Choosing a School

Making the right choice of school for your child can be one of the most difficult decisions a parent has to make, and living overseas can compound the difficulties. Whilst the "League Tables" of schools can give an indication of academic results for a given year, the tables ignore everything else a school may have to offer. There are many excellent educational agents throughout the world who may be able to assist you and Quest Guardians can also offer help and support.

Quest Guardians has direct relationships with over 70 schools throughout the South of England, the Midlands and Wales, both through our placement service and guardianship. We make an assessment of the individual student, taking into account academic ability, confidence and strengths such as art, music and sport. The type and ethos of a school are important factors to consider - religious affiliation, rural versus city, size of school, percentage of overseas students, mixed or single sex, pastoral care.

Quest Guardians will normally recommend up to three schools for consideration. We will make contact with the school, arrange and accompany a child to interviews and follow up with registration as required. Your first step in selecting an appropriate school for your son/daughter is to contact us.
