Abstract: The opportunity to attend a university and pursue higher education is a dream that is shared by manyhigh school students and their parents all over the world. Students from developing countries have longstudied in the west, but the number of students from developing counties that hope to study in the westhas risen considerably in recent years. However, there is often a significant difference in the secondarycurriculum in developing countries and the secondary curriculum in western countries which can causedifficulties for students that are new to a more western oriented education. In response to this situationmany developing countries have seen an increase in privately owned schools that aim to prepare localstudents at the secondary level for academic success in western universities. However, many localinvestors face numerous difficulties in establishing a secondary school with a western curriculum intheir countries (Vietnam, 2007). One school that is attempting to face these challenges and provide awestern secondary curriculum to local students that hope to study in the west is School X (namechanged).
