What We Do

At HSEA, our associates are recognized leaders in education and have served for over 85 collective years as professors, directors of admissions, board members, and legal counsel for top US and European academic institutions. We possess rich and varied experiences. Some of our associates are professors at leading American universities and have long standing ties to American and Chinese educational systems. Other associates have unique insight into primary and secondary school options. They gained such knowledge through their work as directors of admissions for leading independent primary and secondary schools or have served as trustees for such schools, and bring that expertise to each client.

We work exclusively with Chinese students who are seeking an education at a primary school, secondary school, college or university in the United States. Through a partnership with both the students and their families, we customize an approach to the admissions process that allows the student to find the best match for his or her interests.

The United States is home to a wealth of educational opportunities. The process of selecting and applying to the right schools can feel complex and overwhelming. Harvard Square Educational Associates’ depth of knowledge about secondary schools and universities allows us to navigate confidently the process of applying to and selecting the right school. Each school has its own distinct culture. Harvard Square Educational Associates is unique in the way that we combine a broad spectrum of cultural experience and expertise in both America and China. This combined expertise allows us to work with you to achieve a successful educational match.

Selecting the right school is about finding the right fit for each student. Our individualized process begins with meetings that allow us to truly understand a student’s strengths and aspirations. We possess an expertise about schools and the application process, but success is only possible through gaining a rich understanding of the student. Harvard Square Educational Associates are not agents and we do not accept money from schools or organizations for placement. Therefore, we are able to maintain integrity throughout the process, allowing us to tailor the experience to meet the needs of students and their families.

Education is not simply a matter of admissions. At Harvard Square Educational Associates, we are committed to guiding students towards a successful matriculation and a fulfilling academic experience.
