Meet with 9 of the best UK boarding schools

We've carefully selected a range of UK boarding schools that are known for providing excellent student care and producing some of the finest school leavers in the UK. Their students go on to achieve academic success at prestigious universities around the world.

Each of the attending schools is visiting Africa specifically for this event.

They are particularly interested in meeting with Ugandan families and continuing to strengthen their links with East African students.

Academic Families have handpicked these schools to give Expo attendees a strong variety of institutions such as:

Specialisms in sports, music, STEM, art and design
Single sex and co-ed learning environments
Religious affiliations
City, countryside and town locations across the UK

Why is Academic Families so well suited to support you?

Tap into our education expertise and global network
We understand how important it is to find the best boarding school for your child. We regularly meet with pupils and parents as well as school admissions staff. We understand what they are looking for when they evaluate student applications.

Thanks to our personal connections and experience with hundreds of schools in the UK as well as some of the best in Europe and North America, we can expertly guide you through the boarding school admissions process to ensure your child enrols in their dream school where they can happily thrive.

We match schools to your child
We work on behalf of families and students. Unlike many international student recruitment agencies, we don’t represent certain schools. Instead, Academic Families has rich knowledge and experience with a huge variety of boarding schools and we match the schools to your child based on a variety of factors.

We offer both admissions and guardianship support
We can support you and your child from your initial interest until their last day at school. Academic Families has 10 years of experience looking after international students from over 40 countries.

We’re a friendly team and have lived or travelled extensively outside the UK, including 37 years of living in Kenya, so you can rely on our excellent understanding of East African students as well as our international outlook and experience. Many of our staff are also mothers who have sent their own children to study abroad, so have a personal understanding of this experience.

Quality you can trust
We’re highly respected by families and schools, and have been awarded the highest gold standard accreditation from AEGIS (Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students) and the Boarding Schools’ Association. We are recognised by the British Council, English UK and Youth Mental Health First Aid for our professionalism, expertise, in-depth knowledge and experience of the UK education system. We are also certified Safe Recruiters, so our team and host families are all recruited according to strict safeguarding guidelines.
