How your search runs
Five steps, from your brief to your shortlist.
Tell us about your family
Your destination, each child's age and year group, curriculum preferences, budget, start date, travel distance, and anything specific — learning support, languages, sport, a sibling starting later.
Meet with us
A 30-minute conversation so we understand what actually matters to you, and so you can ask the questions that are hard to research from a distance.
We research your destination
We look at the schools that fit your brief: curriculum and examinations, year-group structure, published fees and additional costs, admissions timing, assessment requirements, location and transport, and what each school says about the year groups you need.
You receive your shortlist
3 recommended schools and up to 2 additional alternatives, each with our reasoning: why it fits your family, what to check, and where the risk is.
You decide what happens next
Apply directly, ask us to connect you through the free school search, or come back to us with follow-up questions. One concise follow-up is included.
What we look at
- Curriculum and examinations, and how they line up with your children's current school
- Year-group structure and age cut-offs for each child
- Published fees, plus the additional costs that are easy to miss
- Admissions timing, assessments and what each stage requires
- Location, transport time and the practical daily routine
- Learning support, languages and specific programmes you have asked about
- How stable the school looks for a family staying several years
What is included, and who it is for
Included for $499
- A detailed family brief
- A 30-minute consultation
- Independent research of your destination
- 3 recommended schools
- Up to 2 additional alternatives
- Clear reasoning for every recommendation
- One concise follow-up afterwards
This is for you if
- You are relocating and do not know the city's school landscape
- You have more than one child and different year groups to solve at once
- You have a short window before the move and no time to research
- You have a shortlist already and want a second opinion before you commit
What we can and cannot promise
Schools control their own admissions. We are honest about where our work ends.
What we do
- Research the schools that fit your brief, in your destination
- Explain our reasoning for every recommendation
- Tell you what to check and where the risk is
- Answer one round of follow-up questions
What we do not do
- Guarantee admission to any school
- Guarantee that a place will be available when you apply
- Influence any school's admissions decision
- Guarantee future fees, or that a particular school will accept your family
Every school decides who it admits, on its own terms and its own timetable. Our work is research and judgement, not a placement service.
