More than schools

Anything else?

Being headquartered in Great Britain comes with advantages. One of them is knowing things that will make your and your child's life during the boarding school stay more comfortable.

This could be a practical service like a chauffeur to drive you when you visit schools. But it could also be the finer details like a restaurant booking or tickets to a London musical.

With our trusted network of partners, we create a tailor-made, seamless service – making your family’s stay in the UK smooth, entertaining and worry-free.

Tuition

Sharpen the English!

Unsurprisingly, all British boarding schools expect a minimum level of English language ability. The top schools expect a lot more. 

We work with tutors that can help with targeted preparation. That includes English, but also other academic subjects from maths to history. We know that a few weeks of focussed online-tution can make all the difference.

Taking care of what you don’t want to

You'll inevitably discover that some elements of this process are time-consuming and downright annoying. At von Bülow Education we can take of these off your plate, or know people that can.

Travel logistics

Coming to visit boarding schools before you commit? We strongly advise against using public transport as trains are unreliable and schools often located off the beaten track.

 

Rental cars exist of course. But we know, driving on the left side isn't everyone's cup of tea. We can help organise a driver.

Visa organisation

Planning a boarding school stay longer than six months? Then you'll need to organise a child visa. The application process is relatively straight-forward, but bureaucratic.

 

Our visa agency will be happy to help if you need it.

Guardianship service

For families who need a UK-based guardian, we offer a trusted in-house guardianship service.

 

This means you and your child have a reliable point of contact nearby—someone who knows your family, understands the school system, and can step in quickly if needed. 

Entertainment

That little extra

Planning to visit your child in Great Britain? Want to spend some quality time together? Maybe you need a restaurant reservation or even theatre tickets in London?  Or the perfect recommendation for a hotel in the Cotswolds?

Over the years we have accumulated a treasure trove of insider recommendations for anything from local restaurants to lovely B&Bs. We are happy to share our tips with you, or even book things for you.
