IES Abroad knows that the experience of having your son or daughter study abroad is exciting, challenging, and often involves planning on the part of the entire family.

We are pleased to offer this free on-line orientation for parents, guardians, and family members of students studying abroad with IES Abroad this coming summer, fall, or academic year.

The presentation is broken out into five sections below: Introduction, Preparing to Go, Health & Safety, What to Expect Abroad, and Funding & Payment.

The presentation is meant to supplement the information provided for you in the IES Abroad Family Guide which is sent to you after your student is accepted to the program.  If you haven’t yet received your Family Guide, it will be mailed to you soon. We also encourage you to check out the parent resources on our website.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact your student’s IES Abroad program-specific Advisor by calling 800.995.2300.
