Boarding schools — investing in the next generation
British schools build networks, confidence and native-level English. We handle admission, legal guardianship and regular family reporting — an ArenOne specialty.
- Entry from 11–13 (some from 8)
- Guardianship for under-16s — with us
- A-Level/IB straight to Oxbridge
- Regular academic & welfare reports
UK Summer Camp & Winter Camp
Summer Camp for English and independence; Winter Camp for group life and seasonal activities. Early booking, a UK visa (not Schengen), insurance and supervision — optionally a readiness bridge into boarding.
- Age bands 8–17
- Official camp invitation for the visa file
- Family reporting during the stay
- Optional boarding shortlist after camp
University & the Graduate route
Two years of open work rights after graduation, no job offer needed. Tuition is high (£18–40k) but LSE/Imperial/UCL brands repay it in the global market.
Post-Brexit reality
Schengen visas don't work for the UK — a separate, stricter UK visa file is needed; exactly where a professional file makes the difference. We handle tourist, study, camp and companion visas as distinct tracks.

Frequently asked questions
What does UK boarding cost per year?
Typically about £30–50k/year (often including boarding and meals); top-tier fees run higher. We fix budget, age and university goals first, then shortlist.
What ages suit UK Summer Camp?
Usually 8–17 with age banding. Camp is a strong readiness bridge into boarding but not mandatory — if you choose camp, we wrap visa and supervision in one file.
Switzerland or the UK for boarding school?
The UK is often the more classic A-Level brand at a lower annual fee; Switzerland is multilingual and IB-heavy with higher fees. Choice depends on budget, target language and university — not a slogan. See the Switzerland destination page for the other side.
Does UK property or camp create residency?
No. Camp is short-stay; boarding has its own student/guardian path. Property or hotels do not by themselves create UK residency or a passport — we never sell fake promises.
