What is the best age to start boarding school?
SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT
UK Boarding schools take international boarders from the age of 11 to 18, the best period to start a boarding school depends on the student’s academic nature and the parent’s education planning for their children. We often encountered families with different concerns, and each family has their family consideration. Therefore, when to send a child to a UK boarding school cannot be generalized.

Planning as early as possible is highly recommended. Parents are advised to discuss and plan their children for overseas education from 18 months to earliest 42 months ahead, preparing for the entrance exam, and choosing the most suitable school for their children. During the process of planning and selection of schools, we understand that it is not an easy task.
