School Choice International helps families select the best schools for their children wherever they relocate in the world.
Moving with children presents families with a whole set of challenges:
• moving mid year and waitlists
• special needs and learning style preferences
• navigating different curricula between countries and states
• finding a school along with the other relocation logistics
• moving to a location where schooling is competitive
• schooling allowances
"I
just wanted to take a moment to single out the consultant's support in
turning the 'crisis' into a true success story. We really couldn't
have done this without her and this is just another example of how you
and your team come through for us and our clients every single time."

School Choice makes change an educational opportunity.
We know that the school your child attends will affect where you decide to live, the community you find yourself in, the level of security and comfort your family feels in their new home country, and your child’s academic future.
We also know that between boarding schools, American International
Schools, local schools, national schools, private schools, state funded
schools that the list of school options can seem nearly endless and
selecting the right school is a truly daunting task.
School Choice helps you get it right.
School Choice works in depth
Broad-based international move management services will often include a
school search service of some sort, but this cursory look at school
options rarely leads to a well-informed choice. School Choice’s
committed and experienced consultants provide specialized service
that will thoroughly assess your family’s needs, including the minute
details of your child’s learning habits and your specific preferences
as parents. Only then do we make a list of potential matches between
school and child.
School Choice delivers peace of mind
School Choice delivers peace of mind, relieving families of the stress of school placement during a time already fraught with challenges and complex emotions.

This leads to a more successful relocation overall.
School Choice offers choice

"How it all started" 
"School Choice International was started as a result of my husband's
business transfer to London. We moved in the middle of the academic
year and although as an educator, I had the skills to choose
appropriate schools for my son and daughter, I did not have the
emotional fortitude at that time to search for the right school,
explore the British curriculum, compare it with the American and
international schools available, and make a well-informed decision.
School Choice International was established to help families choose the
right schools for their children, based on a full understanding of the
educational systems they are coming from and going to, along with the
personal values and circumstances of the family. From its beginnings as
a one woman show, School Choice has steadily grown to become a business
that employs over 90 consultants in 50 locations around the world,
helping hundreds of relocating families choose schools every year.
After repatriation even more difficult than her transition to London, my daughter said, "Now I know there is nothing I can't do." When done right, children can learn as much from relocation as from an entire school career.
At School Choice we help families make it right."
Our mission is to deliver peace of mind by selecting the best schools
for children relocating worldwide.
