We interviewed a family that worked with Excellence in Education in choosing a school abroad. Here’s what they have to say.
Many families feel overwhelmed by the number of school options available (program, country, school type). There is a lot of information out there, and not all of it is important, or correct. As an experienced education counselor I am aware of the best options, and more importantly, how to find reliable information, and how to verify it.
