Providing Guardianship & Host Families for International Students

Introducing Alpha Guardians

Alpha Guardians provides high quality Guardianship Services for students studying in the UK living without their parents. We have students studying in both Independent and State schools, living in boarding accommodation or with a local host family. Many of our students have progressed onto top British Universities after leaving our care.

We offer excellent support packages for all international students in our care and aim to be no further than 45 minutes from each student placed. Alpha Guardians is based just an hour by train from London, based in Suffolk, on the East coast of the UK. We welcome students from all around the world.

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.
