Boarding School - a model for success Why international pupils are so happy at British boarding schools

Oakham School Psychology Class
  • Whether highly academic or needing special support of some kind - a good boarding school supports each child according to his or her individual requirements.
  • Teachers have a different standing in Britain and are much more motivated and committed.
  • Small classes make it possible to teach the subject matter in a clear and interesting way. Learning is suddenly fun.
  • A huge range of sports, art, music  and other activities are offered outside of the classroom. It's cool to get involved. 
  • Being away from home for some time stimulates the ability see the bigger picture and to think and act independently.
  • Last but not least, English is learnt more or less in passing.

Together with our two experienced guests, we will discuss how students can best prepare for their final exams and what is important to keep in mind when applying to universities in Germany.

Simone Lorenz-Weir from Oakham School teaches German and served for many years as her school’s IB Coordinator, giving her firsthand insight into the challenges and opportunities of both programmes. Joining her is Nic Bamberger, founder of the tutoring platform IB Doctor, who achieved a perfect IB score of 45 points and now supports students in preparing for their final exams.

In cdiscussion with Theresa Glasmacher, they will speak about what students can still do in their final year (Year 13) to achieve the best possible results in their exams. The discussion will also cover university applications with A-Levels and the IB, as well as strategies for structured and stress-free exam preparation. Our guests will share insights into what truly matters during the final year and offer practical advice from both teacher and tutor perspectives.

Our goal is to understand your child's aspirations, strengths, and interests in order to identify schools that are the best match for them.

But our service doesn’t stop at placement. We continue to be your point of contact for everything from visas, travel arrangements, and pocket money to school uniforms and other practical matters. We're here to support you and your child throughout their entire stay.

What our students say: „The teachers were amazing. They were so interested in their subject und you could always go to them for advice. They knew everything and the lessons were always really lively."
