Getting to know MARYADI
During our initial meeting, we'll discuss the key aspects of the British education system, available programmes, and school options. We'll walk you through the most important factors to consider so you can make a well-informed decision.
Choosing a school
Choosing a school is one of the most important steps. There are around 500 independent schools in England, each with its own character and strengths. Our team knows these schools inside out and will help you find the best match for your child — based on real experience, not marketing.
Application and admissions
To apply, you'll need a complete set of documents: application forms, school reports, references, and test results. The MARYADI team will help you prepare everything properly at each stage to avoid any mistakes.
Paying fees directly to the school
We ensure full transparency with all payments. Fees are paid directly to the school — your money is protected at every stage. With our guidance, you're investing in a quality education for your child.
Starting school
Starting at a new school is a big moment for both the student and the family. We understand how important this is, so our goal is to make sure you feel fully prepared and confident.
What are your chances of getting in?
Every case is unique — and so are your chances. We'll look at your child's full profile, from grades to hobbies, and give you a personalised assessment with tips to strengthen the application.
