About Me

Daniel Szeto is the Founder and Head of Sesameed Education. Prior to Sesameed, he was the Founder & Head of Foundation Global Education, a leading education consultancy specializing in boarding school and university admission consulting in Greater China. Throughout his 22-year tenure, he guided over 1,000 families on their journeys to find the best overseas boarding schools and universities for their children’s needs.

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Daniel first came in contact with boarding education when his parents sent him to The Webb Schools, an independent senior boarding school in California. He went on to complete his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in engineering from Cornell University before working in management consulting and financial services in Asia for a decade. In 2001, inspired by his boarding school experiences, Daniel cofounded Foundation Programs, which later pivoted into Foundation Global Education in 2009. (See Our Story.) Over the following 14 years, Daniel led Foundation to become the largest non-mainland-based boarding school consultancy in China. In 2023, Daniel stepped down at Foundation to start up Sesameed.

Daniel has sent three of his children to boarding schools. Hannah began her Year 7 at Benenden School (England) and completed her final three years of high school at King’s Academy (Jordan). Gabriel began his Year 5 at Ludgrove School (England) and moved on to Winchester College (England) for his senior school. Faith is currently attending Benenden and has been there since Year 7. Daniel himself is currently serving as a trustee at King’s Academy.

Daniel resides in Singapore but travels frequently to boarding schools
