International Schools

“Having been a member of the founding senior team at a Harrow International School Hong Kong, I have first-hand experience of the rewards and challenges of setting up a brand new international school. As such, I am well-placed to advise on leadership appointments in both new and established international schools”

Seth Bolderow, Head of Education


Wild Search has a strong network and experience of researching and advising on international leadership and growth, notably through our work in education and publications.

Our track record in search encompasses the appointment of the Overseas Projects Director for Haileybury, the Director of the British Institute of Florence, senior appointments for the European Conservatives and Reformist and the Global Fund. We have also advised a number of international colleges on senior appointments such as d’Overbroeck’s (Head of International School), MPW (Vice Principal) and Dukes Education.


We have published five reports which focus on both the success and potential for UK schools and colleges to expand overseas:

In addition, the UK’s potential influence through education is revealed in our research note on soft power.
