FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SCHOOL SEARCH SERVICES

When should the school search process begin?

In some countries we can get started with the school search prior to the move, helping get everything in place ready for your arrival. In other countries the children need to be in the country before an application can be submitted. We will advise on this during your initial needs assessment to make sure everything works as efficiently as possible.
