OUR STORY

Dr. Cyrus Golding, Founder and Director

Cyrus spent over a decade as a teacher, working with hundreds of families in Europe and Asia, and leading the top UK independent schools. He most recently led the academic set-up of a top independent school in Vietnam.

Throughout this time, Cyrus recognised a clear need for bespoke support and guidance for both schools and families.

For schools, that meant helping leaders navigate the regulatory and operational complexity of delivering world-class schooling in these rapidly growing educational markets.

For families in Asia aspiring for academic excellence, including Oxbridge, it meant helping them find the best education for their child. Plus, supporting them to prepare for a school that fits their needs.

Golding Education was created to do just that.

Cyrus’s contributions to education have been recognised by awards from the Royal Geographical Society and Ordnance Survey. He holds a PhD, MSc and BA from the University of Oxford in geography and the environment, and a PGCE from the University of Cambridge. He has published widely on themes related to education and sustainability.
