Accredited Guardianship

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!

Host Families

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.
