Signposting you to the best boarding schools

The perfect match – we’ll find the right fit for your child
We’ll take the time to truly get to know you and your child – it is essential for us to speak to them as this allows us to create a bespoke student profile. We will then present you with a choice of suitable schools. Together, we’ll take a look at different school profiles, discuss pros and cons, as well as to what extent our choice of schools will foster your child’s individual interests, hobbies and talents. We will find the perfect match for your child – as showcased by our growing alumni community.

Decades of experience and long-standing relationships with our partner schools
We’ve known our partner schools for five decades, half a century. Regular visits to and daily conversations with our schools ensure that we are always up to date regarding the daily life at boarding school and our schools’ respective profiles. We know what our partner schools are all about – and what makes them truly special. We’ve spent decades building relationships shaped by trust. This is the secret to our success in finding the perfect match – every single time. This exceptional relationship also ensures that our partner schools pay particular attention to your child. We know our points of contact at our partner schools personally and stay in touch throughout your child’s stay at their school.

Academic advising
We ensure a smooth transition into the school system back home. We help you choose the right subjects so that you won’t have to repeat or lose a year. Our comprehensive academic guidance is a hallmark of our service. We are familiar with the different school systems, as well as university requirements, which allows us to create a bespoke schedule for your child.

Smooth sailing
We are with you every step of the way – before, during and after your child’s adventure abroad. Making use of our extensive expertise, we make sure that their application to their dream school turns into a success. We also know that the visa process, as well as all of the red rape in general, can be daunting. We support you here as well, so that you won’t have to worry about deadlines or missing documents.

Always available
We are always there – any time. We will support you and your child during their time at boarding school and beyond.

Our alumni network
Our alumni network provides long term benefits. We are proud of our former students and the sense of community that they have created and continue to foster well into their adult lives. Our comprehensive support does not run out once your child graduates. We stay in touch with our alumni throughout their education and career.

Expertise and
trust

Why choose a professional consultation?

Choosing the right school can be overwhelming. In North America alone, there are thousands of boarding schools that focus on different things.
Researching them requires a lot of time and patience.

Nottebohm Educational Consultants – Why choose us?

We provide you and your child with expert guidance and advice. We’ve been working with our boarding schools for 50 years – establishing long-standing relationships that are based on trust and shared expertise. This allows us to find the perfect match for your child, drawing on each school’s unique selection of classes and activities to foster your child’s individual talents.
We have made our mark on the boarding school world – in particular as educational consultants.

Our partner schools, former students and parents agree – comprehensive guidance and an empathetic approach are the hallmarks of our service.

Our strength? – We truly listen

We’ll talk to you and your child, but, most of all, we truly listen. We want to get to know your child’s personality, their hopes and preferences. At the same time, this allows us to analyse their strengths and opportunities regarding their curriculum. We care about everything you care about – plain and simple as that. We are committed to finding the school that perfectly matches every single aspect of your child’s personality and preferences. That’s our promise to you!
