Bedi Walker was essential to my success in the boarding school admissions process. With his deep network in the admissions community and years of experience, Bedi coached me to land the right scholarship at the right school and that's made all the difference in my academic and professional journey.

If it had not been for Bedi, I would not have applied to boarding school for sophomore year and I definitely would have never applied to Milton. Bedi convinced my mother of the benefits of going to boarding school now rather than a year later, and convinced me to apply to Milton, an English and writing intensive school that pushed me far out of my comfort zone.

I can highly recommend Mr Michael “Bedi” Walker for assistance and direction on admissions to Boarding School. She was accepted into all of the eight schools on the SAO platform that she applied to.

He understands what kids want, and what it means to find the best fit for each student. [...] Hats off to Bedi for helping us to narrow things down, so that our son could make the final, and right decision.

My husband and I have so much respect for Michael (Bedi) Walker - as a person and for his professionalism. Bedi was able to place our 3 children in US boarding schools, taking into account their different personalities.

Not only did he strategize our applications to some of the highest-ranked schools in the US, but he also curated our school lists for the best fit. [...] The intellectual exposure I received in my boarding school not only prepared me for college, but has also continued to shape my personal and professional interests to this day.

She was very unhappy, and at a very late stage it became clear that her grades were going to reflect her unhappiness, in a serious way. So, I emphasize again, at a very late stage, in a bit of a panic, we called Bedi.

Last year, after our daughter, Sabrina, decided that she would like to attend boarding school in the United States for her final two years of high school, we were at a loss as to how to proceed. Bedi met with us (including Sabrina) at length, and based on her personality, academic performance and interests, guided us to look at certain schools that may have been of interest to her.

I’ve have been working with Michael “Bedi” Walker since the fall of 2009. I have great respect for what he has done to expose Caribbean families to a variety of US and Canadian boarding schools.

The idea of sending your child to Boarding School is a daunting one. In Jamaica there are only a few schools, and chances are you probably went to one of the schools you would consider for your child.

Bedi’s first hand understanding of independent school communities and requirements, in addition to his connections and resources has truly helped Pomfret to develop a strong relationship with families in the Caribbean. His true strength comes from the fact that he really knows and understands the schools and knows his students well, so he is great at matching students with the schools that suit their interests and talents best.

We have worked with Bedi for over 5 years to help us find the “right” boarding school for each of our three children. This unique combination is what assures us that he understands what his clients are going through—and what it is they need to get the “right” result.
