Partner With APEX
Roles and Expectations – U.S. Schools & APEX
The relationship between U.S. middle and high schools and APEX is integral to the ultimate success of an international program.
Success can be defined as:
- Fulfillment of Annual Recruitment Goals
- Quality of International Applicants
- Proper Care and Management of International Students and Host Families
Communication and honesty are essential. Both parties must be willing to communicate regularly as true partners and be honest in their international program’s recruitment goals and overall objectives.
APEX assumes the role of the U.S. School’s international recruitment office abroad and represents the U.S. School accurately and professionally. The U.S. School should expect the utmost integrity in everything that APEX does in China and the U.S.
