Guiding Students from Everywhere and at Every Level of Education

International students from middle school through graduate school take comfort in our expert, knowledgeable, and caring guidance. 

We love our rich history of serving international students and families from over 65 countries. With two of our counselors located in Europe, our entire international team of school, college, and graduate school counselors having all lived, studied and worked abroad, and our regular travel to visit families, school and university campuses and contacts, we maintain our industry leading knowledge of international admission and educational trends. Our educational counselors are highly knowledgeable of the diverse intricacies of international schooling systems, their academic grading scales, and foundational philosophies and practices. We use this expertise to guide students to the right school, university, or graduate program in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. or the E.U. using our W.I.S.E. Method of Educational Planning ™ .

We also provide international university planning for international and US students looking to study in the U.S., Canada, EU and UK.
