Each school is different, so your school needs to determine this for itself. What I can tell you is what our school does -- unless the overseas school is accredited by CITA (forgive me, I forget what that stands for), the classes overseas are treated the same way that home-school classes are treated - they count towards the required credits for gradation but grades and such would not transfer. (If the school IS CITA accredited, everything transfers.) So, for example, if you take (and pass) a semester math class, you would get 1/2 of a credit applied to the 3 credits needed for graduation. Sorry to be a broken record, but your school is the only one that can tell you what the 'right' answer is for your school. Talk to your school counselor. Another option is to go during the summer. Good luck!
