UK boarding schools ask parents who live overseas to appoint an UK guardian for their child. Generally, they require a guardian to be over the age of 25, and not an older brother or sister resident in student accommodation in a university or college in the UK. Students in different age may vary in their needs of attention and support, especially in a total strange environment Some children who had experience staying aboard even think they don't need a guardian as a constrain, but what should be understood is that a guardian is not monitoring daily routine of the student but as coordinator between the student, parents and the school. An appointed guardian can satisfy your special needs, and most importantly provide 24hours emergency support.
