# Choosing and applying, with teaching alongside.

Source: https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/courses/school-applications

This service is for Singapore families choosing and applying to boarding schools in the UK or other countries, or to international schools in Singapore and abroad. Your coordinator helps you shortlist schools, manage applications and prepare for joining, while the same team prepares your child for entry tests and interviews.

## From shortlist to joining.

| Stage | What we do | What stays with you |
|---|---|---|
| Shortlist | Suggest schools that fit your child, and say which are partner schools | Choosing where to apply |
| Applications | Timeline, forms and documents checklist (to be confirmed) | Signing and paying school fees |
| Tests and interviews | Preparation through our courses — [boarding school preparation](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/courses/boarding-school-preparation) or [international school entry](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/courses/international-school-entry) | — |
| Offers | Comparing offers and next steps | Accepting an offer |
| Joining | Uniform lists, travel and guardianship information; a list of guardianship providers | Choosing a guardian |

## Referral fees, stated plainly.

ELT may receive a referral fee from partner schools when a student we introduced enrols. We tell you which suggested schools are partners.

Whether a school pays a referral fee does not change the order in which we suggest schools. Schools that are not partners are suggested in the same way when they suit your child.

Guardianship providers: ELT does not arrange guardians itself. We give you a list of providers to choose from, and say if we receive a referral fee from any of them.

## Who teaches.

Test and interview preparation alongside applications is taught by tutors whose background, subjects, tests taught and qualifications checked by ELT are shown on each profile.

## Fees in SGD.

Lessons are priced per one-to-one lesson. Application support is charged separately from lessons. (to be confirmed)

## About applications.

**Which countries do you cover?**

Boarding schools in the UK first, and in other countries; and international schools in Singapore and elsewhere. See [schools by country](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/boarding-schools).

**Do you help with international schools in Singapore?**

Yes. We help you shortlist and apply, and prepare your child for each school's entry assessments and interview through [international school entry](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/courses/international-school-entry). Each school sets its own admissions process.

**Do you help with university applications?**

University applications are a separate service. See [university admissions](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/courses/university-admissions).

**Do you guarantee an offer?**

No. Schools decide admissions.

**Can we use your application support without lessons?**
