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.

Jonathan Anderson Appointed as New Headmaster of Campbell College – A Plea for All Boys' Schools

Jonathan Anderson, currently headmaster of Merchiston Castle School in Edinburgh, will take over as headmaster of Campbell College in September 2025. With this change, he continues the tradition of all boys' schools and underlines the special strengths and advantages of this type of school.

All boys' schools offer a special learning environment that specifically addresses the needs and strengths of boys. The teaching methods and daily structures are designed to promote their specific learning patterns, particularly in areas such as mathematics, natural sciences and technology. At the same time, boys are given the opportunity to freely pursue their interests and develop their personalities in a protected environment, without the social pressure sometimes present when having to prove themselves in front of girls. Whether academic, artistic or athletic – boys' schools create an environment in which boys can fully develop their potential. For some students, they are just the right type of school.

While Merchiston Castle is known for its great successes in tennis and golf, Campbell College in the east of the Northern Irish capital Belfast stands for excellent achievements in rugby, football, hockey and volleyball.

Jonathan Anderson has over two decades of experience at renowned schools, including Worksop College and Christ's Hospital School. Regarding his appointment, he commented: ‘I am excited to build on the outstanding work of Robert Robinson and look forward to working with the staff, students and wider Campbell community to shape the next chapter in the School's history.’
