They chose to study in UK and HK because they wished to become professionals. The road of becoming professionals would be shorter if they studied the qualifications which are recognized locally.
I have no figures of the nationality of the students who chose to study outside US. However, as far as I know, even if you are not an US citizen, the chance of being admitted by a top US college would be better if you are a graduate of HKIS. As far as I know, one of my son's classmates (holding HK residency) was admitted by Yale and one of my daughter's classmates (holding an Japan passport) was admitted by Stanford.
Apart from China, US education system is the largest education system in the world. Each year, about 3.0 million students take the AP and SAT examinations which are college entrance qualifications. The liberal art style education well prepares the students for colleges.
About 0.5 million students took the British A-Level examination. About 0.2 million students took the IB examinations. About 65,000 students took the HKDSE.
So you can realize that the US college entrance qualifications are well recognized by the leading universities in the world.
For diversity reason, those top colleges would like to admit applicants of US college entrance qualifications. In Hong Kong, only a handful international schools adopt the US education system. That means the competition among them for non-US colleges is less fierce than the competitions among the IB or A-Level students. So whether you aim for an US college or not, it may be a good choice for the kid to study in a school adopting the US education system.
