secondary School to make way for luxury flats, another Hong Kong initiative to help survivors of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake is still going strong. Canada-China Culture and Education Association's teachers' professional development program has had eight sessions so far and is going from strength to strength.

Be realistic about your chances
This week we will be considering the role of standardized tests and resumes when applying to colleges in America, and the cost involved.

Playing the waiting game
Last week we looked at the early stages of applying to higher education institutes in the US. This week our focus is on acceptance deadlines and other important information, particularly in relation to the Common App.

Timetable for two
Welcome to Almitas Academy. Student population: two. And to the two pupils, 11-year-old Brandon and nine-year-old Bradley, the licensed primary school is also known as "mommy's school" - it was started by their mom, Chan-Yeo Peck Leng, last year at a cost of HK$1 million.

Acing the US application process
Last week we began looking at receiving your college education in the US. This week we cover some of the basics of the admissions process.

English as you like it
Imagine being able to declaim "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?"' when all along your English- language skills have been limited to the "hello, how are you?" variety. What a confidence booster that would be!

Receiving your college education in the US
Receiving your college education in the United States can be very different than at Hong Kong, UK or Australian universities.

Sailing on a dream
We made it! After countless hours hunched over our online applications, the hard work paid off and we were accepted for the 12th and final Pangaea Young Explorers Program selection camp.

It's not always all about the money
Today we will be looking at visas and funding for those who wish to study in Australia. As with most nations, international students from Hong Kong who want to study in Australia will need a student visa. This needs to be applied for well in advance of the start of your course.

Canadian camp out
Students always want to play during their holidays but parents prefer them to be doing something constructive. The University of British Columbias Environmental and Leadership Development Camp will satisfy both.

Getting that offer for Australia
Let's imagine that you have decided to pursue higher education in Australia, and you have a fair idea of what you would like to study and where. How should you proceed?
