Global Education & Sports Partners (GESP)
Your Guided Path Into U.S. Boarding Schools
Built by former boarding school educators, championship coaches, and admissions directors, GESP matches global families to U.S. boarding schools aligned with each student’s strengths, interests, and long-term goals — then guides them through the entire admissions process.
Discover the best schools for you
Admissions should be a two-way match: the school has criteria for the students they accept, but your child needs criteria for where to apply. GESP's seasoned consultants break down the factors you can't read about in rankings, websites, or reviews.
ACADEMICS
What matters more than test scores
• How the school teaches, not just how hard it is to get into
• What study resources does the school provide?
• Whether the science or history department is particularly strong
ATHLETICS
Recruitment to a top athletics program is not the same as playing for it.
• Whether the varsity coach is known to bench Freshman regardless of how good they are
• Whether a team is in specific need of the position you play
• What the level of competition is in a school's division or league
TUITION & AID
The published tuition rarely tells the whole story
• How each school qualifies international families for financial aid
• Scholarships vs. Aid
• Comparing two different financial offers
ENROLLMENT SIZE
How School Size Affects Everything Else
• Overall School Size vs. Student-Teacher Ratios
• Level of competition for joining clubs and teams
• How many other international students are on campus?
LOCATION
How Location Affects Your Experience
• Does the nearest airport offer a direct flight home?
• What students say about off-campus life?
• How close from the nearest town, or major hospital?

GESP helps families from all over the world (including the United States) to both understand how boarding schools evaluate your child, and how your child should evaluate boarding schools.
After identifying suitable U.S. boarding school choices, we help students prepare applications, navigate financial aid, prepare for athletic recruitment, and manage the transition of home to your new school.
GESP works with student-athletes and non-student athletes alike. Whatever a student’s interests may be, we will work to leverage it to maximum effect in their applications.
Students ages 11 to 19, from Grade 6 through a postgraduate year.
That includes younger students entering a junior boarding school, students entering high school at any grade, and students who have already finished high school and want a postgraduate (PG) year at a U.S. boarding school before college. If your child is already in high school, it is not too late to start.
