Should I send my child to study abroad?
While parents and caregivers the world over recognize the value of pursuing education outside one’s home country, with the added uncertainty of an ongoing pandemic, navigating educational options for our children is more daunting than ever; however, with planning and the right support put in place before they arrive, families can ensure that their children are set up for a safe and successful overseas experience.
There are a multitude of options and a sea of international agencies from which to choose, all of which promise what any parent would hope for, including high-touch service, warm and welcoming host families, and top schools. As parents, we are also very aware that there are agencies that don’t fulfill their promises, which may mean that our child doesn’t get the care and support we expect. There is one international-education agency that is known for its integrity, accountability, and transparency, and that is trusted by families, students, and schools alike. It’s called Global School Access (GSA).
What makes GSA unique? Yes, we do promise end-to-end service and a high-level of care, but we follow through on that promise by vetting and hiring a dedicated staff of locally based professionals who specialize in international student care, and who genuinely want students to be happy, grow personally, and succeed academically. We understand the sacrifices families make to secure the best possible opportunities for their child. We also understand that your child is coming alone across the world and will need a home away from home. It’s a lot to take in and adjust to, and we know that. New school, new home, new culture, new language, new food, etc. It’s both exciting and overwhelming. We consider our students part of our extended family and treat them accordingly. Trust, care, and communication are essential throughout your child’s overseas stay.
No stone is left unturned at GSA, meaning we’ve got everything covered from application assistance to top private high schools, to processing school applications, preparation of visa documentation, host family or boarding school arrangements, banking, legal services, college counseling, specialized tutors, ACT/SAT/TOEFL courses, English language support, well-being support, help applying for summer courses at top universities, and local support for college students. We are dedicated professionals who live up to our commitments and we are honored to be trusted by the families and students who come to us.
If you still have questions or concerns about sending your child overseas for their education, please allow a GSA staff member to help you navigate and weigh options. We are here to help, and it would be a privilege for the opportunity to assist you!
