Guardianship for High School Students
As a Mom of four children (age 11, 13, 16, 18), founder Wen-Hung is determined to provide the utmost care parents would expect for their children. Taking part in our guardianship services will provide practical supports to the students and a peace of mind for the parents. The students will be picked up/dropped off from/to the airport, we will participate in school activities like a parent would, do bi-weekly academic review of the student's school grades, as well as monthly or bi-monthly (for schools greater than 50 km from the Boston city center) in-person visits. Also, parents will be kept abreast of their child's activities in school through monthly updates. We will also help students to find alternative short-term accommodation when the school dormitory closes during major holiday breaks (separate fees required), and they would have someone to turn to in the case of an emergency. We are here to take care of all the expected and unexpected that parents do!
