Find your school

So, how to go about it?

Choosing the right boarding school takes more than gut instinct. We apply clear, well-defined criteria to find this out for our families. Below, we share some of the key questions we ask our families.

Trust your gut!

The importance of visiting boarding schools

Visiting a boarding school is the best way to get a real sense of what it’s like. In just two hours, you’ll learn a great deal about the school’s ethos, meet houseparents, teachers, and pupils, and experience the atmosphere first-hand – invaluable insights no brochure can provide.

Seeing three or four schools gives families a valuable basis for comparison and, just as importantly, helps develop that gut feeling about where a child will feel most at home.

At von Bülow Education, we arrange the appointments and help you with the travel logistics, so you can focus entirely on the visits.
