We work closely with you to understand your child’s goals and guide you at every step. Time commitment is flexible, and consultations can be online or in-person. We adapt to your schedule, preferences, and application timeline.

We combine first-hand international school experience, admissions expertise, and personal mentorship. Our team includes former admissions officers, bilingual consultants, and essay and strategy specialists. Beyond helping students get admitted, we focus on long-term growth so they thrive once enrolled.

No one can guarantee admission. But our guidance and strategies significantly improve your child’s chances. Admissions depend on your child’s profile, how it’s presented, competition, and available seats. Our goal is to help your child put their best foot forward and submit the strongest application possible.

Not at all. Consultations follow your family’s preferred language of communication for comfort and convenience. Several of our consultants are bilingual, and extra language support can be arranged if needed. While some international schools teach in English and have English language requirements, Basso & Basso was founded by bilingual, bicultural international school students who understand and empathize with families from all backgrounds.

The timeline depends on your child’s age, target schools, and application stage. For families applying in a given school year or mid-year, we use our The B&B Signature 8 framework, guiding application prep, essays, interviews, and strategic decisions like waitlists or multiple offers. This process typically takes 3–5 months.

For families starting earlier, we focus on longer-term planning, including skill development, school research, and academic preparation. Every plan is tailored to your child’s goals and needs.

The earlier, the better. Starting early gives us time to design a long-term strategy and skill development plan tailored to your child’s goals. We work with children from pre-K through grade 12, supporting early planning, upcoming-year applications, mid-year transfers, and more.

Even if you’re already mid-process, we can help you navigate key decisions, whether your child is on a waitlist, preparing for interviews (both child and parents), or choosing between multiple offers.

At Basso & Basso, consultant matching is thoughtful and deliberate—never automatic. Each family is paired with a consultant whose experience, school track record, and approach align with your child’s profile and aspirations. We limit the number of clients per consultant to ensure truly personalized, high-touch support.

Your dedicated consultant leads the process, supported by our broader team of specialists. Every application undergoes a Pre-Launch Review by a former Admissions Officer for insider insight, and essay and strategy experts are available to refine and elevate your child’s story.

We provide full K–12 private, international school admissions support, including:

• Personalized Action Plan: A clear roadmap for schools, priorities, and timelines.
• Expert Guidance: Experienced consultants guiding every step of the admissions process.
• Essay & Writing Help: Support for essays, recommendation requests, and school communications.
• Interview Prep: Coaching for students and parents to build confidence and effective communication.

We also offer unlimited consulting hours, bilingual support, and both online and in-person sessions.

Today, international school admissions are more complex than ever, with more schools and tougher competition. In the past, international schools often had a predictable flow of expat children, but now a growing share of local families—who typically stay in one place longer—are applying, while international families are moving more frequently across APAC. This shift, combined with the rapid growth of schools and rising competition, has made finding the right fit more complex and consequential than ever.

Basso & Basso Consulting helps families navigate this evolving landscape with clarity, confidence, and expert guidance, ensuring your child can access the schools where they’ll thrive academically and personally.
