International Connections Academy currently serves students in
more than 40 countries across the globe – with the number of expat
families it serves growing each semester. The school's 2016 Parent
Satisfaction Survey recently revealed that 80 percent of currently
enrolled families living abroad moved for business purposes, with
two-thirds planning on living in their new country for at least
four years.
With many factors to consider when moving abroad, finding a new
school can be an arduous process.
"Many expat families find International Connections Academy to
be a great school option for grades K-12 when they relocate
overseas, especially since students earn U.S. diplomas," said
Hannah Rinehart, principal of
International Connections Academy. "Our goal with this online
education resource for families is to provide information that can
help make the process of researching school options and
transitioning easier."
The new section of our site for expatriates includes:
- Helpful articles from the school's educators explaining the
best way to navigate online education for families living
overseas
- First-hand accounts from expat families
- Video footage of a teacher who brings unique perspectives to
teaching students internationally
In addition to revealing why families move abroad, this year's
Parent Satisfaction Survey offered insights into currently enrolled
parents' views on education and International Connections Academy,
including:
- Nearly 25 percent of International Connections Academy's
international parents envision their child/children attending a
prominent university and earning a graduate degree
- 95 percent of international parents are satisfied with the
curriculum their child/children receives at International
Connections Academy
"Virtual schools give parents and children the freedom to
control their learning," said Kathryn
Pitts, the mother of three 2016 graduates of International
Connections Academy currently residing in the United Arab Emirates.
Students enrolled in International Connections Academy learn
from home, or anywhere there is an internet connection, and work
with teachers who are licensed and specially trained in online
instruction. Experienced school counselors guide students through
the college application process, leading to acceptances at
exceptional U.S.-based colleges and universities such as
Brown University and Yale University, among many others.
