We hosted a range of webinars this year focusing on British school qualifications, subject guidance, visa application, and university applications, to name a few.
These events were designed for families whose children are already attending a British school, planning a stay, or simply interested in learning more about the school qualifications "A-Levels" and "IB-Diploma". We recorded all of the webinars and you can find links to the recordings on the events page.

As school nears its end, many families are starting a new kind of conversation: what happens now? University, or perhaps a break first? In our upcoming webinar, we'll be talking to two experienced experts about how families can navigate this transition together.
Our guests are Stephanie Reschke from Explorientation and Petra Ruthven-Murray from planZ Studienberatung. Both have spent years guiding young people and parents through university choices and charting individual paths after school.
In conversation with Theresa Glasmacher, they'll share advice on how families can reach good decisions together, which first steps make sense when applying to university, and why a well-planned gap year can be worthwhile – not just personally, but often academically and professionally as well.
The webinar takes place on Wednesday, 12 November 2025, at 6pm.
Coming up: The second part of our "After Graduation" webinar series – "Future Skills & Shaping Your Path" – takes place on 26 November 2025 at 6pm.

It's wonderful to see the journey our student Ruth has taken: She came to Oakham School through us at the start of Sixth Form – and made the most of every opportunity there.
This summer, she completed her International Baccalaureate with an outstanding 43 out of 45 points – and is now taking her next step towards studying medicine. She's using her current gap year to gain practical experience in hospitals in Germany, Austria, and Africa.
At Oakham School, Ruth experienced boarding life in all its breadth: She competed in cross country and was awarded Sports Colours, sang in the school choir, and performed in the Gala Concert. Particularly formative was a service project in Kenya, which she completed as part of the IB programme CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). There, she helped build classrooms and led activities at a local primary school – an experience that significantly strengthened her desire to study medicine.
Ruth herself describes her time in Kenya as "the highlight of my time at Oakham". During her gap year, she now hopes to work as a volunteer in a Kenyan hospital.
We're delighted about her positive development and wish her all the best for the years ahead!
