Advisory to opening day, then a decade of accountability.
Most advisors hand over a report and move on. GSE stays for the result. We advise on feasibility, deliver the school, then manage it under agreements that hold us accountable for academic and financial performance. Our clients include private investors, family offices, developers, and government-linked entities.

Led from the field, not the head office.
GSE was founded in 2011 by Greg Parry and Shanna Parry after years leading international schools themselves. Both remain directly involved in every project, from feasibility through to head of school appointments.
