“How
our School Search Services Started"
Finding a school in Hong Kong can be
difficult. I learned this in the summer of 2007 when ITS Tutorial School received numerous enquiries
from relocation companies on behalf of relocating families who were waiting for school
places.

Even though I had been an
educator in Hong Kong for many years, I didn’t realise that so many parents were
struggling to find school places and many children were not able to get into schools. I soon
realized that relocating parents didn’t have the right tools or support to select the best
schools. I was familiar with many of the international and local schools but researching the in’s
and out’s was a long arduous task and after one year of research, building a rapport
with admissions managers and other school personnel; we were ready to launch the school consulting
services for ITS.
We primarily set up the services with relocating families in mind
but I soon discovered that Hong Kong residents were also in need of advice in how to navigate the
various systems. It was essential to make this process easier for families. After two years
working with families from various backgrounds facing various difficulties in finding schools, our
team of consultants who are also experts in various areas of education had taken our school search
services to a highly sought-after service. We were able to offer our services to some of Asia’s
most recognisable corporations helping their valued employees find the right schools for their
children when relocating and we launched our consultancy services in Singapore in
2011.
Currently, we help families select the right preschool, primary, secondary
school options and special need institutions. As well as this, we have experts who advise parents on
selecting boarding schools in the UK, various areas of Asia and Universities in the US and
UK.
The school search services were set up on the premise that every child is different and
what suits one child does not suit the other. Our wide-ranging knowledge of education, our
understanding of curriculum, exams, and, most of all, our satisfied school placement clients, have
made us the trusted education resource in Asia, delivering peace of mind to parents who need to
secure school places.
Our professional experience and research
led to the publication of The Unique Asia
Schools Guide which in 2016-2017 (8th edition) will cover international schooling in
Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur & Johor and Bangkok.

We look forward to assisting
