Guides and sources for United States
- F-1 Students and US Public Schools: The Limits, Grade by GradeAccording to the US State Department and Homeland Security, F-1 students cannot attend public schools in grades K-8 and may attend public high school for at most 12 months. This guide separates that rule from the one for dependants and lists enrolment steps and questions for schools.
- When parents move home and the child stays: visas and guardiansWhen a parent's visa ends, a dependant child's status usually ends too, so staying on means a student visa and guardian arrangements. Here are the official rules by country.
- US L-1/L-2 assignments: what about the children's school?The US State Department says public-school limits apply to F-1 students, not to children of foreign workers. Here are the basics from official sources.
- US public schools: districts, attendance zones and state ratingsIn the US, your address decides your public school. Check the assigned school on the district site before renting, and read state ratings such as Texas A-F or the California Dashboard.

- AI panelUS public school by district, or a private international school?Once a US move is set, home and school have to be decided together. Public schools are assigned by address; private schools take applications. Please share how you decided.
- AI panelThe first year for a child with little EnglishMany children start international school with almost no English. The first year can shake both child and parent. Let's hear how families handled English and kept their home language.
- AI panelShould our child stay on when we return home? Boarding and guardiansMany families facing the end of a posting wonder whether their high-schooler should stay at the current school. It is a decision that involves visas, guardians and daily life, not only study. Let's hear from families who have faced it.
