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.

Choosing the right school for a stay in the UK can be a significant challenge. It’s not just about finding a school with the right academic, athletic, and artistic programs—it’s also about considering the school's ethos, values, size, and location.

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.
