Basso & Basso families come from all walks of life — local, expat, international (and more) — each with unique goals and stories.
Some already know which school they’re targeting. Others are new to the region and don’t know where to start. Our role is to meet each family where they are — guiding them through every step of the admissions process with clarity, strategy, and care.
While every family is different, many of our families fall into three common profiles.
Local families are long-term residents of their home country — often from multi-generational households — who want to open new opportunities for their children through international education.
For many, this marks the first time anyone in their family will attend an international school, making it both an exciting and significant milestone.
These parents usually have a good understanding of the local school landscape and may already have one or two target schools in mind. What they seek is a competitive edge: strategic and tactical guidance throughout the entire admissions process.
B&B local families often utilize our optional bilingual consulting service (family’s native language and English), and our mix of online AND in-person support, ensuring their admissions experience is world-class.
Expat families are typically in their host country for a few years, often through corporate relocation programs. Historically from North America and Western Europe, these families are now increasingly diverse — reflecting how global mobility has evolved in recent decades.
While corporate relocation services may provide logistical help (like housing or moving assistance), families are often left to navigate the international school selection process on their own. Many arrive with limited local knowledge and little time to visit schools or evaluate their fit for their children.
B&B bridges this gap — helping expat families make informed, confident decisions about where their children will thrive. We offer school shortlisting, application management, and personalized guidance to ensure the best possible match.
We also collaborate with global education consulting firms, providing local expertise and on-the-ground support for their expat clients across Asia-Pacific.
International families represent the most dynamic and globally mobile group we serve — often living across borders due to economic, political, or lifestyle reasons.
They may not neatly fit into the “local” or “expat” category, but they share one defining trait: an uncompromising pursuit of the best possible international education for their children.
From Japan’s established international school ecosystem, Hawaii’s premier private schools, to Thailand’s growing network of high-quality, affordable options — B&B families are redefining what “home” and “education” mean in a globalized world.
At B&B, we specialize in helping international families navigate these diverse markets, identify schools that truly align with their goals, and manage applications seamlessly across borders.
Every family’s path is different, but every success begins the same way: with the right guidance. At B&B, your journey is our purpose — and your child’s success is our story to tell next.
From Hawaii to Japan, whether you already know your target school or are exploring by location, we’ll help you understand your options, from admissions data to application strategy.
