Keystone is one of the UK’s leading educational consultancies. With offices in London, Singapore and Hong Kong, our consultants support families all over the world with advice relating to UK independent schools and UK universities. Most of this work relates to helping students achieve places at schools and universities, but we advise on the whole gamut of the contemporary educational experience.
We use a variety of sources to guarantee the quality and reliability of our advice: objective published information that we have organised in our own database, as well as more subjective, anecdotal information based on our many years in the sector. We have built up relationships with the most informed and respected members of the educational community, and many of our consultants have been advising families for many decades.
