Schools (K-12) Preparation

Introduction
 
The decisions your family makes about schooling should be the beginning of a mind-broadening and educationally enriching journey for your child. Top schools seek to educate the child both through world class teaching and fostering an atmosphere where culture and learning is absorbed through rigorous study balanced with vibrant student clubs where acting, writing, performing and scientific interests are driven by the students themselves. The history and development of each internationally-renowned school, whether in America, the UK or elsewhere, has been organic and unique and from this arises one of the great strengths and difficulties about the system. Comparing and choosing the right school for your child is a personal process where your own child’s character and individual needs must be fully understood so as to find the perfect match. Looking at statistics, league tables or even renown are no substitute for getting an insider’s perspective from people who understand the schools' cultures from the inside. That is why Studio Private Client Services’ school experts will make it their business to understand your child and your family’s aspirations and will help find exactly the right school for you.
 
Having found the right school, the process of admission is just as varied and complicated and it is important for a child not only to receive appropriate instruction, tutoring and training, but for parents and children to receive expert advice so as to know the right way to showcase your child’s achievements, character and unique attributes that will make your target school understand exactly how your child will contribute to school life. At Studio Private Client Services’ we will be with you, every step of the way helping you choose, accompanying you on visits, negotiating the minefield of applications, supervising your child’s academic progress in the lead up to admission and monitoring and engaging with your child’s progress once at school.
 
Services
 
Extensive interview with parents and child. This is about much more than understanding your child’s academic career, but about understanding their hopes, aspirations, strengths and extra-curricula achievements so as to create a comprehensive profile of your child and family. It is also our chance to get to know you, the parents. What you your educational goals are for your child. This is the first step!
 
A comprehensive academic assessment through online and offline exams.
 
A personal, tailor-made report which is based on both the academic assessment and the interview (see above). This report will not only make recommendations as to what schools to apply for, but will also provide a detailed tutoring plan and academic road map for your child.
 
Quarterly Face to Face Meeting. These meetings are to monitor your child’s progress with the tutoring programme we have laid out, to deal with any issues academic or personal, and to re-assess and re-evaluate short and long term goals.
 
Annual report. Produced every year until your child gains admission to school, this report analyses progress made since the last report and, in the light of that, will re-assess and possibly adjust school recommendations and make further suggestions about academic strategies and approaches for the coming year.
 
School Visiting. We will arrange visits to prospective schools. Our expert guide will take you on a comprehensive tour of the school so you can experience and absorb the atmosphere of the school at first hand and become acquainted with some of the key admissions personnel. 

Application Assistance. We will help you to fill out school admission application forms so that your child’s academic and extracurricular activities are clearly expressed and showcased so your application will stand out.
