Boarding school admission

We know what
others don’t

The British education system is one of the strongest in the world — and one of the most complex. A mistake in choosing a school becomes apparent a year later, and correcting it is extremely difficult. We work specifically with this risk.

The right selection is key

Almost all British schools are good, but they are very different. It matters to us to find the one where your child will thrive — by pace, style, character and ambitions.

A recommendation that opens doors

We prepare a recommendation that presents the student in the best light for each specific school. Through it, we can secure admission to entrance exams even for students with less-than-perfect grades.

Interview preparation

The school interview carries enormous weight and can tip the scales in your favour — even if exam results are not ideal. We prepare thoroughly for this stage.

We deliver results, even when it seems impossible

Sometimes a student may be rejected due to nationality quotas — no one will say this openly, and an appeal is not possible. We know all these nuances and work with them.

UKiset for top schools

If the goal is Eton, Westminster, Harrow — we conduct UKiset testing to assess the realism of ambitions. If needed, our expert (a former top school head) provides a preparation plan.

Guarantee at no extra cost

If your child is not admitted to any of the chosen schools (which is extremely rare), we continue working until a place at a good school is secured. At no additional cost.

Investing in your child’s education at a British or Swiss boarding school — is a strategic decision that can affect their entire future. The cost of a mistake here is too high.

Full service scope

What’s included in school selection and admission

We work turnkey. Below — the complete list of what we do from the first call to the first day of school.

Airport transfer arrangement and support during the first month of the child’s and family’s adaptation

Answers to all parent questions throughout the process — you can always call us

First, we conduct a 1–1.5 hour consultation in a convenient format (video or audio). We discuss the child’s characteristics, family goals and outline educational pathways. After the consultation, the client decides whether to proceed.

How we work

Step by step from the first call
to the first day of school

After signing the contract, we begin diagnostics, document collection and building a list of suitable schools. This stage takes at least a month. All work is fully online — your location does not affect speed or quality.

Two interviews with the child

In Russian — to understand personality and wishes. In English — to assess language proficiency. Specialists work by appointment; there is a queue for interviews.

Document collection

We compile the document package required for school applications. We explain each item and all the pitfalls.

School selection with detailed descriptions

We prepare a detailed comparative description of 2–5 schools, explaining why each suits your child and how they differ. Other companies do not do this. Minimum timeframe — 14 working days.

Choosing schools for registration

You review the materials, rank them and select 2–3 schools to register with. We answer all your questions.

Recommendation letters and registration

We send schools a recommendation explaining why this student fits that particular school and why they should be admitted to exams — often we succeed even when places are officially unavailable.

Test and interview preparation

We provide guidance on preparing for entrance tests. We prepare the child for the interview — this is the most important part of the process. We conduct several mock sessions if needed.

Visits, tests, enrolment

We coordinate visits and entrance exam dates. After receiving offers, we help compare options, understand the contract and make the right decision.

Departure preparation and adaptation

We help choose extracurricular clubs, explain school rules, packing list, laundry labels. We support the child and family during the first month of school. Available until 1 October of the first academic year.

How to choose a consultant

There are around
2,600 private schools in the UK

Almost all of them are genuinely good — but they are very different. As the saying goes: one man’s meat is another man’s poison. To navigate this system properly, simply «being in the know» is not enough. You need years of practical experience.

The devil, as they say, is in the details. And it is precisely these details that form the foundation of the right choice. These nuances are invisible to non-professionals: they don’t see what lies beneath the surface.

An experienced professional (15+ years) has fundamental knowledge: they know how to compare schools and, most importantly, clearly explain to parents why these particular schools suit their child. There is one more quality a consultant must have — empathy: the ability to sense what the client may not yet realise themselves.

A simple consultant test

Before signing a contract, give your consultant a little exam:

  • How does Oundle School differ from The Leys School?
  • How does Institut auf dem Rosenberg differ from Leysin American School?
  • Is it realistic to apply to Eton, Westminster and Winchester simultaneously?
  • What is the fundamental difference between this «big three»?

You will feel who is in front of you: a professional or an amateur. An amateur will bombard you with links to «good schools» without being able to explain why they suit your child.

Think about it: is this really the place to save? The risk is not just financial. Your child will only turn 10, 13 or 16 once in their life. They won’t get a second chance to go to school.
