Education Consultants to visit Kuwait! Sue Anderson Consultants offer free impartial advice and guidance on UK boarding schools, summer and language programs. They have visited over 350 UK schools and when they meet with families throughout the Middle East are able to recommend suitable schools for their consideration.
They have been working in the Middle East for 10 years and have found that families consider the option of a UK boarding school for three main reasons: as a stepping stone to university; support for special educational needs and to ensure stability of education if they family has frequent moves (particularly at key points of the curriculum eg IGCSE). The service that they provide is free to families and personal to each family and their children; choosing a boarding school whilst living overseas is a daunting process and the families that they work with appreciate their help and guidance. They will be in Kuwait to meet with families, and they will have copies of the UK Boarding School Directory and school prospectuses.
