Conex-us supports international schools in walking the talk on language inclusion and global citizenship.
Conex-Us partners with international schools in building inclusive, multilingual environments where students thrive and families feel at home.
We envision a global network of schools that celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity as assets: where families feel seen, students flourish, and enrollment reflects a reputation for inclusion.
International schools are often navigating in the dark: unsure how they compare to others, why enrollment is dipping, or what families really want.
The truth? Families are looking for schools that embrace who their children are: their language, their background, their whole identity. And when students don’t feel like they belong, they don’t perform. At Conex-Us, we combine action with deep, contextual insight to help international schools become more inclusive, more responsive, and more attractive to families. Everything we do is customized to your context. Your country, your demographics, your school culture.
Work with us to build belonging from the inside out to see real results in enrollment, parent satisfaction, and student success.It’s about giving them the chance to truly shine.
We’d love to hear about your school’s story, and explore how language and culture can help bring your community even closer together. Whether you’re just starting this journey or already thinking about your next steps, we’re happy to connect.
Conex-Us Consulting was founded by two globally-minded veterans with a shared passion for language, identity, and belonging in international schools.
Patrice Thompson and Caitlin McCarthy bring a powerful blend of classroom expertise and strategic communications, with experience across Morocco, China, Korea, the Netherlands, and beyond. Between them, they speak over half a dozen languages and have supported schools in everything from translanguaging initiatives to global branding and sustainability.
Together, they help international schools turn diversity into connection, and connection into community.
