MODEL ONE UN

1 / 4

Some things you only learn by going.

For families weighing a move, schools planning a journey and students aiming high.

Advance

We help you make the decision. Not just the application.

Admissions offices explain their own programmes. We help you compare the options, judge the fit and plan every step, whether that's a university in Switzerland or beyond, a high school or a camp. Admission is always decided by each institution.

  1. Assessment

    We get to know the student: grades, languages, interests and limits.

  2. Shortlist

    A short list of places that genuinely fit, with honest reasons.

  3. Experience or visit

    Open days, campus visits or a camp, before anyone commits.

  4. Apply

    Applications planned, written and submitted on time.

  5. Prepare

    Paperwork, housing and settling in, so arriving feels easy.

Book an educational guidance call

A short call with no obligation. If a paid assessment would help, we'll tell you and quote it first.

Explore / ELSW Journeys

Every journey ends with something your students made.

Each journey is built around one idea and one real place. Students meet the people who live there, get into places visitors never see, and come home with a magazine, a film or a project they're proud to show.

Request a school-group proposal

Tell us your dates and group size. You'll receive a full proposal, with everything included, before you commit.

Participate

Take the floor.

International forums where students debate, negotiate and present ideas alongside students from other schools. Run by students, overseen by experienced educators.

Live / The Family Trial

Try the life before you make the move.

Moving your family abroad is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. Don't make it from a distance. For two or four weeks, you live in Albania as if you had already moved. Your children go to an international school, subject to the school's approval. You live in a prepared family home in a real neighbourhood, and you meet independent legal, immigration, tax and property advisers. Then you decide.

  • Two or four weeks.
  • Only a few families each season.
  • One person looks after your family throughout.

A four-week trial, week by week

  1. 01

    Before you arrive

    We check the trial is right for your family, arrange the school place and get your home ready.

  2. 02

    Week one

    You arrive, settle in, meet the school and learn your way around the neighbourhood.

  3. 03

    Weeks two and three

    Your children are at school. You meet advisers, visit neighbourhoods and homes, and spend the weekends exploring.

  4. 04

    Final week

    The school tells you how your children got on. You talk it through as a family and leave with a written summary to help you decide.

Apply for a family trial

You pay nothing until the school confirms your children's places.

We plan for what could go wrong first.

When you trust us with your family or your students, you deserve to know exactly who is responsible. Every programme has one named person in charge, from the first call to the last day. We work only with vetted local partners and qualified leaders, write a risk plan for every journey and share it with families and schools before anyone travels.

About us

  • One named contact.
  • A written risk plan for every journey.
  • Vetted partners only.

Not sure where to start?

Tell us what you're planning. In one short call, we'll tell you whether we can help and what the next step would be.
