If you know where you want to live, why not contact a couple of the high schools and ask them about their system/subjects etc. They also may be able to set her up with a pen pal who she can email/msn and find out more.

My daughter started high school in UK in september and will be in her last year of primary here in Aus (but still year 7), she's been chatting for a good few months to someone who will be in her class, they've met since we arrived and she's been chatting to other new school friends on msn. It's made the whole settling in process much easier, she can't wait to go to school.

Arriving January has been good for us, as the school year starts on the 31st, my daughter will get a full year in before high school and it's given her the chance to meet and socialise with her new friend before she starts her first day.
