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.

A Promising Start: Our First Glasmacher Career Day

This weekend, under sunny skies and with around one hundred guests in attendance, we hosted our very first Career Day – and were thrilled by the inspiring conversations with so many engaged families.

What comes after school?
To help answer this question, our key partners in academic counselling, personal development and Gap Year planning joined us in Munich. Through individual conversations and hands-on advice, they offered valuable guidance and shared practical next steps. In three themed panels, they outlined ways young people can navigate their path with clarity, confidence and a sense of purpose.

Panel 1 – Study & Career Choices in the Age of AI
Struss & Claussen and mjndset explored how AI is reshaping the skillsets required for university and work. Future-oriented competencies such as creative problem-solving, resilience and emotional intelligence are becoming increasingly essential. Citing current programme offerings– for example at TU Munich – they showed how universities are already responding and integrating new formats to support skill development.

Panel 2 – A Gap Year as a Catalyst for Personal Growth
St. Clare’s Oxford demonstrated how young people can gain direction and confidence through academic Gap Year programmes combined with expert career guidance.
Explorientation highlighted how a clearly defined personal goal can form the foundation for a fully tailored Gap Year – as an individual learning journey with academic, hands-on and personal elements.
wayers showcased how international experiences – from wildlife conservation in Asia to work and travel in Australia – can strengthen adaptability and broaden perspectives in lasting ways.

Panel 3 – Studying Abroad: A Compact Overview
The University Guys spoke about the importance of finding a university that fits not only your academic interests but also your personality and vision for life – and how an authentic application can truly make a difference.
StudiMed encouraged students to think beyond borders: studying medicine in Europe is possible even without top grades – with the right preparation for entrance exams and reliable on-site support.

You’ll find an overview of all partner organisations here.

Enabling Education. Embracing Responsibility.

As an education-focused company, we see every day how access to excellent learning opportunities can shape lives. But not all young people are given the same chances. That’s why, again this year, we are supporting four nonprofit organisations whose work we know, value and trust – each of them committed to improving education and strengthening social inclusion in their own way.

New this year: Studopolis – an initiative that brings young people into political dialogue during the 2025 election year. Travelling across Germany by bus, hosting local events and listening to the voices of youth – to us, this is a powerful statement in support of democratic education.

We continue to support:

  • 21future – with learning journeys focused on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and personality development for socially disadvantaged youth.
  • Stiftung Startchance – with individual learning support for children from underprivileged educational backgrounds.
  • Apropolis– with democracy workshops that empower young people to actively shape society.

 

Our commitment reflects a simple belief: education has the greatest impact when it reaches as many people as possible.

We offer comprehensive guidance on British boarding schools

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.

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."
