Studying Abroad

Overseas Education For Your Children

Finding the right school for your children will no doubt be an utmost priority if you are moving your family abroad. Depending on where you move to, you will have a few options to ensure your children's education does not suffer and they adjust well to the relocation. Application for admission to schools can be lengthy, so you should start this early.

International School
If your children attend an international school here in Malaysia, you may want to find a similar school in the area to which you are moving to, so as not to interrupt their education. To find out if there is a suitable school where you will be relocating to, you can search the directory of international schools on the Internet.

Local School
If you are going to stay long term in the country you are moving to, you may want to consider enrolling your children in a local school. Contact the embassy of the country you are moving to for a list of schools and the application procedures.

Preparing to move to a new place to study requires considerable preparation. To help you make the most of your new situation, HSBC can provide you with the assistance to help you settle in more comfortably.
