Under British law, overseas pupils who are under 18 years of age attending independent boarding schools must have a legal guardian. British boarding schools require all underage overseas pupils to have an adult guardian aged 25 or over in the UK. This is also a current requirement of the UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) for student visas.
When young foreign pupils, full of dreams, come to the other side of the world to pursue knowledge, how to resolve the problem of living in a foreign country has always been the most daunting task for them. Quite often the studies of many international pupils have been affected by the trivialities of daily lives. Challenges such as Language barriers, lack of independent living skills, a completely different environment, unfamiliarity with local laws and regulations, customs and cultures all contribute to a negative impact on their lives of studying abroad.

Our range of guardianship services allow children to feel the warmth of a family abroad and to enable parents to feel that they are always connected with their children.
