UK boarding schools offer a world-class education for children and teenagers as well as the chance to follow their passion for learning and gain
qualifications that are recognised and respected by universities worldwide. There are approximately 500 boarding schools across the United Kingdom.
Over 28,910 children and teenagers from around the world came to the UK to study at a boarding school last year, sharing international experience
and making friends with the local pupils.
UK boarding schools offer you an outstanding education, helping you to develop your skills and progress to university. All UK boarding schools
have to meet strict government standards on the quality of their teaching, facilities and student care. Many UK boarding schools combine beautiful,
centuries - old buildings with a mix of modern classrooms and traditional architecture. The excellent facilities help make living and learning a great
experience and you will improve your English skills while you study.
UK boarding schools teach a mix of international pupils and local UK pupils. ‘Boarders’ are pupils who live at the school. ‘Day pupils’ live with their
families and return home at the end of the school day. This mix helps to create a good social atmosphere. Besides the academic excellence, you will
find a wide range extracurriculars; music, drama, art, and sport, encouraging the pupils to try things they have never done. This will help them to be
well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills they need in the fast-paced world.

I hope you will enjoy your life-changing experience in a UK boarding school.
