The guided chooser
Filter and re-rank the table below by the priority that matters most to your family. Each preset re-sorts on the matching published dimension of the Mirabello Index; the default order is the Index ranking. A metric lead is not a recommendation, and there is no universal winner.

Generated from the Mirabello verified programme dataset, 2026 Q3 Edition. Only programmes with rank_status "ranked" appear here; provisional and reference entries are tracked in the full Index.
Indicative routing only, never an eligibility determination. The AI assessment maps your answers against all 96 tracked programmes.
Methodology and integrity
Each programme is scored 0-100 on seven dimensions, combined into a weighted composite. Where a dimension has no verified data it is excluded and the remaining weights are re-normalized (see data_completeness). The full weights, dimension definitions and official-source hierarchy are published on the Index methodology page. This comparison is rules-based: it reports where each programme leads on published criteria, and it does not recommend one programme over the other, because there is no universal winner.

Head-to-head
Every pair page compares the two programmes metric by metric on the same verified dataset, with per-row sources, family cost computation where verified fee schedules exist, and the observatory change log for both.
Questions
On the current 2026 Q3 Edition, St. Kitts and Nevis holds the highest composite in this table (85.7 / 100). The ranking is rules-based against published, weighted criteria; it is not a recommendation and there is no universal winner, because the right programme depends on the criteria you weight.
Each programme is scored 0-100 on seven dimensions, combined into a weighted composite. Where a dimension has no verified data it is excluded and the remaining weights are re-normalized (see data_completeness). The full weights and dimension definitions are published on the Index methodology page, and every headline figure carries field-level provenance with a verification date.
Published minimums in this table run from $75,000 upwards, before government fees per family member. Family totals differ materially by programme; the pair pages linked below compute government-side family costs from published fee schedules where verified data exists.
