Educational Guardianship
What Is Educational Guardianship?
Educational guardianship is the professional care and support provided to international students studying in the UK, whereby a trusted adult acts on behalf of parents to safeguard the student’s safety, wellbeing and smooth adjustment to school and life abroad.
Most British boarding schools require — and all strongly recommend — that every international student has a UK-based guardian.
