About RS Education

Our practice was honed through our years of experience at Khartoum International Community School (KICS).  Reem started College Counselling in 2009 and over the next 14 years developed her role to include IB Diploma Coordinator, Head of IB and most recently Head of Counselling with responsibility for implementing a Comprehensive Counselling Curriculum. Samia, closely involved in all aspects of the school’s development, joined the College Counselling department in 2017 and since then they have worked together very successfully, encouraging, guiding and supporting young adults.

Since its first graduating class in 2009, KICS became renowned for its IB Diploma Programme and the strength of its College Counselling service. Students were guided towards many of the top-ranked universities in the world over the next 14 years.

Popular universities for KICS students have included MIT, Harvard, UC San Diego, NYU, Georgia Tech, UBC, Toronto, Loughborough, Amsterdam, Leiden, Eindhoven, Stanford, Oxford, Southampton, Manchester, Exeter, Imperial College and NUS.

Our Story

It is on the foundations of this proven record that RS Educational Consultants stands. The success of College Counselling at KICS was founded on building personal relationships with students and families and offering them the best possible support in navigating the fast-changing world of higher education applications. We are student-focused and believe in best-fit counselling, to find the higher education institution where young people will be both happy and successful.

Mrs Samia always encouraged me to push myself, and I would always walk away from our meetings feeling significantly less stressed and more confident in myself and my goals. Your patience, humour and guidance have always been invaluable to me and I hope you know how much I appreciate you.
