A firm built around the long view.
Prime Education was founded in 2021 in Irvine, California, with an Asia-Pacific office in Qingdao. We focus on education planning and international admissions for families who want a clear plan, not just a set of applications.
What we do
We work with families applying to schools and universities in the U.S., the UK, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong and across Europe. Our clients include internationally minded families, students at international schools, and strong students from leading high schools and universities.
Most engagements run 12 to 48 months. We plan the student's path, manage every step of the process, and make sure the academic record, activities and application strategy all support each other.
Our advisors were educated at Ivy League universities, and some have served on Ivy League admission committees or taken part in international admissions training. Our wider network covers STEM, business, the social sciences, the arts and humanities, and pre-medicine.
