We are specialists in British boarding schools
Welcome!
We are von Bülow Education
For over 30 years we have been guiding families to the right British boarding schools. As the only German-speaking consultancy based in the UK, we combine intercultural understanding, insider knowledge and empathy to find the Perfect Fit for your child.
Why British boarding schools?
We only work with British boarding schools. That's because they are the best in the world. Here's why we believe this.

Our Schools
Thoughtfully selected
Our Schools
Thoughtfully selected
We work only with boarding schools we know and trust – the kind we’d choose for our own children.
That is currently a selection of 110 schools.
All of them combine academic prowess with a rich extracurricular offer, a warm school community, and a proper home for boarders throughout the week and weekends.

Why families trust us
Our Promise
Guidance as thoughtful as if it were for our own children

Guidance as thoughtful as if it were for our own children
Choosing the right school is a big decision. That’s why we guide you with care, empathy, and honesty – even if that means saying boarding school isn’t the right path for your child. Whatever the outcome, we stay by your side until we find the school that truly fits.
That’s our promise to you.

Our Founders
A family's success story
Our Founders
A family's success story
What began as a small family drama over 30 years ago is now one of Europe's leading educational consultancies. Had her son Alexander's grades not been a cause for concern, Alexandra von Bülow might never have looked for alternative schools. She found them in England – and saw firsthand how a British boarding school can transform a child.
Inspired by her own search for the right school, she decided to start her own company. As such she was a pioneer in UK boarding school advisory. Today, her son Ferdinand runs the business. Together, they have guided thousands of families in finding the right boarding school.
