British boarding schools in the UK for international students have an excellent reputation for delivering excellence in education. Their educational focus is not just on academic excellence, but on offering children diverse opportunities to develop their capabilities in Sport, Music, Art and Design, or The Arts. The supportive full-boarding environment encourages and develops many important career and life skills, such as leadership and independence. It is important that you choose a school which has a seven day a week programme without too many weekly or flexi-boarders.
Our expert team of international education consultants can help you navigate the UK education system with advice personalised for you and your family. Get in touch today.
Researching your school options via websites can be a confusing process, especially if English is not your first language or you are not familiar with the UK education system or the UK curriculum and hence the right ages to move school. Each boarding school has its own registration, admissions process and application deadlines which can be tricky to manage, especially when you are miles away in a different time-zone.

What do our education consultancy services cost?
In our experience, the individual needs of parents living overseas can be very different depending on the area of education in which they need support and guidance. Living overseas can make it difficult to undertake all the research involved in making education decisions such as choosing a boarding school in the UK, which often means there is a requirement for greater input from our consultant, sometimes over a few months.
For this reason, we prefer to tailor-make a package to suit your individual needs. We do this by first discussing your needs and wishes with you, either by email or over the phone, so that we can then give you an idea of cost for our services, once we have got to know you and your family situation a little better.
Please get in touch with us by phone or email to discuss your individual needs and we will be very happy to suggest the best way in which our consultants can advise and support you, as well as the related costs.
