What we do

School placement

F-1 eligible schools selected based on academic level and fit. Accredited programs with defined standards and clear expectations.

Host family placement

Vetted host families in Florida, with background checks and local oversight. Stable housing in a private home, not random placement.

Visa and documents

Guidance through required F-1 documentation, including I-20, DS-160, and interview preparation. Families remain responsible for submissions and filings.

Arrival onboarding

Airport pickup, school registration coordination, host family introduction, and local orientation. Arrival is structured and supervised.

Ongoing supervision

Regular check-ins, academic monitoring, and host communication. Parents stay informed, students have a clear point of contact.

Problem solving

When issues arise, SIDO School takes responsibility for assessment and intervention. Problems are handled directly, not passed on.

Why SIDO School exists

SIDO School exists to take responsibility in situations where distance makes oversight difficult. We work with families who want structure, clear ownership, and continued involvement after placement, not a hands-off exchange.

How SIDO School operates

SIDO School is structured around ongoing involvement, not one-time placement.
We coordinate schools and host families, remain engaged after arrival, and take responsibility when situations require assessment or intervention.

What parents can expect

Parents can expect clear communication, defined responsibility, and involvement when decisions or action are required. Students have a known point of contact throughout their placement, and parents are informed when issues affect oversight, structure, or next steps.
