Study abroad from Kenya: we get you admitted, and we prepare you for the visa
SchoolRegistry Pathways works with partner universities and colleges in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, Europe and Asia. Admission is our job: we take you from the shortlist to the offer letter. The visa is decided by the embassy, so we prepare your file and prepare you for the interview. It costs your family nothing.

Visa: we prepare you, the embassy decides

Questions people ask
- Who are your partner schools?
- Universities and colleges in our priority countries: United Kingdom, Canada, United States, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Malta, Spain. Your counsellor shortlists the programmes that fit your grades and your budget. If you have another country in mind, ask, because we add countries as new partners join.
- Will I get admitted?
- Admission is the part we take care of. We only apply to programmes you qualify for, we prepare a complete file with you, and we work with the school until the offer letter comes through. Then we handle the deposit and the acceptance letter the visa needs.
- And the visa?
- The visa is decided by the embassy, so it is the one step nobody can promise, and you should walk away from anyone who does. We prepare you for it: the document checklist for your country of study, proof of funds, the acceptance letter, mock interviews, and a check of your file before you submit. The visa application is yours, and we never lodge it in your name.
- What does Pathways cost my family?
- Nothing. Our partner schools pay us when a student enrols. What your family pays goes to third parties: the school's deposit and tuition, an English test, the visa fee and any proof-of-funds requirement.
- Does the school's fee change which programme you recommend?
- No. The shortlist is ordered by fit to the student first, then by cost to the family, and that rule is printed on every plan.
- What if my budget does not reach any destination?
- The plan says so before any application fee, and points to what the same money buys at home, including the Academy's career courses. A family that cannot fund abroad is not a lost lead to us.
- How do I reach a person?
- Write to pathway@schoolregistrykenya.com. After you submit a plan, a counsellor contacts you within one working day on the number and email you gave.
