Educational guardianship in the UK, US and Switzerland.
Schools, universities and colleges expect any child under 18 years of age to have an appointed guardian. Schools will contact the guardian on regular basis with any information or queries related to the student, including health, wellbeing and holiday arrangements.
With a wealth of experience and access to the finest resources in international education, Carfax Guardians promises the very best support for your child and complete peace of mind for you. We provide comprehensive guardianship and pastoral services for pupils studying at British boarding schools, and whose parents live overseas. Practical support for foreign students at British universities is also offered.
When children study away from home, they need a stable, safe, and worry-free environment to thrive. Carfax Guardians represent your child in a foreign country and arrange access to those important provisions that children need in everyday life.

Exceptional is the only standard we know
The guardian will help with any arrangements to prepare for the school year from completing all forms and making subject choices.Our guardians will visit your child at school, attend parents’ evenings and sport events, sign documents and grant permissions on your behalf, send off school reports to translate if required, arrange access to emergency money and bank accounts, organize home stay during holidays and additional tuition.
Guardianship in day schools is available for both families who are relocating to the UK and would like educational guardians to help them while settling down, and to the families who wish for their children to study at a day school and live with a host family.
Guardians will help in preparing children for school if required, make all necessary purchases, and will look after their academic development.
Although guardianship is not required for students over the age of 18, the support and advice of a dedicated professional can help a student adapt to a new environment. Guardians can alleviate your worries when facing the unknown: local laws, university rules, flat rental practices, access to health services, and other important provisions of adult life. Carfax Guardians will provide young people with recourse to extra help and advice while they are learning to live independently.
