Independent guidance for families exploring UK education
Personalised support for independent school pathways, short-term placements, and educational experiences in the UK.
Keyhole International supports families who want clear, informed advice when navigating the UK education system.
This is a relationship-led service — focused on fit, wellbeing, and long-term outcomes, not quick decisions or off-the-shelf solutions.
Thoughtful guidance in a complex landscape
The UK offers exceptional educational opportunities, but understanding which options are right for a particular child can be challenging — especially from overseas.
Schools differ widely. Pathways are rarely straightforward. Reliable, independent advice can make all the difference.
Keyhole International exists to help families make informed, confident decisions, grounded in experience and genuine insight.
Led by experience. Built on trust.
George Sparks, Founder of Keyhole International
Keyhole International is founded and led by George Sparks, an education specialist with a background in sport, teaching, and school leadership.
George works closely with families and students to understand their priorities and guide them towards educational experiences in the UK that genuinely suit them — academically, socially, and personally.
This is a highly personal service, shaped by long-term relationships with both families and schools.
Guidance, not a programme catalogue
Keyhole International does not operate as a marketplace for schools or programmes.
Instead, George supports families through a considered process — helping them explore appropriate pathways, understand options clearly, and move forward with confidence.
Every recommendation is tailored. Every journey is different. Advice is always independent.
How I help families
Strong relationships with trusted UK schools
George works closely with a wide range of UK schools, including members of the British Boarding Schools’ Network (BBSN), as well as other highly regarded independent schools across the UK.
These relationships provide families with realistic insight, direct communication, and a collaborative approach focused on the best interests of the student.
Keyhole International works with schools — but always acts for families.
Schools & partnerships
Supporting real families, every step of the way
Families often begin with uncertainty — about timing, suitability, or how a child will adapt.
Through careful guidance and ongoing support, they move forward with clarity and confidence.
“George’s thorough guidance enabled us to sift through numerous courses, eventually leading us to select the one most suitable. This level of attention to detail, emblematic of the high standards at Keyhole International, streamlined our decision-making process and brought great peace of mind.”

An independent guide — on your side
Keyhole International is intentionally small, personal, and relationship-led.
There are no fixed packages, no pressure to choose quickly, and no incentive to recommend one school over another.
Just informed guidance, honest conversations, and a focus on what is right for each individual student.
