UK guardianships
for international students
A boutique family company
I’m Mark London, the founder of London Education Guardians. My wife Anastasia and I have between us over 30 years’ experience of the UK’s independent schools sector, helping international boarding students and their families. We are also parents who understand what it means to have a child away from home at boarding school.
What is an education Guardian and why do you need one?
Studying in the UK offers international students a world-class education and valuable cultural experiences. However, for students under the age of 18, it is a legal and practical requirement to have a responsible adult in the UK to provide support and guidance. This is where an education guardian plays a vital role.
Legal and School Requirements
UK schools and colleges require international boarding students to have a guardian to ensure their welfare while studying away from home. Guardians act as a responsible adult in the absence of parents, providing reassurance to both schools and families.
