Keystone is one of the UK’s leading educational consultancies. With offices in London, Singapore and Hong Kong, our consultants support families all over the world with advice relating to UK independent schools and UK universities. Most of this work relates to helping students achieve places at schools and universities, but we advise on the whole gamut of the contemporary educational experience.
We use a variety of sources to guarantee the quality and reliability of our advice: objective published information that we have organised in our own database, as well as more subjective, anecdotal information based on our many years in the sector. We have built up relationships with the most informed and respected members of the educational community, and many of our consultants have been advising families for many decades.
Many of our clients have been through top UK schools themselves and just want an update on whether reputations or processes have changed. We also help many families who are less familiar with the UK education system or looking to relocate to the UK from abroad.
Our Education Consultancy services include:
"Both children received offers from each of their top three schools and we were able to select the right school for each of them. The effort of our tutor and the Keystone consultancy team cannot be underestimated: professional, patient, guiding and passionate to provide a learning environment."
Relocation from Singapore"Just a quick email to thank you both so much for all your help with our application process. We received the excellent news last week that our son has got into Harrow. As you can imagine we were all absolutely delighted with the news. Thanks so much for all your help."
