Fees and Advisory Services

TU HIJO AL EXTRANJERO focuses on personalized advice and permanent support throughout the student’s stay at destination.

Our programmes are practically “tailor-made”.

There is a wide variety of programmes available to study abroad. However, a mistake choosing the right school or host family can cause that the economic and personal effort of both student and his family is useless.

The admission process in a foreign school is a long and meticulous and should be left in the hands of professionals so that no unforeseen events arise. TU HIJO AL EXTRANJERO takes care of everything: we translate and send all the necessary documentation for the admission, we coordinate interviews and / or entrance tests; and we maintain a continuous contact with the admission staff of each school.

– General orientation: Introduction to the educational system of the host country, structure of the most common programmes and information on the admission process in the selected school.

TU HIJO AL EXTRANJERO offers you the search of the best guardians that can facilitate your child’s adaption in a new school and country and take care of him both during the leave weekends and half term and bank holidays and in the event that a problem arises that prevents the child from staying at the boarding school. These people can also take care of the transfers within the country. The cost of this service will be paid directly to the guardian or to the company that offers this guardianship service.

For those countries outside the European Union where a student visa application is required, TU HIJO AL EXTRANJERO collaborates with the specialized immigration law firms in each country and with the foreign embassies in Spain to make this procedure as easy as possible for the families.
