Transfer of Credits
All SAGE schools are fully accredited in the United States. As a result, high school credits are easily transferred both from your high school to SAGE schools and back again.
Travel Arrangements
Parents are ultimately responsible for their child's travel arrangements. However, the SAGE office helps facilitate travel planning if you let us know in advance - making sure that as many SAGE students as possible travel together on the same flight.
Your child should plan to fly to the following cities corresponding with the respective schools:
Woodstock School– New Delhi, India
Kodaikanal International School – Chennai, India
PTIS International School – Chang Mai, Thailand
American School of Yaounde – Yaounde, Cameroon
Country Day School Guanacaste – Liberia, Costa Rica
Students are individually met at these airports by a school representative, and accompanied by an adult all the way to the school.
All SAGE students will need a valid passport (your responsibility) and a valid student visa (which we will assist you in obtaining once your child has been accepted to the program).
Health Insurance
The SAGE Program requires that all students are covered by a medical insurance policy. Study Abroad Health insurance is widely available at low cost through many commercial providers. SAGE uses HTH Worldwide Insurance, though offers no endorsement of their services and it can be purchased through our office.
School Calendars
Please refer to the respective school’s website for specific school calendar dates.
