REQUEST VIP coordinates an education search around the student, not a prestige list. The brief connects curriculum, learning profile, languages, pastoral needs, location, boarding preference, university direction and family logistics. An education specialist should assess fit and admissions strategy; the concierge keeps research, visits, documents and deadlines moving without promising a place.
Key Facts
- School status, curriculum authorisation and admissions rules should be checked with the institution and the relevant official register.
- An IB label is programme-specific; the official IB directory lets families filter authorised schools by programme and other criteria.
- Application systems do not create one universal deadline: each school, course and university can require different material and dates.
- Visa, guardianship, safeguarding and learning-support questions need qualified local advice and direct written confirmation.
Explore
- Boarding schools — compare boarding model, pastoral care, calendar, travel and guardianship requirements.
- School admissions — organise a shortlist, visits, assessments, references and application milestones.
- University admissions — coordinate course research, testing, application systems and specialist guidance.
- Summer camps — review age, supervision, programme depth, accommodation, insurance and cancellation.
- Tutors and language programmes — define a measurable learning brief before matching a provider.
Private Schools and Boarding Schools
A decision table should compare curriculum, academic support, boarding pattern, class environment, activities, health provision, safeguarding, airport access, term dates and full published cost. Marketing rankings are not enough. Check the school’s legal name, regulator or inspector where applicable, current programme authorisation and whether a requested year group actually has space.
Families moving country also need residence, visa and guardianship questions separated from admission. In England, for example, an overseas child entering specifically to study at an independent school may need a school that is a licensed student sponsor; the applicable route must be confirmed for the student’s circumstances.
School Admissions
Build the calendar backwards from official deadlines and school-specific assessments. The working file can track enquiry status, visit dates, reports, translations, references, test format, interview preparation, deposit conditions and decision dates. REQUEST VIP may coordinate appointments and authorised document flow, but the family and appointed adviser remain responsible for truthful submissions and final choices.
University Admissions
Start with course substance, entry requirements, teaching format, location, cost and graduate direction. UCAS publishes cycle dates, while each course listing controls the applicable requirement; Common App likewise tells applicants to track each college’s own materials. A concierge can maintain the timeline and arrange tutors or visits, but cannot write work presented as the student’s own or guarantee an offer.
Summer Camps
For a camp, verify the legal operator, dates, age band, daily schedule, staff supervision, accommodation, medical process, transport handoff, insurance expectations and refund terms. “Luxury” should describe relevant comfort or access, not replace safeguarding evidence.
Tutors and Language Programmes
Define the goal first: curriculum recovery, entrance test, interview confidence, subject depth or language progression. Then compare tutor identity, qualifications, references, safeguarding checks where lawful and relevant, lesson format, reporting and substitution policy. Progress measures should be agreed without creating an admissions guarantee.
How It Works
- Share the student profile, locations, timing, budget range, priorities and non-negotiable support needs.
- REQUEST VIP confirms its coordination role, adviser involvement, research scope, fees and information process.
- Review a reasoned shortlist, official requirements, visit plan, application calendar and unresolved risks.
- Approve applications and logistics; keep decisions, deposits, deadlines and specialist handoffs in one record.
