Cognita schools are united by academic excellence, character development and a global perspective whilst offering parents a diversity of locations, price points, age ranges and entry tariffs. Our UK schools are rooted in British heritage, history and culture and teach British values. An excellent set of results is a natural by-product of our approach and our students have progressed to over half of the world’s top 100 universities. My team and I work with relocating families, their consultants and corporations, to help them find the best-fit Cognita school for their children. We then support them through the admissions process and help with any visa and immigration matters.
