Tan, Student, Vietnam
“Our students want to go abroad for school, but they may be a bit too shy or may not understand how American or Australian universities work. This program gives them a very solid foundation and helps guide them to where they need to be. I really do feel that it’s going to make such a big difference in the lives of our students.”
Nella DeSanto, Program Coordinator, Unity Concord International School, Thailand
“Our school has been contracting with Hudson for seven years. Our students earn a U.S. diploma, and they experience the benefits and possibilities this diploma offers. Five generations have graduated so far and all of them are studying at prestigious universities around the world. The Hudson team offers the support services of a traditional school, promptly and expertly. Impressive.”
