Finding a Guardian

Sending your child to study in Britain should not be two artificially segmented parts – school placement and guardianship. We do not just find a school for your child and then pass them to someone else. Instead we guide them through the British School Journey until successful entrance to a desired university. Wisdom Spring University Pathway is especially designed for this purpose.

Challenges and Solutions

Challenge:

Limited information available to explain the role of a guardian

Solution:

Traditionally the definition of a guardian provides pastoral care such as accommodation, meals and transportation during half terms and exeats. However there is an increasing new demand for educational advice, which echoes our belief. Hence we introduce a structured Wisdom Spring University pathway that provides educational guidance to international students studying in a UK school. We will regularly update our wechat blog to share with you what is happening in school.

Challenge:

Safety of accommodation environment provided by the guardian

Solution:

We will share with you photos of our lovely homestay and their family members. You will know who your child will be staying with in their half-term holiday.

We are accredited by AEGIS, the Association of the Education and Guardianship of International Students.

Challenge:

Communication with the guardian, including timeliness and frequency, especially on student’s progress in school both academic and wellbeing

Solution:

Apart from taking care of your child’s wellbeing, we monitor their studying progress in the UK and assist with their integration into British life. You will receive our regular updates on your child’s academic progress and their social life. Our Platinum and Jade packages exactly reflect this need. We use social media to contact parents and students using Whats App or wechat or skype, any means you prefer for an instant reply (time difference allowed).

Challenge:

Quality of guardianship service

Solution:

We are proud that our guardianship starts way before the child arrives in the UK and it extends to securing a place in a top university, which gives their British school life a clear goal. We are accredited by AEGIS, the Association of the Education and Guardianship of International Students.

Tiger’s dad
Parent
Cottesmore School
When it came to choosing a guardianship company, we had 2 recommendations (with competitive rates) from the school placement agency. However, after careful consideration, we went with Wisdom Spring Education on 9th August as I felt that they are more knowledgeable and experienced. Wisdom Spring provided all necessary preparation for Tiger straightaway whilst he was in China until Dr Wu accompanied him on his first day in his boarding school on 5th Sept.

The Oratory Prep School
Dr Wu and her team are very responsive and answers my queries on time bar the time difference and we have regular discussions regarding my son’s progression. When my son first started the boarding school, it was a big shock to him and needed time to adjust and plenty of guidance. I was very grateful for the professional advice given to my son by Wisdom Spring which really helped him.

Zijian has been studying in the UK for nearly a year and we are very happy with his progress. At the beginning, we were very worried about him as he never lived away from home and English was not his strongest subject.
