Find the perfect UK boarding school
The prospect of sending a child to school in the UK from overseas is extremely exciting, but there are inevitable complexities in selecting the right school. The choice is vast, the possibilities endless, and for your son or daughter to thrive in their chosen school – much will depend on selection you make.
Mark Brooks and his team hold extensive knowledge of many UK boarding schools and the unique characteristics of each one. From the initial enquiry we work hard to get to know your family and to understand your child. On this basis, we will draw up a short list of the best fit schools and make introductions on your behalf. We remain on hand throughout the registration process to guide you through the acceptance stage and introduce you to entrance exam, interview and visa specialists if required.
