Boarding Schools

Every year thousands of international pupils live across approximately 500 UK boarding schools. They come to experience top-quality teaching and outstanding facilities, with small class sizes and extra-curricular learning.

For many pupils, it’s the adventure of a lifetime and an exceptional learning experience that gives them a head start in their adult life. 

UK boarding schools provide students with exceptional education, fostering skill development and paving the way for university admission. These schools adhere to stringent government regulations concerning teaching quality, facilities, and student well-being.

The majority of UK boarding schools have a diverse student body, consisting of both international and local UK students. "Boarders" are students who reside at the school, while "day pupils" live with their families and commute to and from school daily. This diverse mix contributes positively to the school's social environment.
