LONDON -- Andrew Wong was all set to send his daughter to Queen Margaret's School for Girls, a boarding school in York, hoping that the 43,000 pounds ($57,617) he would pay in annual fees would provide her with a better education than any school in Hong Kong.
But in June, three months before the start of term, he received a letter informing him that the school would close after 125 years.
