Boarding School guardianship and host family service

Choose our professional, AEGIS accredited guardianship service. We can arrange host families for the school holidays, safe UK transportation and emergency assistance for unexpected events across the UK. Our Essential Programme offers a lower cost option for parents not needing such a comprehensive service.

University guardianship service

Many UK universities require parents to appoint a guardian for students under 17 when joining a university. Bright World offers a choice of packages for these parents and students.

Educational guardianship is a person or company in the UK who acts for overseas parents while their child studies here.

All UK boarding schools require overseas parents to appoint a responsible adult or organisation to act as educational guardian to their child. Universities also require a UK guardian for the under 17s.

The Bright World Guardianship programme offers a choice of programmes to suit all needs.

Our Head Office team are fully trained and offer a liaison service between parents and schools.
Our Local Coordinators are there to visit and offer extra support to our students face to face.
Our host families provide a home from home for boarding school students who are not travelling back to their country for the holidays.
Our professional drivers provide reliable airport transfers.
Our Emergency 24/7 email and phone line offers an invaluable service to all overseas parents, students and schools.

Parents who do not need a host family or travel services can opt for our Essential guardianship package.

With Bright World, you can be assured of a safe and reliable service that suits your specific needs.
