Parent FAQ
Make the decision with clear information
Will my child need to leave their current school?
International Dual Diploma students remain at their current school and meet both schools’ requirements. Full-Time Enrollment at SFI students choose SFI as their primary school and do not need another school simultaneously.
How much structure does asynchronous learning require?
Students need a regular weekly study routine, a suitable workspace, and the ability to plan assignments. Flexible access does not remove deadlines or academic expectations.
How will we learn about progress?
Before enrollment, ask SFI to confirm the available progress reports, grading information, communication channels, and reporting schedule for your child's program. The future Moodle integration does not currently provide parent access on this website.
What technology is needed?
A reliable computer, current web browser, stable internet connection, and a quiet study environment are the basic starting point. Any course-specific requirements should be confirmed before enrollment.
Does the diploma guarantee university admission or funding?
No. Universities set their own admission and financial-aid requirements. SFI does not promise admission, scholarships, visas, or employment outcomes.
