What Makes IBG Special

What makes IBG special? Our 15 years of experience in the educational consulting field provides us with exceptional expertise and knowledge in what works in attaining international students’ goals.

IBG invests an extensive amount of time and effort planning for a student’s placement into a homestay environment, American day school, and participation in enrichment programs. As each student adapts to his studies in a foreign country, IBG representatives are there to help him when they face cultural, educational, and emotional adjustments. IBG offers a well-rounded experience for each student by providing access to exceptional day schools and homestay families who embrace our students as their own. IBG representatives stay in constant communication with each student and provide resources for immediate answers to any questions or challenges that may arise. The following are benefits:

• A safe family environment abroad
• Opportunity to share cultures between host family and student
• Individual freedom and personal development within safe boundaries
• Development of an intimate second-ˇfamily relationship with the host family
• Complete immersion in English at both school and home Opportunity to participate in family activities and gatherings
• Constant involvement of the local IBG coordinator (via phone, email, face to face, and online chat)
• Peer interaction at IBG sponsored events
• Low international-ˇstudent populations (15% or less) at all IBG selected schools
• Exposure to American universities and networking opportunities through IBG sponsored college tours that separate IBG from other day school/homestay programs
