}The classification taxonomy (facets and values with English and Korean names) and how many public schools have each value, optionally under filters (same filters as search_schools). Also lists the yearly fact keys and units. Use it to learn valid filter values. Source: USAnaru™ (https://usanaru.com).

Organizations that help international families with U.S. boarding schools — study-abroad agencies, U.S. guardian services and exchange & student program organizations (J-1 Secondary School Student sponsors and CSIET F-1 programs) — filtered by kind, language, country the family lives in, visa (f1, j1) and U.S. state. Each item shows whether it joined (verified) or appears only from the official lists (`verified.status` unclaimed: not reviewed by USAnaru™), its programs, office city/state, website and the page URL. Ordered by how much information an organization provides, never by payment. Organization-level public facts only — no contact people.
