Finding this school on your own is doable. But choosing the right one of four accredited options, lining up a vetted host family, navigating the visa, and having someone on the ground in Florida who can be there within an hour — that's what SIDO offers. We know every principal of every partner school personally. If your child has a problem, we're not at a desk in Germany — we're in Vero Beach. In person or on the phone, whichever helps.
Young athletes with college-sport ambitions who need academic rigor and daily college-level training under one roof.
We help you choose the right school — free, personal, no pressure. Thirty minutes on the phone is usually enough to know whether this school is the right fit or another one would serve your child better.
