Sending your child to study in the U.S. is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. We help international families find a school that fits how their student actually learns — and we stay involved long after they start.
A lot of agencies will find your child a school. What most of them won't do is make sure it's the right one — or stick around to help when it matters.
Learning style, goals, personality, and family priorities — that's what drives our recommendations.
Check-ins after enrollment, advocacy when needed, and a real person to call when something comes up.
Christina ran programs at ISE and CETUSA before founding ICES. This is what we've always done.
We don't offer one-size-fits-all. Tell us about your student and we'll figure out which pathway makes sense.
Your student attends a day school in New York City and lives with a vetted homestay family. We match the school to their profile and handle everything from onboarding to parent updates.
Same quality academics, quieter setting. We match based on community fit — not just rankings — and factor in commute, lifestyle, and what your family actually wants.
Your student lives on campus full-time. We identify the right school based on who they are — not just where they can get in — and support them through admissions and the transition.
Not every student fits a traditional school schedule. We map out flexible programs that keep them on track academically and leave options open for later.
A few weeks to a summer. Designed around what your student wants to get out of it — language, leadership, academics, or just the experience of living in the U.S.
We'll ask the right questions, talk through your options, and tell you what we'd actually recommend. No pressure, no pitch.
You tell us about your student and what matters to your family. 20 minutes, free, no commitment. You leave with clarity on which pathway fits.
Specific schools and programs tailored to your student. Not a generic list — each one comes with a clear reason why it's a match.
Applications, visa paperwork, homestay coordination, school onboarding. After enrollment, we keep checking in. If anything comes up, you have someone to call.
I've spent 15+ years in international education — and every single year, I've watched brilliant kids get placed in schools that didn't understand them. Smart families trusting the wrong people. Students falling through the cracks because nobody stayed involved long enough to notice.
I started Global Link Advisors because I believe every student who crosses an ocean to learn deserves someone in their corner who actually knows their name, their goals, and what keeps them up at night. Not a file number. Not a tuition check. A person.
I work with preferred partners like ICES, SEEDS, and ExLink to fulfill homestay, compliance, and operational needs — so I can focus on what matters most: making sure your kid ends up in the right place and thrives there.
I also have a background in special education and IEP advocacy — because the students who learn differently are often the ones who need an advocate most.
Tell us about your student. We'll tell you honestly what we'd recommend — and if we're the right fit. No cost, no obligation.
