WHILE his classmates at Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) were deciding between the junior college and polytechnic route after completing their O levels last December, Dylan Soh decided to take the path less travelled and headed to Finland.

Now, having spent the last six months in the Etela Tapiolan lukio, an international high school in Espoo where lessons are taught in English and Finnish, the 16-year-old says he has no regrets for having taken the unusual route.
