Right Place Education in India
A personalised service helping families find the right school place. Our experienced team places students in some of the most selective and competitive schools across the UK, and we know that choosing the right one takes experience, support, and a clear plan to help your child thrive.
We are here to make the whole process simple and stress-free - for both you and your child.
With our teams in New Delhi and the UK, you'll get friendly, expert advice to help you confidently navigate the British education system.
Top-quality education support with local experts in India
Led by a hugely experienced former headmaster based in the UK, and supported by knowledgeable and passionate individuals on the ground in India, Right Place Education offers personalised help for families exploring the best-fit UK or Swiss boarding schools. We’re here to guide you through every step of the process.
Coaching and mentoring are part of our search services, or can be offered on their own if that’s what you need.
With more and more Indian families now choosing UK and Swiss schools, we've opened an office in New Delhi to offer local, expert support throughout the process.
UK and Swiss boarding schools are known for strong academics, great care and support, a wide range of activities, and helping students get into top universities worldwide. We give families honest, personalised advice to find the best school fit, not just the most obvious one.
Our team uses a simple assessment (Academic Profiling Test – APT - co-founded by Right Place Education’s Jimmy Beale) to understand each child’s strengths, then shares a shortlist of schools we believe suit them best. From there, we guide families through applications, interviews, and beyond—including help with tutoring, mentoring, and guardianship if needed.
Personalised and Tailored Advice
Right Place Education works closely with families to ensure that each child is placed at the most suitable boarding school for the individual, chosen from all the schools offering a high-quality education in the UK.
We do this by striving to meet the following aims:
