White Plains company to launch educational Web site

January

A White Plains-based company is launching an Internet site called www.globaleducationexplorer.com to help relocating families compare educational systems across the globe.

The site developer, School Choice International, said that the resource enables parents to quickly compare curriculum, assessments and customs between countries by typing home and destination countries, and their child’s birthdates. Also covered are traditions like what to wear to school, how birthdays are celebrated and what to get the teacher for holidays.

The pilot for Global Education Explorer will be launched Wednesday with a free trial corporate subscription for its first three locations—Australia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. School Choice International added that a full selection of countries will be available by year’s end.
