Swap your school and your home for a while.

Life Swap lets you travel with your children without giving up what matters most: pedagogical continuity, the values you've chosen as a family and the educational consistency you build every day. Your children keep learning in a school that shares your approach.
Somewhere, a family is waiting to swap lives with yours.
How does it work?

‍
Two families with the same educational approach, sharing values and goals, decide to swap their homes and their schools. This makes an international experience truly accessible to every family, without affecting your budget:each family continues to cover its own expenses, exactly as it would at home. The only cost is the platform access fee.

On the other side of the swap there is always a family like yours —same vision, same approach, same care. And then there's the magic: books you would never have opened, games you'd never played, new flavours, real life in a real city. An authentic immersion in a different culture, lived like a local.

The suitcase is light. The heart fills in ways you never expected.

The moment they begin to discover who they are.

Go Teen is our programme for young people aged 12 to 16. Two teens with the same educational values meet through our platform and share home, school and daily life — first in one city, then in the other.
Because some things can only be learned by living them.
How does it work?
Ana from Valencia spends a month in Edinburgh as part of Edith's family. The following month, the two travel together to Valencia, where Edith becomes part of Ana's family. You learn to be the one who makes room and the one who is welcomed — two different experiences, equally precious. New school, new language, new friendships that may last a lifetime.

Every exchange comes with a dedicated mentor— a neutral figure, independent of both schools, who meets both teens before departure. Every week, the mentor holds a one-to-one session with the teen who is away from home, covering emotional, psychological and physical wellbeing. After each session, the family receives feedback. Conversations stay private, but parents always know everything is fine — and are informed immediately if needed.

A safe harbour, always.

Your experience, exactly as you imagined it.

First Move is our bespoke service for families who want to spend an immersive period abroad, while ensuring their children attend a school that reflects the educational approach they believe in. Every detail is designed around you.
You've imagined it so many times. Now it's possible.
How does it work?

We listen to your wishes and your needs, and together we build the perfect experience for your family. A dedicated consultant supports you from start to finish — helping you find the right school in the city you've chosen, guiding your search for a home and assisting you with the logistical and bureaucratic details.

No exchange: the experience is built entirely around you. You choose where, when and for how long; we support you through everything in between. Your children keep learning, and you're never on your own.

The first step is yours. We'll walk the rest of the way with you.

It's not about studying abroad. It's about becoming a different kind of family

What if your family could live an unforgettable experience anywhere in the world — without giving up the pedagogical continuity and values that matter most to you?

Frequently asked questions answered

Who is We Go & Grow for?

arrow_down

We Go & Grow is for families who have chosen an alternative educational path — Montessori, Waldorf Steiner, Reggio Emilia, Forest School, Democratic Schools — and want to live an experience abroad without giving up the pedagogical continuity and values they have chosen for their children.

Why only alternative education schools?

arrow_down

Because through specific and shared pedagogical methods and approaches it is possible to guarantee educational and values continuity that makes the international experience coherent with the family's choices.

How does it work?

arrow_down

If your school is a We Go & Grow partner, you can register on the platform, complete your family profile and start exploring families who share your same values and educational approach.

How do you find the perfect match?

arrow_down

The platform cross-references pedagogical method, children's ages, teaching language, destination and desired period. Every match is supervised by our team.

Are the families verified?

arrow_down

Yes. All families come from certified partner schools. Every family must have completed their profile with all required documentation before activating an exchange.

Can I participate only if my school is a partner?

arrow_down

It depends on the programme. For Life Swap and Go Teen, yes. For First Move you can contact us directly even if you are not enrolled in a We Go & Grow partner school.

What if my school is not a partner?

arrow_down

You can always let us know — we are happy to discover new virtuous realities! In the meantime you can explore First Move.

Is there an age limit for the programmes?

arrow_down

Our programmes start from 18 months. Go Teen is dedicated to young people between 12 and 16 who want to live the experience independently. Families with children in Go Teen age can still choose to live a family experience with Life Swap.

How long does an exchange last?

arrow_down

From 1 to 3 months. One month is the minimum to truly settle in and connect. Three months correspond to a full term

Is my child's school continuity guaranteed?

arrow_down

Yes. You can choose a partner school with the same method as yours — Montessori with Montessori, Waldorf with Waldorf. Continuity is a choice you make.

What if my child doesn't speak the language of the host country?

arrow_down

The language of the country is not an obstacle. One of the most important filters is the teaching language — and different evaluations can be made depending on the age of your children. Do not hesitate to contact us to receive our support.

Who handles visas and documents?

arrow_down

We Go & Grow manages all exchange documentation. For visas, regulations vary by country and nationality: our team will guide you through your specific case.

Who covers travel expenses?

arrow_down

Each family covers their own. The exchange eliminates the main costs — accommodation and school — making the experience much more accessible.

What if my child struggles to adapt?

arrow_down

Adaptation is part of the journey — and we know it. We prepare families and children with webinars and dedicated consultations before departure. If emotional or relational difficulties arise during the exchange, our team is always there to listen and support.

What happens if something doesn't go as planned?

arrow_down

We Go & Grow is your point of reference throughout the experience. Our team is always available and ready to help you navigate any difficulty.

Is We Go & Grow responsible for the exchange?

arrow_down

We Go & Grow acts as a connection intermediary. Each exchange is based on a voluntary agreement between families, supported by the contractual documents provided by the platform.

Who maintains parental responsibility during Go Teen?

arrow_down

Legal parents retain parental authority. The host family commits to a duty of vigilance and care towards the young person they welcome.

Is We Go & Grow a travel agency?

arrow_down

No. We Go & Grow is a community of families and schools: we facilitate meetings and experiences, we do not sell trips. We provide connection tools between verified families and schools, but we do not book flights, accommodation or activities and do not collect payments related to transport or accommodation. Decisions regarding the exchange — dates, conditions, terms — are agreed directly between families.

Is my personal data safe?

arrow_down

Yes. Your profile is visible to verified families on the platform. Sensitive data is accessible exclusively to the family with whom the exchange has been confirmed. We Go & Grow does not share or sell your data to third parties.
