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.

Our Commitment for Equal Opportunities: Support on bcause

Education opens doors and creates more equal opportunities – a principle that has guided us for over 25 years in placing students at British boarding schools. We see every day how access to good education develops talents and changes lives. But not all children have the same opportunities. That is why we are involved in bcause, a platform that connects donors and social projects to enable sustainable support.

With bcause, we are currently supporting four initiatives that we know personally and consider to be very valuable. Their projects help children and young people to overcome barriers and discover their potential:

  • 21future: Learning journeys about the UN Sustainable Development Goals for socially disadvantaged young people.
  • Stiftung Startchance: Individual support for students from disadvantaged families.
  • Apropolis: Democracy workshops that empower young people to actively shape our society.
  • coach@school e.V.: Promoting reading skills with the ‘book suitcase’ programme.

We know from our work that education is much more than just knowledge – it also means self-confidence, prospects and social participation. Our involvement in bcause is our contribution to opening up these opportunities to more children and young people.
