Can you earn two high school diplomas in different countries

Can you earn two high school diplomas in different countries?
I would like to finish my high schooling in America, but if I travel abroad(to Japan) and finish high school there would I get a Japanese diploma that is invalid here? Or would it be the same as getting one here? Better? Worse? Could I do both? Thank you very much. Ali.

Are you doing an exchange? It's extremely unlikely you will receive a diploma or even any sort of formal grades. I do know a Turkish girl who graduated in Canada while on her exchange, but she spoke fluent English and managed to fill all requirements. This means that she does not have a high school diploma from her school in Turkey. She now attends an art school in Canada. Most schools will not allow exchange students to graduate, even if they speak the language fluently and do the work, so she was one of a very rare and lucky few. Most kids just go home and have to repeat their year abroad, or, if they graduated before leaving, basically just do an extra year of high school for which they receive no marks or credit. They may be allowed to take part in graduation and other stuff, but it is normally just for fun. If you are moving to Japan, that is different and I wouldn't know.

Yep. Our exchange students do it all the time. An diploma from their American high school (but be aware that many high schools do NOT graduate exchange students) and then they return home and graduate there.

In lieu of being able to give you a better answer, I can tell you how I'd feel in the reverse. I've had various positions as Academic Director, Director of Studies and Teacher Trainer in relation to EFL/ESL and during those years have interviewed, recruited, assessed, mentored, and trained many EFL/ESL teachers. What I write here is a generalisation, and every person is different, but generalisation's are useful when it comes to recruiting teachers seeing as resumes and interviews can only ever tell you so much and by the time you actually see someone teaching in practice it's usually too late to 'unhire' them: Teachers with experience in general education, especially extensive experience, tend to be worse at teaching EFL/ESL than people with no teaching experience. The two types of education are extremely different and it rarely pays to treat the two as the same type of thing.
