$2,500one-time
Add arrival support to my briefService details, coverage area, and cancellation and refund terms are agreed before signing. Rent, deposits, transportation, and other third-party costs are separate; additional expenses require advance agreement.
STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
Stay connected as you become more independent.
We first agree with the adult student what updates to share, with whom, and how to stay in touch. You can change that permission as your needs change.
For example: arranging an appointment
If you need to see a doctor, we can help contact a clinic, arrange an appointment, and plan the trip and paperwork. Medical professionals handle diagnosis and treatment.
Service scope and specialist help
We help with daily life, appointments, and follow-up. We do not provide legal, immigration, medical, or insurance advice, real estate brokerage, transportation, or legal guardianship. We can help contact suitable providers for housing, transport, tutoring, and vehicle needs; licensed activities are handled by appropriately licensed professionals.
Support in important situations follows the agreed service plan. In immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
STUDENT TRANSITION PARTNERSHIP
Extend student support beyond departure.
For Chinese private international schools and education partners: parent information sessions, pre-departure guidance and a Los Angeles support option that extends the school-family relationship.
Families choose to consult, contract with and pay Pacific Bridge LA directly. Schools do not collect monthly service payments. Institutional responsibilities and arrangements are set out in a written agreement.
