School Choice International Launches Educational Web-Tool for Families Relocating Globally
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.-(Business Wire)-January 6, 2009 - Relocating, expatriating and repatriating families now have a cost-effective, web-based resource to understand and compare educational systems across the globe. Global Education Explorer™, developed by premiere global educational consulting firm School Choice International, enables corporations, relocation services and parents to quickly compare curriculum, assessments and customs between countries simply by inputting home and destination countries, and their child’s birthdates. Global Education Explorer™, encompasses all aspects of education – including academic content, curriculum mapping, and traditions like what to wear to school, how birthdays are celebrated, and what to get the teacher for holidays.
Expatriate parents worry about their children’s education and adjustments, both major stressors in international relocation or repatriation. Accurate country specific ‘what parents need to know’ information makes all the difference in a successful transition. Family adjustment concerns are primary reasons for declined or failed relocation assignments. Parents and global corporations will now have a quick, cost effective way to assess the schooling component of an overseas relocation opportunity.
“Global Education Explorer is an ideal tool. My clients can compare IB curricula or other educational options in the countries they are considering relocating to.” says Linda Kiarsis, Educational Consultant.
School Choice International works with expatriate families seeking local and international schools, public and independent, nursery through high school, and conducts research and policy analysis for corporations or governments seeking to make strategic decisions before embarking on international or domestic moves.
The pilot of Global Education Explorer will be launched on January 7, 2009 with a free trial corporate subscription for its first three locations: Australia, Switzerland, and the UK. A full selection of locations will be available by year’s end.
