Our Schools

von bulow

110 schools. One perfect fit for your child.

We partner only with schools we truly believe in — that's currently 110 of Britain’s best. We visit them often, know their strengths inside out, and stay close to how 'our pupils' are thriving there.

Places of Possibility

British boarding schools truly have it all. World-class teachers. Cutting-edge facilities. Caring house parents. And exceptional programmes in sport, music and drama.

But what we at von Bülow Education love most are the countless opportunities for discovery and growth. A chance room-share that turns into a lifelong friendship. A Thursday afternoon activity that sparks an unexpected passion for beekeeping. An engineering project that inspires a future in robotics.

Or simply the moment a pupil does something they never thought they could. That is what makes these schools so special.

We call our partner schools Places of Possibility – because time and again, that’s exactly what they are.

Come take a closer look.

Finding the right school

With over 500 boarding schools in Great Britain - and 110 in our portfolio - it’s no surprise that choosing only  one can feel like an impossible task to most families.

This is where von Bülow Education comes in.

  1. We take you from wish-list to visit:  In a focused consultation, we uncover what truly matters, handpick 3–5 outstanding schools, and arrange visits  so you can experience them first-hand.
  2. We set you up for success: To get admitted to your first choice school, we will conduct mock-interviews  and provide preparation materials. If needed we get a tutor involved. Whatever it takes. 
  3. We help with what comes after: If it's preparing the stay or assisting during it, we will be there for you and your child.

Admissions & Timing

Why good prep and timing are everything

Most British boarding schools are selective. At the very least, they’ll want to get to know your child to assess both personal fit and support needs. Sometimes they do this through interviews or entrance exams.

At von Bülow Education, we know every school’s admissions process inside out. We’ll prepare your child to shine and ensure you never miss an application deadline.

Established relationships

30 years that open doors

For over three decades we’ve matched pupils with the very best British boarding schools — from world-famous names like Sevenoaks School, Brighton College, and Winchester School to hidden gems like Gresham’s School and Sedbergh School.

Schools know and trust us, often working with us exclusively. When we recommend a pupil, they listen. And psst – in exceptional cases, we've even been known to open doors where none seemed to exist.

Shorter Stays

Not quite ready for a proper boarding school stay yet?

Fear not. We have shorter language- and cultural immersion programmes on offer also. Our summer camps are the best way to dip your toe into the experience before you commit to a longer stay.
