Schools that Prepare Children for University and Life
School children aged 12-18 from around the world now have the opportunity to attend some of the best educational institutions in the United States and Canada. Education Solutions International, a company that specializes in independent school education, has partnered with a number of successful boarding schools of the United States and Canada to create the North American Consortium of Independent Schools with the goal of bringing information about these boarding schools to the families in the countries of Eurasia, such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan.
The Right School for Every Child
While each of the schools featured on our site specialize in preparing children for university by providing sound learner-centered education that focuses on the whole student, our diverse membership ensures we have the right school for nearly everyone.
Some schools view service and understanding the world as their mission, others focus on international business or leadership. Many of our schools have specialized programs such as robotics, astrology, arts, and athletics. There are co-educational, all-girls and all-boys schools available. Whatever the preference and needs of the student and their parents, we will help them find the school that will best prepare that particular student for excellence in university and life beyond.
Our Mission
The Consortium is an association of North American Independent Boarding Schools who are interested in enrolling students from Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other countries of Eurasia and have made a commitment to streamline boarding school application process for international students. Our mission is to promote and sustain international understanding primarily through admission of students from countries with emerging market economies to successful North American independent schools.
