<p>Mike,</p>
<p>What we - as parents - are asking is whether the school is accredited, and whether those credits hold weight when the student returns home. I’ve sent one child on a program to Japan. I have another in Europe. I’m not adverse to the concept of students studying abroad and traveling extensively. I also know every school in the world started with a “year” one and probably some doubts from outsiders. But we’re all suspicious when posts touting the benefits of Think Global come from individuals who post once to encourage students to apply then the individual disappears. The photos look wonderful and the website has evolved, but these days of social media also means a lot can be faked as well. You’re asking parents to send children to a school that moves throughout the year (again an intriguing concept) with little to go on in terms of vetting the people who will be caring for, and teaching, their children. </p>
<p>Some specifics would go a long way to raising the school’s credibility.</p>
