For more than 30 years our students have attended some of the best private schools in the United States and shared their experiences and opinions with us.
Based on your comments and our own experience, we have compiled this ranking taking into account the following factors:
- Tuition price
- Academic excellence
- Facilities
- Faculty
- Supervision / treatment of the student during their stay
SOME FACTORS IN COMMON FOR ALL OUR SCHOOLS
Location
All the schools on our list are located in interesting places in the United States where our students can enjoy a true immersion experience in American culture. Some of them offer a pleasant climate and temperatures throughout the year, such as Florida and California. Other schools, on the other hand, are located in areas with very marked seasons throughout the year offering a multitude of possibilities depending on the stage of the school year in which they are.
School academic level
Our schools have an academic level that ranges from excellence to more flexible evaluation models, therefore, we will be happy to recommend the best one that best suits the student’s profile based on their abilities and preferences. Colleges like Northwest Academy have an excellent regional reputation for academic excellence while other centers like Rockford Christian ensure good academic performance with more flexible evaluation criteria.
Percentage of international / Spanish speaking students
We have selected schools with the majority of the students of local origin. They are not purely international schools where the immersion would not be complete, but rather they are centers created to give a quality education to local students that offer a limited number of places to international students.
Local Coordinators
The local coordinators who supervise the good academic and personal performance of our students in each of these schools have shown year after year their involvement and dedication, advising and supporting them in everything necessary during their stay.
Subjects and extracurricular activities offered at the school
All schools offer very interesting extra curricular subjects and activities that go beyond the classical educational curriculum. Depending on the center, they can choose a multitude of options related to science, arts, robotics, computing, nature, etc.
sports
One of the strengths of education in the United States is the importance of physical activity and sports and that it is perfectly reflected in the school stage. All schools offer a wide variety of sports and make it easy for international students to access them. It’s a great way to expand your circle of friends and try new experiences while in the USA.
Accommodation quality
In all the centers, the host families in charge of hosting international students have received very positive feedback and this is one of their strengths. They are families related to the school environment that charge a small monthly stipend to treat the student as one of the family, integrating it into their family routine and caring for their well-being.
