How long should our child stay? It is the question we hear most. The answer differs by family, but the criteria are clear.
When Short-Term Is the Right Fit
- When You Want to See How Your Child Responds to a First Experience Abroad
- When You Want to Use School Breaks with No Academic Gap
- When You Want to Try the City and School Before Committing Long-Term
The biggest advantage of short-term study is starting without pressure. Many parents tell us four months transformed their child's confidence in English.
When Long-Term Is the Right Fit
- When Planning an Academic Path in the North American System
- When You Want English to Become an Everyday Language
- When Considering Family Relocation or a Long-Term Stay
For long-term study, school choice and the guardian's stay plan matter far more. Treat the first term as an adjustment period.
