We spend an extensive amount of time and effort planning for a
child's placement into a homestay environment, school, and special
activities. As each child adapts to his/her studies in a foreign
country, our representatives are there to help them if they face
cultural, educational, and emotional adjustments. We offers a
well-rounded experience for each child by providing Day Schools and
homestay families who embrace our children as their own. Our
representatives stay in constant communication with each child and give
them contact information for instant results with any questions or
challenges.
Benefits that separate our program apart from other Day School
homestay programs, we provide:
- A safe family environment abroad
- The opportunity to share the student's culture
- The chance to experience the culture of the homestay family
- A sense of individual freedom and personal growth
- Develop a close second family relationship
- Complete immersion in English at both homestay and school
- The opportunity to participate in family activities and gatherings
- Constant involvement of the local coordinator (phone, email, face to face, and instant messenger)
- All of our schools offer a low international population (15% or less), providing for more individual attention
