Finding the right school for a child takes more than a look at the rankings. It takes personal knowledge of the schools, a sense of what a child needs and years of experience. We guide the entire process, from a carefully considered selection of 200 partner schools through the application and subject choices to personal support throughout the school stay and the return to Germany.
200 partner schools
There are league tables, open days and glossy prospectuses. None of them tell you what the boarding house feels like at nine on a Tuesday evening, or how the head of sixth form handles a student who is struggling. We know those things because we have spent thirty years finding out. Our relationships with school Heads, academic staff and admissions teams are are working relationships, built on trust, that open doors for our families.
Your point of contact for as long as your child is abroad
Most consultancies end at the school gate. The application is complete, the place is confirmed, and you are on your own. We work differently. Finding the right school is the beginning of what we do, not the conclusion. We are there for the questions that come up during the term, for the academic difficulties nobody predicted, for the things that are hard to sort out from home. When something needs to be addressed, we speak directly to the people who can actually do something about it.
We see ourselves as your companion in the process.
What our support covers
Free initial consultation: We start by getting to know your child and what your family is looking for.
School selection: We recommend four or five schools that genuinely fit, not a long list to work through alone.
Admissions: Our relationships with the schools simplify the process and open doors that are not always open.
Subject choices: We advise on A-Levels and the IB with a clear eye on university entry in Germany or abroad.
Throughout the school stay: We're always there on the other side of the phone. You will always speak to someone who knows your child's situation.
Our consultation days
We meet families in person at our Munich office and at locations across Germany on selected weekends. Online consultations via Zoom or MS Teams are available at any time. The initial consultation is free.

The following schools will be participating: Ardingly College, Bromsgrove School, Haileybury, Malvern College, Rugby School, Sevenoaks School, St Edward's Oxford und Worth School.
What our partner schools say

Denstone College, Dover College, Earlscliffe, Gresham's School, Mount Kelly, Oswestry, St Clare's Oxford, St Edmund's School, St Leonards School, Tettenhall College, Warminster School, Winchester College und Worth School.

"Over the past six months you supported us with remarkable commitment and expertise. You were always there when we needed you, responded immediately and gave us clear, considered advice at every turn. Your warm and straightforward approach meant we always felt that things would work out.
We are particularly grateful for the speed and transparency of your communication and the honesty of your guidance throughout. That Kaiyang has now received an offer from his dream school is in large part down to your experience, your patience and your exceptional support."

"I want to thank you once again for placing both our children at such outstanding schools, Woodbridge School and Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation.
Both had, in the truest sense of the word, the time of their lives. The experience enriched and shaped them so profoundly that I find myself wishing it for many other children too, knowing what a privilege it is. Both came home with friendships and connections that will stay with them."
