Attain's guide to private schools

Finding the right school for your child is not easy. Where do you begin? And how do you know if you have covered all the options? Myriad sources claim to help and it can quickly become confusing. Attain has an established reputation amongst schools, developed over nearly two decades, for impartiality, integrity and independence.
Attain is different and so is our guide. We have included over 800 schools, with editorially independent profiles. We do not offer reviews nor opinions. We don't allow marketing spin and work hard to provide the facts parents need to make their own conclusions.

Where do I start?

You can browse our featured schools which have detailed profiles, often with video and other media. Or use our Private Schools Near Me section to browse all the included schools by region and county. We have tried to cover all bases – from parents looking for a local prep school within commuting distance, to those wanting a boarding school further afield.
