Boarding School Admissions
The people of Education-SI have been working for boarding schools in Russia and Eurasia since 2004 because we believe they offer the world's best preparation for life at university and beyond. With an office in Russia, partners throughout Eurasia, and an office in the United States we are awake at the same times as both you and your families. Our goal is to offer your applicants all the courtesies you would, but in their native language and at their convenience. Think of us as your bilingual admissions office overseas.
Test Administration: If your applicants haven't had time or are unable to find a suitable location to take the standardized test that you need, we provide totally secure administration of a variety of standardized tests. We guarantee security and can typically arrange for testing within one week--sometimes faster--almost anywhere in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and elsewhere in Eurasia.
Interview Services: We will interview students for you, or arrange phone interviews, where we can guarantee the identity of the interviewee. Interviews can be done in English as well as Russian.
Webcam or videotaped interviews can also be arranged.
Travel to Russia: Whether you choose to come on our annual trip to meet students and visit schools or travel by yourself, we'll make all your arrangements and even set up special meetings.
Education Fairs: Not sure which fair to visit? Try the one that we think is the best organized.
Document Forwarding: Don't lose a student because a document was lost or misunderstood. We will make sure that no documents are lost or misplaced and that all of them are signed on time.
Join the North American Consortium of Independent Schools: Since 2006, the Consortium has brought 36 academic year students to North American boarding schools (only four of these needed scholarships) and 30 summer school students. Let Education-SI recruit students for you and bring them to your school.
Recruit Scholarship Students: Education-SI will find Eurasia's highly talented and motivated students and bring them to your school. These students are among Eurasia's brightest, with great English skills, but without the resources to pay for a boarding school education.
Assimilate your Website: Whether it's developing content that makes sense to the Russian eye and ear, getting your site registered with search engines that are most widely used (NOT Yahoo and Google), or simply put some text into the proper language, Education-SI will make sure your message is heard and understood in the way you'd like it to be.
Enhance Communication: Ever notice that voicemail isn't used so widely in other parts of the world? Or, what if your applicant's parents don't speak English? Our bilingual staff will make calls from our Moscow office at the times that make sense to pass along the message you need. We'll take over all communication essentially providing your school with a local representation.
