Boarding School Program
Personalized pricing and scholarships
The total cost of a private boarding school exchange year depends on the school, destination, and scholarship awarded. Many international students receive scholarship funding, helping to make a private school education more accessible than often expected.
Because every student has different goals, interests, and budget considerations, costs vary between schools and programs. We are happy to help families explore the available options and estimate a realistic budget.
What is included in private school tuition?
Private boarding school tuition includes:
- High-quality, personalized education
- Accommodation in campus dormitories
- Full meal plan (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
- School-organized activities on and off campus
- Sports, Arts and extracurricular activities
- Full boarding and support throughout the academic year
A private boarding school is an investment in a successful exchange year and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
By choosing a private school and living on campus, your experience is built around a structured and supportive environment without the uncertainties that can come with host family arrangements.
You can influence what you want your exchange year to include and where you would like to spend it. This means you will know well in advance where your exchange year will take place and what to expect when you arrive, allowing you to truly shape your own experience.
Before acceptance into the program, we create a realistic budget together with you and your parents.
There is no standard fixed pricing from schools. Instead, we negotiate individually with schools based on each student’s goals, preferences, and financial situation to find the most suitable option.
Scholarship amounts vary between schools and depend on several factors, one of the most important being the family’s annual income.
