Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about international education pathways and transitions between educational systems.
How do I choose the right international curriculum?
Consider your child's learning style, future educational goals, and potential destination countries. International curricula like IB, Cambridge, and American curricula have different strengths and are recognized differently worldwide. Our education counselors can help you evaluate which curriculum aligns best with your long-term plans.
When is the best time to transition between educational systems?
Natural transition points occur at the beginning of each educational stage: early years (age 3-5), primary (age 5-12), secondary (age 13-18), and tertiary (age 18+). However, individual circumstances vary, and transitions can be successful at other times with proper planning and support.
How do I ensure credits and qualifications transfer between countries?
Research credential recognition agreements between your current and destination countries. Some qualifications like the IB Diploma and Cambridge A-Levels have strong global recognition. For university transfers, contact the admissions office of your target institution to understand their credit transfer policies.
What language support is available for international students?
Many international schools offer English as an Additional Language (EAL) programs, bilingual education options, and mother tongue support. Universities often provide intensive language courses before academic programs begin. The level of support varies by institution, so this should be a key factor in your school selection process.
How can I prepare my child for cultural transitions?
Cultural preparation should begin months before relocation. Explore the new country's customs, foods, and social norms together. Connect with families from your destination country or those who have made similar moves. Many schools offer buddy systems and orientation programs to ease the transition.
