Ivy Labs Education provide Guardianship Service for Day School Students

The experience of living with a local host family allows for a full language and cultural immersion that is irreplaceable. It also enables students to enroll at a day school and enjoy all of the academic benefits, while still being able to return to a home living environment. As part of our program, the staff of Ivy Labs will:

 

  • Monitor a student’s academics: We meet with every student’s teachers four times per semester to discuss their progress and address any issues. All official progress reports are summarized and translated for the parents.
  • Access to a private ESL instructor: All international students in need of support are matched with one of our qualified ESL tutors in order to develop their language abilities and help them to navigate their new academic settings.
  • Attend to student’s medical needs: We match all of our home-stay students with a primary doctor, or a health specialist if necessary. We inform families about insurance options and communicate with insurance companies for medical claims following treatment.
  • Support extracurricular involvement: As part of our college consultation, students are directed towards activities which best suit their strengths and interests. This plays a crucial role in building a student’s profile during the college admissions process.
  • Transportation: We arrange door-to-door pick-up and drop-off services between school, the home-stay sites, local airports, and other locations as needed.
  • Financial guidance:  There are many unforeseen challenges that come with living in a new place, especially for a student who is just growing into his or her independence. We advise students in setting up bank accounts, choosing phone plans, mailing international items, and managing their money at the direction of the parents.
  • Provide a network of support: We provide stable, welcoming environments within which students will find their “homes away from home.” It is more than just cooked meals and a bed. We arrange celebrations for important events and remain in constant contact with the students’ parents. Our sole aim is to give students the most comfortable, rewarding home-stay experience possible.

 

We would love to have your student become a part of your network, and look forward to getting to know them. Still not sure about the Guardianship program? Feel free to check the link below and learn more about what we have to offer.
