A strong history of supporting international students and parents

“Academic Families understood our needs. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to match my daughter with schools based on subjects she likes and wants to pursue. Throughout the process, we got real-time support. The service was professional and personalised. Academic Families gave us peace of mind and they handled most of the things that I would have had to do. That help was priceless.”

Pauline, mother of Iman, age 16 – from Kenya – studying at Harrogate Ladies’ College

“The ethos of Academic Families - that the school should meet the needs, strengths and values of the child and not the other way around - was aptly manifested by Roni throughout our application process. The children have secured places in their schools of preference. We are grateful and will certainly recommend Academic Families to anyone who would require exemplary services in identifying schools in the UK.”

Joseph, father of Joshua and Josepha, age 17 – from Uganda – studying at Ellesmere College and Wells Cathedral School

“The service provided by Academic Families has been faultless over the period that my daughter was in the United Kingdom attending school to complete her A levels. Academic Families were extremely helpful in assisting me to find a school, setting up visits to various schools around the country and throughout the application process. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking to place their child in education in the United Kingdom."

Saleem, mother of Tandia, age 15 – from Kenya – studying at Box Hill School
