No child is born to conform to a norm.
Yet, school systems need their norms and standards to function well. We understand that. |
So for the compulsory parts of learning, norms are perfectly okay. However, our job is to cater for the freestyle elements! |
not-the-norm!
Whenever your kids' best interests lie beyond established norms and standards look to your
Global Native partner families. Matching the right Haves and Wants holds a million solutions.
Partnerships can take into consideration which places can improve a kid's health or still its longing for nature. They allow for opposites to attract and for kindred spirits to connect; to switch the city for the countryside and the mountains for the sea. A great match invites a kid to dive into a familiar subject with a vengeance and to opt for something completely new and different with the same vigour. We embrace serendipity!

We can take a household's cats and dogs into account, consider allergies and special food preferences. Families are able to look for specific challenges (your kid is a genius in maths, so why not match with another mum or dad who teaches just that?) and they can cater for many handicaps that have kept families from even thinking about exchange options until now (like Eddie, see his story here!).
For eleven years our children have discovered their favourite sport or the perfect music instrument through their partner families, now they're able to include their special wishes as search factors in their Haves-and-Wants profiles. |

Family partnerships have brought twelve-year-old Ken from the beaches of Greenland to the beaches of Greece; fourteen-year-old Milla from Finland with her exceptional talent for Latin and Old Greek under the mentorship of a Cambridge professor; Ben from Stewart Island, NZ, to an Academy of Music for the Blind in L.A.; eleven-year-old Emiko from Matsuyama into an equally talented family of avid chess players in Sydney and nineteen-year-old Johan from the Danish countryside to learn the craft of crystal cutting in the Tyrolean Alps.
