We work with more than 450 schools throughout the UK and support you by identifying matched students who will succeed in your school and also by providing AEGIS and Boarding School Association accredited guardianship for international students.
You may also want to come with us to some emerging markets and attend our in-country education fairs.
Our team's experience in emerging markets introduces us to many overseas international schools, some of which would like us to organise a UK cultural school group visit including a short stay in a British boarding school. We are always looking for schools with boarding capacity to host these groups. The level of integration varies by school, however, our UK partner schools recognise the opportunity to convert visitors to students.
Academic Families can:
Contact our team to let us know about your available capacity if you would like to be included in future group visits.
Academic Families have always been friendly and efficient - very easy to work with.

Academic Families has personal and professional experience with boarding schools. Many of our staff attended boarding schools themselves when they were young or have worked in them. We have all lived overseas and most of us are mothers, so we understand how important it is to find the very best education for every child no matter where that might be in the world.
From our headquarters in Edinburgh to our local staff across the UK, our team regularly visits hundreds of British schools. Our excellent knowledge of the UK education system, accreditation by the Boarding School Association (BSA) and certification from the British Council means we understand UK boarding education from the inside and out, and know how to ensure the best education for each child.
In addition, our guardianship service has been Gold accredited by AEGIS (the Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students) since 2016 and also by the BSA, so you know, with Academic Families, you're guaranteed to have the best local support anywhere in the UK.
Moreover, our team are trained MHFA Mental Health First Aiders so we are qualified to support our students with any wellbeing and mental health concerns.
