What is the The English Education in Africa?
After supporting many families around the world with school and university placements, along with the increase in families sending their children to the UK to board, we have a dedicated office in Nairobi to support families through the process.
The majority of international families considering a UK independent school education seek common objectives. African families in particular are committed to sending their children to UK boarding schools because of the reputation such schools have for:
-
high academic standards
-
excellent pastoral care
-
a full range of extra-curricular activities
-
increasing their children’s chances of successful application to the best UK, US and global universities.
The English Education in Africa provides tailor-made advice and support about placement at the very best UK and global institutions.
Our focus is clear – we will always strive to find the right school, university or course for the right student, using our expertise, sector wide knowledge and networks to ensure that we look well beyond the basics.
Parents seek high quality support to help them make the most important of decisions, realising that they have little access to the right information and networks, with a growing appreciation that too many local agents and consultants lack expertise and sector specific knowledge.
We use our APT assessment to establish the academic profile of each student, prior to holding consultations with both child and parents. Having presented an Initial Report to parents, which will include a list of recommended schools, full detail about those schools and explanation as to why they have been deemed best fit for the student. The English Education team will then support with the process of application through to acceptance. Support with tutoring, guardianship and mentoring is also readily available through our team.
