01
When to move to an international school
Move this year, or wait another term? The deadline is close, and so are settling in, siblings’ schedules, and what’s already in place at the current school.

Who it’s for
If you’re standing at a fork like these.
This is for the moment when the options overlap, not when the facts are missing. These are the kinds of questions we usually receive.
02
Curriculum: IB, AP, or A-level
When the programme matters more than the school’s name — and you need the student’s habits, the university destinations, and the cost of joining mid-stream on one page.
03
An overseas high school, or staying in Korea
When boarding abroad and staying on a domestic path both remain open, and family capacity, language, and the route home all have to be weighed together.
How it works
Send the form, and a page comes back within three business days.
This is not an automated report. We read what you send, and HAEA writes the Brief.
01
You describe the situation
Grade, school type, the decision that actually needs to be made, and any constraints you’re willing to share — timing, capacity, family circumstances.
02
We read it and write the Brief
We restate the question in one line, then build a single page in the DETECT → EXPLAIN → SUGGEST → REMIND sequence. Personal details do not appear in the body of the Brief.
03
You receive the Brief
A one-page Decision Brief arrives within three business days. For an in-depth diagnosis, we schedule a 30-minute follow-up call after you receive it.
Sample Brief
The page you receive looks like this.
This is a fictional example, for format only. It is not a real family’s information, and it does not recommend a particular school.

Format preview
Grade 8: should we apply this year for a move next year?
One decision question · an example of the Basic Diagnosis format.
DETECT
The choice is whether to apply this year, or wait until next year.
The fork is not “is an international school the right fit?” It is when to move, before the application window closes. Between staying at the current middle school and joining next August, the deadline and the settling-in period overlap.
EXPLAIN
Waiting keeps some things in place. Moving this year creates a different kind of strain.
Another year leaves time to finish the current school’s foundation and Korean-language coursework. English-medium classes and the next stage of the programme wait that much longer. Joining this year buys settling-in time, but a mid-year move can collide with siblings’ calendars.
SUGGEST
Start by asking whether an offer would require an immediate move.
You can keep this year’s application open, and first ask whether the school allows a deferred start after an offer. If deferral is unlikely, you might spend this year on information sessions and class visits, with a later start in mind. In either case, it helps to separate “do we apply now?” from “must we move this year?”
REMIND
Information-session dates, when documents are due, and questions for a family conversation.
Three things to confirm before the deadline: whether a start can be deferred, any prerequisite work for a mid-stream join, and whether induction week collides with a sibling’s calendar. If the family can write down, in one line, what it most wants to protect, the next choice gets easier.
The sample is not a success story used for selling. Names, school names, and grades do not appear in a real Brief either.
Pricing
One question, or up to three.
Both are one-time diagnoses, not a subscription. The Brief is delivered within three business days.

What you receive
- A Decision Brief written for the question in front of you
- The distinctions that matter, and a list of what to check next
- Delivery within three business days (a 30-minute call with In-depth)
- A Brief that does not put personal details in the body
What we don’t do

- We do not sell with inflated results, testimonials, or statistics
Questions
What people usually ask first.
How long does it take?
Once the form and payment are confirmed, the Brief arrives within three business days. The 30-minute follow-up on an In-depth diagnosis is scheduled after you have the Brief, at a time that works for you.
What should I send?
Grade, school type, the decision that needs to be made, and whatever constraints you’re willing to share — timing, capacity, family circumstances — are enough. Transcripts and sensitive documents are not required, and even if you send them, personal details will not be written into the Brief.
Do you guarantee admission?
No. HAEA Decision Diagnosis does not promise a place, an admission, or a scholarship, and it does not declare which school you should attend. What we offer is a clearer statement of the question, and a path for what to check next.
How is this different from the Desk subscription?
Decision Diagnosis is a one-time Brief for the question that’s stuck right now (up to three, in the In-depth plan). If you later want help with everyday decisions, we can introduce the Parent Decision Desk subscription (₩29,000 / month). Buying a diagnosis does not enrol you automatically.
