What Is Educational Guardianship?

Educational guardianship is professional, continuing care and support for international students studying in the United Kingdom.

A trusted guardian takes on that responsibility for the duration of a student’s studies, helping to safeguard their safety, wellbeing and daily life when parents cannot be by their side, and providing the support they need with their learning, their communication with school, and any unexpected situation that arises.

Our aim is to give children far from home a source of reassurance and support — and to let parents, thousands of miles away, accompany their child’s growth with an easier mind.

Most British boarding schools require — and all strongly recommend — that every international student has a UK-based guardian.
