A comprehensive guide has been published to help Bermudian families apply to British boarding schools.

UK Boarding Schools Guide was offered free of charge between June 5 and June 8. It was produced by British education consultants BvS after they noticed the amount of Bermudian and Caribbean students interested in British boarding schools.

The 170-page guide provides anin-depth analysis of the UK education system, and details the examinations and admissions processes of different British boarding schools.

Tips and advice for Bermudian families were also included, as well as profiles of more than 50 of the UK’s leading independent and state boarding schools.

“We are really delighted that, at last, there is a book written with Bermuda families in mind,” said BvS consultant Niall Browne in a press release.

“There are a number of publications about British boarding schools, but the Schools Fair has shown that Bermudian parents have their own unique considerations. We hope that this guide will help them navigate their way through the often confusing process of selecting the right school for their children.”

BvS Education is the joint organiser of the International Schools Fair, and specialises in providing families with the educational needs their children might require.
