Why Choose Us
We Take You Past The League Tables
Exam result league tables can be incomplete and misleading. We examine the particular strengths or weaknesses of a school with you and offer an insight into a school's personality and nuances.
Independent and ethical
We work exclusively for the child and their families, providing honest and impartial advice. We do not accept any agency fees from schools.
Global Reach
Our knowledge of schools is truly global. We are experts in British education but collaborate closely with advisors and other professionals in the US, Europe and Asia, enabling your choices to include the best schools in the world.
Network of excellent tutors
We have access to experienced tutors who can assist in the preparation of entrance examinations and guide you in what to expect for interviews and pre-tests.
Cross-cultural knowledge
We understand both Western and Asian approaches to education, having experienced first-hand the different systems of schools in Asia and the United Kingdom.
Tailored advice
Every child is unique and the search for a school must reflect this. Preferences on academics, location, student body make-up, optimal year of entry, international recognition and branding, extra-curricular activities, are always factored in.
