Elizabeth Harding Independent school advisory, UAE

For professional advisers

Private school advisory for your client’s family.

Education is often the element of a UAE relocation that cannot be solved through a standard checklist. Every child, school and admissions situation is different.

Elizabeth welcomes introductions from the professionals looking after a family’s move, and works with the family directly from there. She is paid by the family, takes no commission from schools and does the school work herself.

  • Family offices
  • Private banks and wealth advisers
  • Private client lawyers
  • Immigration professionals
  • Relocation advisers
  • Executive search and mobility teams

Process

How an introduction works.

  1. You make a confidential introduction

    By email or through the enquiry form. Share as much or as little as the family is comfortable with at this stage.

  2. Elizabeth speaks directly with the family

    A first conversation with the parents, at no charge, to understand the children and what the family needs.

  3. Scope is agreed with the right person

    The service and terms are agreed with the family, or with the office acting for them, whichever the family prefers.

  4. Elizabeth handles the school process herself

    She does the work personally, from the first shortlist to an accepted place.

  5. You are kept informed, where appropriate

    If the family is happy for you to be kept up to date, Elizabeth will do that. Nothing is shared without their agreement.
