About Dr. Allen
An active Head of School,
not a retired advisor.
Dubolino Education Advisory is led by Dr. Allen A. Dubolino, Ph.D., a practicing Head of School with 22 years of international education leadership across Japan and Thailand. Most consultants left the classroom years ago. Dr. Allen is inside international schools every day, which means families get real-time admissions knowledge rather than advice that expired two admissions cycles ago.
He has served as Head of School and co-founder of multiple international schools in Japan and Thailand, held senior leadership roles at a Singaporean international school, and advised some of the largest educational corporations in Asia. His focus: competitive international school admissions in Tokyo and Bangkok, bespoke homeschool curriculum design, and helping schools build the systems that make them exceptional.

Explore the CodexWhy Dubolino
Most advisors tell you what the admissions committee wants.Dr. Allen is the admissions committee.
He has designed the admissions criteria that selective international schools use to evaluate your child and your family. He has written the interview rubrics. He has sat in the room where decisions are made.
And he has made them.
For families navigating competitive international school admissions in Japan, Thailand, or Southeast Asia, that is the difference between a rejection and an acceptance letter.

日本のご家族へ / For Japanese Families Applying to International Schools
The international school parent interview is in English. We make sure Japanese families are ready for it.
Tokyo's international school admissions process is among the most competitive in Asia. With fewer than 30 genuinely selective international schools serving a metropolitan area of over 14 million people, unprepared families face real rejection risk.
Dubolino Education Advisory offers Japanese families a complete Japan Pathway: a bilingual coordinator who manages your engagement entirely in Japanese, structured Parent English Interview Preparation, and Dr. Allen's insider coaching based on the actual rubrics Tokyo admissions committees use.
The Japan Pathway
A complete support system for Japanese families applying to international schools in Japan.
Bilingual support in Japanese
Your dedicated bilingual coordinator manages all communication, documents, and school engagement entirely in Japanese.
Parent English interview preparation
Structured coaching to help you communicate your family's story, values, and goals with confidence and clarity in English.
Insider coaching from Dr. Allen
Dr. Allen has worked inside Tokyo's top international schools and knows the exact rubrics and standards admissions committees use to evaluate families.
Proven strategies. Real results.
Our Japan Pathway is built for one goal: helping your family stand out — and get the acceptance letter.
In their own words
Families who trusted the process. Children who got in.
Dr. Allen stood out for his deep understanding of international school admissions and his ability to provide clear, thoughtful, and highly personalized guidance. We truly believe that his guidance and dedication played an important role in making it possible.
Dr. Allen's patience, expertise, compassion, and thoughtful approach made a meaningful impact on our daughter's educational experience. We would confidently recommend him to any family seeking a caring and highly capable educational leader.
