Academic Families provides UK-wide care and support for international students who are studying at boarding schools and universities, whether it be for a few weeks or a few years.
You can think of Academic Families as the UK-based link between you, your students and their parents, your student's boarding school and their staff, and the host families students stay with during school breaks and holidays.
Our extensive experience and personalised service has made Academic Families the preferred guardianship provider for hundreds of international students at UK boarding schools.
Fully accredited by both AEGIS and the British Boarding School Association (BSA), we support international students throughout their time at UK boarding schools.
At Academic Families, we deal with all kinds of problems every day. But we don’t just deal with them. We fix them!
The Academic Families Guardianship programme fully supports your students with all the local support they require during term time. And, for those times when a student can't go home, we also offer escorted group trips.
We work with schools throughout Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and we have host families throughout the UK too.
If a child needs a place to stay for a night or two during mini school breaks, our host families are ready to welcome them with open arms. And if a child wants to stay for longer holidays, it's never a problem.
