In this episode, we chat with Matt Payne, the head of lower school at Nord Anglia International School New York, to hear about how the school works hard to ensure the induction process for new starters goes as well as possible.

He explains how this starts at the interview stage as the school looks to get a sense of how candidates may settle in such a fast-paced and bustling city - and how they help them sort the numerous administrative tasks that await.

He also explains why buddy systems are back after the pandemic - and why a scavenger hunt can be a great way to help people learn about their new home.
