Finding the right school for a child takes more than a look at the rankings. It takes personal knowledge of the schools, a sense of what a child needs and years of experience. We guide the entire process, from a carefully considered selection made from 200 British boarding schools through the application and subject choices to personal support throughout the school stay and the return to Germany.
200 partner schools
There are league tables, open days and glossy prospectuses. None of them tell you what the boarding house feels like at nine on a Tuesday evening, or how the head of sixth form handles a student who is struggling. We know those things because we have spent thirty years finding out. Our relationships with school Heads, academic staff and admissions teams are working relationships, built on trust, that open doors for our families.
British Schools Fair
16 October, Munich.
One term, one year or longer — meet British boarding schools in person.
Fluent English, friendships that last a lifetime and a love of learning. If you're considering UK Boarding, come and speak directly with Heads of school and admissions from eight of our partner schools on 16 October.
Barnard Castle School, Clifton College, Culford School, Oswestry School, Sherborne Boys and Sherborne Girls, Shrewsbury School, St Peter's School, Wellington School
We see ourselves as your companion in the process.
What our support covers
- Free initial consultation: we start by getting to know your child and what your family is looking for.
- School selection: we recommend four or five schools that genuinely fit, not a long list to work through alone.
- Admissions: our relationships with the schools simplify the process and open doors that are not always open.
- Subject choices: we advise on A-Levels and the IB with a clear eye on university entry in Germany or abroad.
- Throughout the school stay: we're always there at the other end of the phone. You can always speak to someone who knows your child's situation.
Our consultation days
We offer in-person consultations monday to friday in Munich, or online. Weekend appointments are available in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Wiesbaden and Munich. Here are our upcoming dates:
Your point of contact for as long as your child is abroad
Most consultancies end at the school gate. The application is complete, the place is confirmed, and you are on your own. We work differently. Finding the right school is the beginning of what we do, not the conclusion. We are there for the questions that come up during the term, for the academic difficulties nobody predicted, for the things that are hard to sort out from home. When something needs to be addressed, we speak directly to the people who can actually do something about it.
What our partner schools say
Relationships with schools are easy to claim and harder to earn. Ours have been built over decades. Here, some of the heads and admissions staff we work with talk about what that means:
Denstone College, Dover College, Earlscliffe, Gresham's School, Mount Kelly, Oswestry, St Clare's Oxford, St Edmund's School, St Leonards School, Tettenhall College, Warminster School, Winchester College und Worth School.
