Most independent schools require children from overseas to have an educational guardian resident in the UK who will accept responsibility and provide accommodation during half-terms, exeats and school holidays and any other time that accommodation is required.

For overseas parents with nobody in this country able to take on such responsibilities properly, finding a suitable host family, administering health, financial, visa and travel arrangements for their child and supervising their academic progress can all be very complicated and not without risk. We have been looking after overseas students for over 20 years and we know exactly how to help professionally and promptly.
