Through one-on-one meetings, we help you define the most important areas for you to feel settled into your new life. We then offer a personalized package to meet your specific needs.

Comprehensive School Reports
If you are moving to the Bay Area with children, schools will be one of the first items on your list to cover. We will discuss your criteria for educating your child/children and then provide you with a list of schools that we feel best match your requirements. We will also arrange interviews and supply you with a package containing pertinent information to make the most of your school visit. We are available to accompany you to the school if you desire.

Local Area Knowledge
We understand that one of the most important ways to feel settled is having your home life in order. We orient you to your new surroundings, ranging from locating the closest medical facility to purchasing household items or finding the best place to order a cake. We also provide you with an extensive handbook full of useful information about how to set up your support system for the household, including recommended service providers, as well as for your day-to-day administrative needs (e.g., how to obtain a driver’s license, create a bank account, navigate the complex social security system, to name but a few).

Social/Cultural Intergration
Understanding the culture and getting to know people is key to having a sense of belonging in your new community. We help you meet like-minded people and explore the Bay Area through introducing you to the appropriate local social networks available as well as guiding you through basic interpretations of local custums and behaviors to ensure your initial questions about social expectations are answered.

Telephone/Email Support
Questions frequently arise after your move. Pick up the phone or email us with queries large and small. We are here to help.
