HOLD FOR STORY BACK TO SCHOOL CHINA HIGH SCHOOL IN AMERICA In this photo taken Thursday, June 26, 2014, 16-year-old Zhang Kaisheng studies near advertisements for oversea schools at Focus Education, a tutoring and consulting agency in Beijing, China. Like a growing number of Chinese teenagers, Zhang plans to enroll this fall in a private U.S. high school where he and his parents hope he will get a more well-rounded _ if far more expensive _ education. Tuition, room and board can cost around $40,000 _ three to four times more than an elite private school in China. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan) (Ng Han Guan)
