Carlucci American International School of Lisbon (CAISL)

“From day one, my experience with the Unifrog platform has been amazing. For anything that we need, the customer service is excellent and very supportive. I know that if I have a question, it'll get answered."

Carlucci American International School of Lisbon (CAISL) is a non-profit school based just outside of Lisbon, Portugal. They support more than 750 students from the local and expat community, offering both the US High School Diploma and the IB Diploma. 

Supporting students 

“We use Unifrog to help students explore their IB options, search for universities, and complete their Common App using Unifrog synchronization. Before Unifrog, the process was a little less organised, but Unifrog has really helped me to speed up the process in terms of getting all the necessary information to write the letters of recommendation. I can also keep track of student interests through the shortlists they share with me.” – Diana (teacher)

“Unifrog has helped me to support students – before Unifrog, there was a lack of communication and transparency. Now, I can talk with students easily, and it feels like we're in more of a partnership working together.”  – Luke (counsellor) 

Choosing the next step

“When students don't know what career they want to pursue, they often do psychometric tests. Using Unifrog is very helpful for this, because its psychometric tests provide students with multiple career paths, which can broaden their horizons in terms of what to pursue.” –  Diana (teacher)

"We recently had a student who's always been interested in math, but didn't know what it would mean to study math at degree level. One of the exciting offerings Unifrog has is the short, online courses. Having that opportunity to experience an online course in math really showed that young man that he wanted to study it at a higher level." –  Luke (counsellor) 

“Previously I wanted to do fashion, but I took a few of Unifrog's psychometric tests and discovered that I really enjoyed marketing. Before Unifrog, I started researching different colleges in Barcelona and Madrid. I found some options, but with Unifrog I got more results, and those results were more specific. Unifrog gives you all the information you need about each university in one place.” –  Emily (student) 

Customer care

“From day one, my experience with the Unifrog platform has been amazing. Any question I have is answered within 24 hours maximum. For anything that we need, the customer service is excellent and very supportive. I know that if I have a question, it'll get answered.” –  Luke (counsellor) 

Involving parents 

"One of the big benefits for us is that parents can have an account as well. The parents who went to university did so 20 or 30 years ago and their children's experience is much different. Through Unifrog, they can see what their children see, talk with them about any opportunities they've spotted, and guide them through it.  – Luke (counsellor) 

Favourite feature

“It's a one-stop shop. The students can research everything in one part of their browser, rather than trying to keep track of lots of different tabs.” – Luke (counsellor) 

“I think it's really important that everyone has the same opportunities. It's really cool that Unifrog has this idea that anyone from anywhere across the world can look at all these opportunities for their future.” – Emily (student)
