Maya Frost’s Summary
In 2005, my husband and I decided to sell everything and leave our suburban American lifestyle behind in order to have an adventure abroad. The tricky part? We had four teenage daughters at the time! While shepherding our daughters through high school, into college and beyond, we stumbled upon some stunningly advantageous strategies for student success and happiness.
Knowing how stressful and expensive the traditional college-prep process is, I decided to write a book to let other parents and students know about the great options that ANY US student can use to get an angst-free and outrageously relevant global education that doesn't cost a fortune.
My book, The New Global Student: Skip the SAT, Save Thousands On Tuition, and Get A Truly International Education, was published in May by Crown/Three Rivers (a division of Random House). For more on the book--including free resources for parents and students--visit http://www.NewGlobalStudent.com
