Wants independence
Wants to decide for themselves and pushes back on control. Boarding gives freedom within a frame: a timetable, a tutor, rules without parents.
Boarding abroad - from $30K a year including accommodation. We match the school to your child's character and goals, not to a ranking.

4 types of children who get more from it than from a school at home. Find yours.
Wants to decide for themselves and pushes back on control. Boarding gives freedom within a frame: a timetable, a tutor, rules without parents.
Bored in class, English above their grade. Needs a place where working hard is normal, not something to hide.
Oxford, LSE and Imperial admit after A-Levels or IB. From a Kazakh school the route goes through a Foundation year and a lost year.
At a boarding school, training, music and olympiads are built into the day, not squeezed in at 8 pm after classes.

The top 10 take strong students and do not help the rest. A child in a school that fits them gets into a better university than one in a school with a big name.
A quiet child does well in a school of 300, a leader needs 1,200. No school is right for every child.
£45K a year does not mean better than £30K. Expensive schools often sell a location, not results. Ask where their graduates went.
With IELTS 5.0 your child will be admitted but will lose the first year on the language. A year of preparation at home costs less than a year lost there.
First the university you are aiming for. Then the country and the school that lead there. Not the other way round.
Choosing a school starts with your child's goals, not with the school.
All schools are iBridge partners. Fees are as published by each school for the academic year, in the school's currency.
We look at your child's goals and character and draw up a shortlist of 3-5 schools with real fees.
We prepare for the entrance tests in English and maths and for the school interview.
We put the application together: forms, references, school reports, personal statement, on each school's timeline.
We receive the offer of a place, help you compare terms and secure the place for your child.
Guardian, flights, uniform, packing list. We stay in touch with the family during the first weeks at school.
