SHELL EDUCATION
from AEGIS Standard Summer 2024
by AEGIS
Shell Education agency, like any other AEGIS accredited company, is equipped with the tools to provide outstanding, high standards of care for international students, and goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful educational journey for them. A guardianship agency swiftly deals with any situation to ensure every aspect of child’s life from academic assistance to emotional well-being, and host family plays a crucial part in providing all rounded support.
Studying abroad is an exciting and life changing experience for many international students. It offers an opportunity to explore new cultures, gain valuable knowledge, and develop personal growth. A caring, safe, and supportive atmosphere provided by the host family plays a significant role in the overall well-being and academic success of international students.
Moving to a foreign country can be daunting and overwhelming, especially for young students who are far away from home. A host family that genuinely cares about their well-being can offer a comforting and relaxing environment. They provide emotional support to help students adjust to their new surroundings, cope with homesickness, and navigate cultural differences. Additionally, a host family will report any concerns they have for the student, changes in student’s behaviour or health, which would help to have a full understanding of child’s overall well-being.
Last year, a student stayed with the host family who informed me about their concerns for the student, which was very alarming. They noticed the student was unhappy and struggling, although we knew if was not homesickness since he had been studying in the same school for 4 years. It turned out to be a health issue, and he needed urgent help. Gathering information from everyone around a student is crucial, as this helps to build a bigger picture of the child’s wellbeing, and the role of a caring, safe, and supportive host family in the life of an international student cannot be overstated. They provide a sense of belonging, emotional support, and guidance that greatly enhance the overall experience of studying abroad.
A host family that genuinely cares about the well-being and success of the student can make a significant difference in their happiness, academic achievements, and overall growth.
