Private School Placement — U.S. & U.K. (Pre-K Through Grade 12)

Give Your Child the Foundation They Deserve

The journey to a great university doesn’t begin in 12th grade. It begins with the right school. At Kingswell Ivy, we guide families through one of the most important decisions they will ever make: finding and securing admission to the right private school in the United States or United Kingdom.

Whether you are relocating internationally, exploring boarding school options, or simply want your child in an environment where they can truly thrive, our consultants are with you every step of the way.

Finding the Right Fit

Every child is different. The best school for your child isn’t necessarily the most famous one. It’s the one where they will be challenged, supported, and inspired to grow. We take the time to understand your child’s personality, learning style, strengths, and goals before recommending any school.

We work with families seeking day schools, boarding schools, junior boarding programs, and senior schools across the U.S. and U.K. at every academic level.

U.S. Private School Placement

From small nurturing day schools to well-known boarding campuses, the U.S. private school landscape is vast and varied. We help you cut through the noise, identify the right options, and put together an application that gives your child the best possible chance of acceptance.

We support placements from Pre-K all the way through 12th grade, including junior boarding programs for middle schoolers and high school boarding schools.

U.K. Private School Placement

British independent schools offer a world-class education with a rich tradition of academic excellence. We help families, including those relocating from abroad, navigate the U.K. admissions process from prep school entry through sixth form, with confidence and clarity.

Who We Work With

  • International families seeking an English-language education abroad
