What is guardianship?
International students attending boarding schools in the UK are required to have a designated guardian who is at least 25 years old and resides in the UK. The school is responsible for the students’ welfare during term time, while the guardian takes over during school breaks—such as half-term holidays, public holidays, or times when the student is unwell.
Studying abroad is a significant learning experience and life adventure for your child. A "guardian" serves as a representative of the parents, providing care, reassurance, and a sense of security. They offer support to ensure that the student can learn effectively, enjoy life in a foreign country, gain confidence, and fully pursue their future dreams.
We have over 10 years of experience in caring for Thai students under the age of 18 who come to study in the UK, from Year 9 through to university level. Acting as a guardian on behalf of parents, we provide comprehensive support in all aspects—academic guidance, health and wellbeing, creative activities based on individual talents, domestic and international travel, visa documentation, and emotional support tailored to teenage needs. Our Premium Guardianship service goes beyond simple pickup and drop-off. We act as an efficient, responsive, and detail-oriented liaison between parents, schools, and students. Our aim is to ensure the highest level of safety, comfort, and satisfaction for both students and parents, while delivering the best possible educational and life experience abroad.
