How we help

From first question to first day

Our advisers work with the family from the first question to the first day of term.

  1. Tell us about the student

    Age, current school year, subjects and the kind of school you have in mind.

  2. Get a shortlist

    We suggest schools that suit the student's level, budget and preferred part of the UK.

  3. Apply and sit entry tests

    We prepare the application with you and help with the school's tests and interviews.

  4. Visa and guardianship

    Students under 18 need the right visa and, at most boarding schools, a UK guardian. We guide you through both.
