How to choose the right school
Don't know your PYP from your Kathy Walker?
Your I.B.O and Montessori?
Public v Private?
​
Do I want my child differentiated?

​
Confused? We'd be surprised if you weren't.
​
Welcome to the wonderful world of school! It will be a delightful family journey, so let us help you select the right school.
Public Vs private, inquiry based learning, differentiation, religious education, extension programs, mental health and wellbeing...there’s a lot to consider. Are all your children similar? (Usually not!) So let’s consider whether the local primary school will meet the needs of the whole family.
Are you hoping to feed into a particular Secondary School or college? Let’s discuss this now.
​

It works by meeting you and learning about your family, your values and your child or children.
​
We'll start by emailing you a copy of our MSC Student profile for you to fill in so we get an understanding of your child and the needs and expectations of your family. Once you choose a package that's right for you, we will meet over Zoom or face-to-face to gather all the information we need to gain an accurate picture of your ideal school. Our consultants will review your data and research in detail a number of school options which will we present to you. Additional sessions can be arranged.
