They also have a proud sporting and artistic traditions.

As well as children from across the UK, these schools’ welcome international pupils from around the world, who’s parents recognise the benefits of attending a leading British school.

The high demand for places at these highly acclaimed schools by students from around the world has led some of them to expand internationally to countries such as China, Malaysia and the Middle East.

Some are now looking to establish themselves in the USA through a strategic relationship with a third party that shares their educational vision and is able to provide an appropriate location.

We are working with several of the UK’s leading schools which are looking to build long-term relationships with investors in the US.
