Moving to Europe with kids
The real question isn’t “is there an American school.” It’s will they stay on a US-college track — and what will it truly cost.
In Lisbon, Madrid or Paris, the right answer may be an American, IB or other international school. We hand-build your family’s shortlist: the right-fit schools, the true all-in cost, and how admissions work — researched, transparent and specific to your kids and city.
What you get — a shortlist, not a directory
An illustrative example of the deliverable’s format. The live shortlist is researched for your family, and every cost is labelled by how we know it.

The three questions that actually gate your move
US-college track
Which schools preserve a credible route to US universities — with IB, American and British pathways explained by age and entry point.
The all-in number
Not just tuition — registration, capital levies, deposits, transport, meals and exam fees, each shown with its source status.
How to get in
Entry points, assessments, application timing and the questions to ask — including a clear note wherever the answer cannot be known in advance.
Cities we cover first
The corridors where relocating families are asking us for help. More are added as demand shows.
Marketing gets you a brochure. We get you the evidence.
Every delivered fee is labelled by how we know it. Every checkable claim includes a source. We tell you where a school may be a poor fit, where uncertainty remains, and what only the school can confirm — because a decision this big deserves honesty, not gloss.
Delivered with sources
Published tuition links to the school’s own page.
Estimated add-ons are flagged and shown separately, never blended in.
