The ASSIST Schools Difference

ASSIST doesn't work with every school, and that's intentional.

Our school partners are carefully selected to ensure the best possible experience for both the scholar and the school community.

How We Choose Our Schools

We look for mission-aligned institutions that:

  • Challenge scholars academically
  • Foster global citizenship
  • Offer inclusive and vibrant communities
  • Support extracurricular and leadership development

The Right Match Matters

We get to know our scholars and our schools so that every placement is intentional. Our team considers academic strengths, interests, language proficiency, and school culture to create ideal pairings.

Georgia
Perkiomen School

“My words cannot describe the adventure and experience I had in the USA because of ASSIST. In Georgia, a lot of people I’ve met and had conversations with mentioned that I came back as an even more grown-up, independent, and confident individual, which is a sign of progress and self-development.”
