Networking Event for Student Recruitment
The International Schools Forum South America serves as the perfect platform for universities and colleges seeking to establish or enhance their student recruitment network in this thriving market. This exclusive event offers a distinct opportunity for institutions to engage with influential leaders from the continent’s premier secondary schools. These leaders play a pivotal role in guiding students and parents toward making informed decisions about their prospective undergraduate studies.
Why take part in the International Schools Forum in South America?
Students are going abroad at an ever younger age. They do so in order to study a language, gain international and cultural experience and to study a particular subject (read this interesting Nafsa article). In most South American countries these preparations for future studies often start at high school. In fact, it has become part of the curriculum. Students and their parents often turn to high school counselors for help in the search for the university or college that best fits their needs.
This makes these counselors an invaluable asset for international institutions who are keen to understand market demand and tap into an influential audience early in the student journey.
Largest gathering of high school counsellors and leaders from the best international schools in South America
At the International Schools Forum you will be given an exclusive opportunity to hold 26 private pre-scheduled meetings with counsellors and principals from renowned international and private high schools in the entire region.
Network with all participating counsellors during the cocktail reception, gala dinner, plus lunches and coffee breaks each day.
Reinforce your brand and your unique educational offering with a focused opportunity to widen your network with influential principals and school counsellors who actively prepare and advise their students on the next stages of their academic career.
This exclusive event gives you access to decision makers and advisors at the top international and private high schools whose high achieving students possess strong English language skills and a vibrant energy that lights up any classroom.
