The Application Process

Please contact us by phone, email or by completing the online Application form.

We arrange a 60 minute video call to „meet” and to understand the family’s expectations and plans. Based on this we will outline what school options are available and will discuss the most important questions, such as the planned travel date/duration of study in the UK and the key aspects for selecting the right school for your child. We will address the personal preferences of the family, the child’s hobbies, favourite subjects and sports. We will tell you about life at a boarding school and describe what a typical boarder’s day looks like and what activities are available at weekends. We will talk through the travel details and – importantly – will address how the trip can be fitted in your child’s normal school year. We will discuss fees and typical payment schedules. This consultation with your family is free and does not oblige you to any further steps.

In order to prepare the student’s application, we will need certain documents from you, including a completed application form, copies of recent school reports and a short English language introduction by the student.

Based on the above we will compile a list of 4-6 schools, from the more than 200 we work with, selected to meet the specific criteria to best suit your child. While sharing the schools’ details with you, we will contact the schools and introduce your child to them in the format required by the schools.

Over the past 25 years in working with the schools we have gained a good understanding of what type of awards are available at any given time. We will tell you of any possibilities and will work with the schools to see if your child may benefit from these options.

Based on your selection we will organise video interviews typicall with 3 schools, or more if you wish. The interviews will be attended by your child and either or both parents and provide a super opportunity to meet the school representatives or Head and ask any questions you like. Some families choose to visit the schools in person, for this we will arrange your personal visitation appointments.
Our consultation fee of 250 euros will be payable once you have completed your rounds of interviews.

Following all interviews and clearing up all questions it is time to decide between the places offered. If the family would like, we can help you in finalising the decision. Please note that we are not affiliated with any one school, our advice is fully objective with only your child’s interest in mind. Until you sign the Letter of Acceptance with any one school you are under no obligation to proceed and can halt the application process at any point.

To secure your child’s place you will need to complete the paperwork for the school and transfer a deposit directly to the school. The tuition fee is due prior to the start date, also payable directly to the school.
