Service Standards

We pride ourselves on having the best customer service for you and your students. Our customer service representatives are licensed insurance agents that go through an intensive training to ensure we can assist our clients and understand their needs. Many of them have been international students themselves and know the challenges they face.

Why do you think that international education is important?

“It is important for those who seek growth in life. Any experience that is uncomfortable or not as what you are used to, will lead to growth. Putting yourself in a new country, different culture, another language, or even a different climate, almost guarantees exiting your comfort zone.” - Ramez, Germany

“International education presents you with a different worldview than the one you grew up knowing. You don't just learn other cultures and languages, but you leave with a more open mind! I think people that partake in international education are more tolerant, people who learn to think more critically” - Natalie, US

“Having the opportunity to study or travel abroad will allow you to understand better how different people think in different cultures/countries with different aspects of stuff. There is a resonance once you settle and immerse yourself in the culture/country” - Morrison, China

“I think international education is important because it not only allows you to be immersed in a different culture, but also pushes you to be a part of a different schooling system, which can be a challenge but can also round you out as a student and individual. It can test your abilities to be adaptable and resilient in the face of new people and challenges.” - Melissa, Mexico

Together since the very beginning, Tino and Beni are two chihuahua-poodle brothers that have claimed every park in Jacksonville. Beni tends to be the most outgoing of the two and loves any excuse for attention, while Tino typically sits back and observes until he decides he’s ready to be social. Tino will interpret you sitting down as being ready to play fetch and will bring you his favorite toy (currently a small bunny) to toss at least fifty times. Tino and Beni have brought endless amounts of energy into my home and spread a bit of light everywhere they go!
