About DNA Guardianship
Guided by Experience, and a Parent's Insight
We are two seasoned education professionals from Canada and Mexico, dedicated to supporting international students at Canadian boarding schools through personalized guardianship services. With over 45 years of combined experience in education and international student programs, we understand that succeeding abroad requires more than academic success, it demands care, trust, cultural sensitivity, and consistent guidance.
As parents ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to entrust your child’s well-being to someone far from home. We have guided our own children through different cultural and educational environments, and we know the questions, worries families carry when their teenagers study abroad. We strive to ensure that students feel supported, confident, and secure, and that parents feel informed, reassured, and connected at every step.
A Trusted Extension for the Families and Schools
We partner closely with boarding schools, serving as a reliable extension of both the family and the institution. With deep knowledge of school expectations and student life, we help bridge cultural, academic, and personal needs—always with sensitivity, discretion, and care.
Unlike large agencies, we provide direct, hands-on guardianship. Families and schools always know exactly who is responsible, how to reach us, and that there is continuity of care throughout the student’s journey. We are present, responsive, and fully committed—because for us, guardianship is not just a service, it is a responsibility built on trust.
