What is an
Educational Guardian?
Children and young people who come alone to study in the UK from abroad are required to have an Educational Guardian, who will take on the responsibilities on behalf of the parents, in finding a suitable host family, applying for school places (if required) and supervising the academic process through application, enrolment and study to ensure everything is ready for your child to begin their course of study.
The school will then deal with the education guardian on day-to day matters and your child can turn to Alpha Guardians for help in any situation, as we provide 24/7 emergency cover. We are also able to help with any health, financial or travel needs ensuring your child has a safe and enjoyable time whilst here in the UK.

We have placed 1000’s of students and counting.
It’s been a privilege to get to know these young people, to support and enjoy them as they settle into school and make friends here, in the UK.
We have shared meals together, played board games, watched films and been on many outings. It has been a lot of fun and we have made some very special friends.”
“Conversations around the dinner table have given us insight into different cultures and cuisine.”
“I was really nervous and excited the day we met. But you listened to me very patiently when I couldn’t speak English well. Because of your kindness, I tried to explain what I wanted to tell yo and finally I became confident using English””
