We'll walk you through the most common myths about the school year abroad and why none of them should stop you from taking the leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 \u2013 When I come back, I might lose the school year and have to repeat it<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That myth is completely false: the school year is validated with the Ministry of Education once completed. As part of our school year service, we handle the entire process so that no grade or achievement from your year abroad is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2 \u2013 The only year to go abroad is Year 10 (4th year of ESO)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is a special year, you can also go abroad during the 1st and 2nd year of A-Levels (Bachillerato). Each year has its own qualities, making every one of them a unique experience. For example, Year 10 (4th year of ESO), being the Transition Year, is more focused on the overall experience without the pressure of exams, while the other years have a more academic focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3 \u2013 The visa process is too complicated<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At My Language Quest, we guide and support you through the entire visa process whenever the destination requires it. Some destinations like the US or Canada require extra paperwork as they are outside the EU, but we are there every step of the way to make it a smooth and simple process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4 \u2013 Once at the destination, the student is left without support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have local support staff at every destination who provide assistance and guidance to the student throughout their experience abroad. We also offer 24\/7 support for both families and students, to answer any questions and attend to any needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5 \u2013 I have plenty of time to make up my mind<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Time is never on your side: overestimating the time available to prepare for this kind of trip is one of the most common myths. Starting the process early adds valuable preparation time and gives you the advantage of booking ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal time to start is today. Don't let a myth rob your child of the opportunity to live an experience that will mark them for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about your next big step. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/asesoramientosmlq.zohobookings.eu\/#\/mylanguagequest\">Book your consultation call now to clear up any doubts and learn every detail from our experts.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Estudiar en el extranjero es una experiencia que puede cambiarle la vida a tu hijo, pero muchas familias se frenan por dudas que, en realidad, no tienen fundamento.
