Schooling in a New Location

A successful school search is not simply about "getting in" to a school in a new location.  Recognising that all children moving to another country are vulnerable and must be handled with care suggests that the school search involves some logistics but, more important, involves safeguards to ensure that the child's most basic requirements, whether in the areas of learning, physical, emotional, or curricular support, are met when a school is selected for the duration of an overseas move.  External assistance that encompasses these steps makes a difficult move for any child into a positive educational experience.
