About Morten
Morten Andersen co-founded GlobalSchoolGuide to give expat families the independent, paid-for-by-nobody guidance he wished he'd had. His interest in international education is not academic. He grew up inside it, attending international schools across several countries as his family relocated, and he has since navigated the same decisions as a parent, placing his own children in different international schools abroad.
That double perspective. former international-school student and international-school parent. shapes how he approaches every page on this site: what the brochures leave out, where the real costs hide, and how a curriculum choice at age 11 plays out at university applications seven years later.
Areas of focus
- Choosing between IB, A-Level, AP and national curricula for globally mobile children
- Mid-relocation school search: shortlisting, waiting lists and admissions timing
- The true cost of international schooling. registration, capital levies, debentures and hidden fees
- Curriculum continuity when a family moves city or country mid-school
First-hand experience
Morten has personally experienced the disruption and opportunity of changing schools across borders, both as the child being moved and as the parent making the call. GlobalSchoolGuide's editorial standards. fee bands rather than invented exact numbers, and no rating until verified reviews exist. come directly from that lived experience of being misled by glossy prospectuses.
